🧭 Overview

OTTO's Internal Linking Opportunities feature can, in some cases, apply the same anchor text across a large number of pages, creating widespread duplication. There is currently no bulk regeneration option within the platform. This article explains what to expect and how to get help resolving the issue as efficiently as possible.

⚠️ Understanding the Limitation

When OTTO generates anchor text suggestions for Internal Linking Opportunities, it may produce identical anchor text across many URLs — for example, when a batch of pages shares a dominant keyword theme. Once those suggestions are accepted and deployed, the platform does not provide a one-click option to regenerate or replace them in bulk. This is a known product limitation.

🔍 Step 1: Identify the Full Scope of Duplication

  1. Navigate to OTTO SEO → All Sites (SEO Automation) using the left sidebar.
  2. Open the Internal Linking Opportunities section.
  3. Review your deployed suggestions and note which anchor texts appear to be repeated and across how many URLs.
  4. Determine whether the duplicates are concentrated on a single target page or spread across multiple targets — this affects which remediation path is most practical.

🚨 Step 2: Escalate to Our Team for Assisted Remediation

Because bulk regeneration is not currently available in the platform, and because per-suggestion editing of already-deployed anchor texts is not a confirmed self-serve option at this time, the recommended path for any volume of duplicate anchor text is to contact our team directly. Our team can assess options for assisted remediation based on your specific situation.
