SEO Cross Links

Mageworx’s SEO Cross Links has been designed to help Shopware-based merchants automate the process of external and internal linking of relevant keywords to relevant content.

Cross-links are essential for any SEO optimization strategy as they help you to:

• Build the authority of your site pages
• Make your quality content better accessible for site visitors and search engines
• Improve site performance by keeping viewers longer as they navigate through the pages.

With this Shopware plugin, spreading the link juice between hundreds or even thousands of your online store pages can become fast and easy.

Internal and external cross-links SEO

Both search engine crawlers and site visitors use links to access content on your website. Besides, the more links a specific page receives, the more valuable it is seen by Google and the more likely it is to get to the top.

With this Shopware extension, you can:

• Quickly enable/disable dynamically added cross-links while keeping your entities’ data untouched
• Specify the maximum number of keywords to be replaced on the product, category, and landing pages
• Add titles and alt tags to your cross-links
• Quickly choose which site destinations you wish your external/internal cross-links to build to (product/category/landing pages)

Importantly, thanks to the ability to connect to entities for an internal link destination, there is no necessity to monitor cross-links’ correctness and up-to-dateness instantly.

The Cross Link SEO plugin comes with the ability to set up links to open in a new tab. It allows site visitors to explore external content as much as they wish to and navigate back to your website without having to click the back button again.

Distinctly, the SEO Cross Links Shopware plugin allows you to use the “+” symbol within cross-links. This feature will enable you to convert a variety of words, for example, that start with a specified word beginning into links. For example, the “Locat+” cross-link will transform such words as “located, locate, locates, locator, locating,” etc. into a link.

Mageworx’s Shopware 6 plugin enables you to add links with rel=”nofollow” attribute and thus stop search engines from passing any link authority to specific URLs you are linking to.
