Context bank

The context bank controls what is eligible as a link target and what is stored in the local index.

Link Pulse context bank settings with post types, exclusions, and custom fields
Context bank — post types in scope, exclusions, and custom field registry.

Indexed by default

Published posts and pages. Per item, the index stores title, excerpt, headings, cleaned body text, and taxonomy terms — plus the structural fields the ranking and reports need (slug, hierarchy, inbound and outbound internal link counts, and any custom fields you register).

On Free, only post and page are in scope. Custom post types are planned for Pro.

Excluded by default

Drafts, private content, password-protected content, trash, auto-drafts, revisions, menus, and attachments.

Excluding content

You can exclude specific posts, pages, categories, or tags from the context bank settings.

This is deliberate: without exclusion, a privacy policy or similar utility page would remain in the orphan report permanently, with no action available to resolve it.

Custom fields

Register custom fields you want included in the index.

Free cap: up to three custom fields, include-in-index mode only. Broader field modes and unlimited fields are planned for Pro.

Structural tags

Taxonomy carries the heaviest weight in scoring (see How ranking works). If a tag is structural rather than topical — for example a “Book List” tag shared by unrelated posts — exclude it. There is no automatic detection of structural tags; that judgment is yours.
