AISQ Progress Update #9 – One-Click Internal Links, a GEO Blind Spot, and the Full GEO Workflow Inside WordPress

Squirrly’s been busy tightening up the GEO Plugin, and the updates all point in the same direction: making it faster and easier to get your WordPress content actually understood and cited by AI engines. This rundown covers a completely rebuilt internal linking tool, a surprising audit finding that hit every single site tested, and a look at how all the plugin’s pieces fit together into one workflow.

Let’s get into it.

Internal Linking Gets a Total Rebuild

The Inner Links tool inside the GEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO has been rebuilt from the ground up, and it’s no longer tied to the Focus Pages system the old version depended on. Thanks to upgrades to Squirrly’s crawler technology, you can now generate internal links just by entering a keyword and a target URL — a request users have been making for a couple of years.

The new version also works alongside whatever other plugins you’re already running. In practice, it’s a single click: Squirrly’s crawlers scan your whole site, match up relevant pages, and hand you a list of linking opportunities you can approve on the spot.

There’s also a short video walkthrough showing why internal links matter so much for AEO and GEO performance. Watch how the new Inner Links tool works here.

A GEO Gap Almost Nobody Knows They Have

Squirrly ran its GEO/AEO Audit across 200 websites spanning different industries and content types, and turned up one issue that every single site shared: none of them used question-style headings.

Most content is written around topics — think “Benefits of Email Marketing” — rather than the actual questions people type into tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. That’s a problem because AI search tools tend to favor content that mirrors how people naturally phrase their questions, and a heading like “What Are the Benefits of Email Marketing?” signals a direct answer in a way a plain topic heading doesn’t.

The fix is simple: rewrite your subheadings as real questions your audience is asking, then answer them right underneath.

Squirrly’s Keyword Research tool can help surface those exact questions, and readers can run their own GEO/AEO Audit inside Squirrly SEO to see if their own site has the same blind spot.

Seeing the Whole GEO Picture in One Place

Rather than offering a single isolated feature, the GEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO is built around a full workflow: Audit, Research, Structure, Index, and Measure.

AI-generated answers aren’t fixed rankings the way traditional Google results are — they shift based on the prompt, the model, and the individual asking — so a single score or a one-time file generation doesn’t tell the whole story.

Instead, the plugin bundles the GEO Audit for spotting fixable issues, AI-driven keyword research based on natural questions, the new Inner Links tool, custom schema support (which can be built with help from ChatGPT or Claude and added directly in Squirrly), and automatic or manual indexing through systems like IndexNow and the Google Indexing API.

It also handles llms.txt and llms-full.txt files right inside WordPress, offers per-page AEO/GEO inspection with a hover-and-click check, and tracks real, verifiable AI-driven traffic from sources like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini through connected Google Analytics data. All of it is tied together by a guided “14 Days Journey to GEO” that walks you through one action at a time.

That’s this update in a nutshell — a faster way to build internal links, a wake-up call about a heading gap almost every site shares, and a clearer view of how it all connects into one GEO workflow.
