AI-Powered Internal Link Building with Link Whisper
I’m excited to announce that you can now use the power of artificial intelligence with your internal link building! As the founder of Link Whisper, I’ve always tried to make building internal links faster, easier, and smarter. And now, we integrate with OpenAI to use the latest technology in AI with Link Whisper.
Welcome to AI Visual Sitemaps
Our first step (with more to come in the future) into true AI is with visual sitemaps. The feature just released allows Link Whisper to build a visual sitemap using AI of all the content that AI believes should be clustered together. See the image below.

This is a topical cluster map built 100% with AI. (If you own Link Whisper, just go to Link Whisper > Reports > Sitemaps > AI Sitemap.)
Zooming in to a particular cluster, I start to see more details, like below:

Now, here’s where the real power comes in.
Link Whisper will then show you which of these connections actually have internal links already…and which ones are missing!
Showing Existing Links
I can click a box that says "Show Existing Links" and the green lines show which internal links already exist on my site:

Showing Unlinked Links
Then I can check a box that says "Show Unlinked" and the links that DO NOT exist on my site yet, will show up in blue.

Clearing Up Clusters
Now I can CLEARLY see which links I need to build in order to strengthen the topical cluster.
Create Inbound Link
Oh, but Link Whisper doesn’t stop there. I can then right-click on the unlinked line that I want to create and Link Whisper shows a "Create Inbound Link" button.

I can simply click the button and Link Whisper will take me to the build inbound links screen where I can add an inbound internal link!
AI Sitemaps with OpenAI
As a heads up, you will need to connect your own OpenAI API key. Just go to Settings > AI Settings. There’s a small charge from OpenAI the first time you generate this sitemap. But to give you an idea, I have 3,200 blog posts on Niche Pursuits and it cost me $7.13. And when you have your sitemap in place, there are no ongoing OpenAI charges. It’s a one-time charge once it’s scanned your entire site.
The Future of Link Whisper
In addition, the normal Link Suggestions for Link Whisper are not fully AI-powered yet. That will be the next phase of Link Whisper, to expand the AI enhancement.
But for now, I hope you enjoy the AI sitemaps! Go ahead and snag your copy of Link Whisper here for a small discount to celebrate this new AI release!
