How to Create an Internal Linking Rule

What is a Rule? A "Rule" is the high-level container for your linking strategy. It tells Catalinks where the links should physically appear on your store and how many links to display at once.

Step 1: Start a New Rule

  1. Open the Catalinks app dashboard in your Shopify Admin.

  2. Navigate to the Rules tab and click Create New Rule.

Step 2: Configure Rule Settings

  1. Rule Name: Give your rule an internal name (e.g., "Winter Snowboard Silo").

  2. Placement Type: Choose whether these links should render in the Above the Fold block or the Below the Fold block.

  3. Max Links Per Page: Use the slider to set a limit on how many links can appear on a single page to prevent overcrowding your UI.

Step 3: Activate

  1. Set the rule status to Active and click Save.

  2. Your rule is now ready to receive Match Patterns!
