Hi everyone, welcome to Qt blogging and in this video, I will show you how you can add
0:04
a link preview to your WordPress website. So if you open any blog post and you will see that there are multiple links, but if
0:12
I hover over this link, it will just show a link in the top left corner, but it will
0:19
not show a preview of that link. So user can know what the links lead to
0:24
So if you show a preview in this link, then user can easily understand that what the link
0:29
is about and they can understand before clicking on that link. So let's check how we can add a link preview to your WordPress website
0:39
So what I can do is I will install a plugin called links.ai
0:45
So let's install this plugin here. So I will go to WordPress dashboard and here under the plugin section, I will click on
0:53
add new. And I can simply search for link.ai and let's install this plugin now
1:05
Now let's activate this plugin and this plugin will automatically add a link preview to all
1:10
of your links on your WordPress website. So let's click on the link.ai here and let's click on the sign up button here
1:21
Now you can enter your email address and password here and let's click on continue
1:26
Now it will take you to this wizard. Now you need to enter your website address here and let's click on add here
1:35
Now let's click on the external and internal link here. Now let's click on next and I will select the free plan here, but you can also get different
1:46
premium plans if you want to explore more premium features, but I recommend to use the
1:53
free plan in the beginning and in later you can upgrade to the premium version
1:58
So let's click on the free plan here. Now let's click on activate links.ai
2:05
Now it will redirect you to your WordPress website. Okay, so in free plan, you will get 2,500 previews per month and you can upgrade it
2:14
to your premium plan if you want higher link previews. So let's go to the front end and let's check how the link preview works
2:25
So I will go to the blog here and I will open a blog post here and when I hover over this
2:32
link, it should show a link preview like this. So this is an external link and here as you can see that there is another external link
2:42
here like this digital marketing services and it will show the images title and the
2:47
meta description and let's scroll down here and let's select an internal link here
2:55
So I will go to the blog post here and I will open the second post here
3:01
Now let's hover over an internal link here and as you can see that the internal link
3:05
will show like this and you can also add a YouTube link here
3:10
So let me just show you. So what I can do is I will click on edit post here and let me just go to the YouTube
3:17
and grab a link here and let me grab this link here
3:21
I will internal link the YouTube. So what I can do is let me just add the YouTube link here
3:29
So I will select this word and I will paste that YouTube link
3:34
Let's click on enter here. Now let's click on update. Now let's click on view post here and as you can see that we have added the YouTube
3:45
link preview here. So let's click on here and as you can see that it will play that YouTube video in a
3:53
pop-up window. So in this way, user don't have to leave your website to view the video
4:00
You can simply add a pop-up link like this. Now scroll down here
4:05
Let's click on Google here and it will automatically redirect to Google
4:10
Let's click on local SEO here and as you can see that it will take me to the internal links
4:16
So in this way, you can add a link preview to your WordPress website and user can know
4:20
that if this link is correct or not and what the link is about
4:25
So they can see a preview of that link in your website and in free version, you will
4:31
get 2,500 link previews per month and you can upgrade it later if you need
4:38
