Yes — WriteText.ai can generate content that includes real, working hyperlinks as part of the output. The AI finds and verifies the URLs itself; you don't need to add or edit links manually after generation. However, this only works reliably with the right setup: a custom prompt section and the Advanced research setting.

Why link generation requires a specific setup

The core risk with AI-generated links is hallucination. Large language models can produce URLs that look entirely plausible but don't actually exist — because the model is pattern-matching from training data, not browsing the web. Publishing content with broken or invented links damages credibility, creates a poor user experience, and can harm your store's SEO.

WriteText.ai addresses this through its Advanced research setting, which enables the AI to actively browse and verify URLs at the time of generation. Without it, there is no live verification — and hallucinated links can appear in your output.

Where to set this up: custom prompt sections

Link generation is only available through custom prompt sections in your template. Standard template sections — such as introduction, features, or benefits — are not designed for instructing the AI to find and verify external URLs.

If you want links in what would normally be a standard section, the solution is to use a custom prompt section in its place. Custom prompt sections give you direct control over what the AI is asked to do, how the output should be formatted, and what conditions the links must meet.

Within a custom prompt section you write an instruction that tells WriteText.ai exactly what kind of links to find and include. For example, you might ask it to find recipe pages from credible websites where a specific ingredient is a main ingredient, present each as a sentence with a working HTML hyperlink, and only include links it can verify as real at the time of writing.

Setting research to Advanced

For the AI to find and verify real URLs, the research level in your template must be set to Advanced. This is what enables WriteText.ai to browse the web during generation rather than relying on its pre-trained knowledge alone.

The three research levels are:

None — no external research; the AI works from product data and attributes only
Basic — light research to enrich product context
Advanced — full real-time browsing and URL verification; required when your custom prompt asks for links

Advanced research does more work per generation than Basic or None, which is reflected in credit consumption. Before running generation across a large catalog, use the template preview to check the estimated credit cost per product so there are no surprises at scale.

Because the AI is actively browsing and verifying sources in real time, generation will also take longer than with Basic or no research — this is expected and a sign that the verification is actually happening.

Writing a custom prompt that produces reliable links

A well-written custom prompt for links should specify what kind of links you want, define what qualifies as an acceptable source, describe how the output should be formatted including any HTML attributes, and include a fallback instruction telling the AI to output nothing if no verified links are found.

That last point is important. An instruction like "if no verified links are found, output nothing" prevents the AI from filling the gap with a fabricated URL just to satisfy the prompt.

For HTML formatting, your prompt can instruct WriteText.ai to include attributes such as target="_blank" to open links in a new tab, and rel="nofollow noopener" for proper link hygiene on external URLs you're not endorsing as part of your own SEO strategy.

Typical use cases

Custom prompt sections with Advanced research are well suited for generating content that links to:

Recipe inspiration — third-party recipe pages for food, beverage, or ingredient products
How-to guides and tutorials — instructional content relevant to a product's use
Internal linking to related products — linking to complementary or frequently bought together products within your own store to support navigation and SEO
Internal resources and store pages — linking to relevant guides, FAQs, size charts, or other pages on your own site that add value to the product page
Compatibility references — accessory pages or replacement parts within your store or from the manufacturer
Brand or certification pages — official brand sites or certification bodies for trust-building
Care and maintenance resources — guides for products that require upkeep, such as tools, outdoor equipment, or textiles

Quick setup checklist

Add a custom prompt section to your template where you want links to appear
Write a prompt that specifies the link type, source quality, HTML formatting, and a no-output fallback if no verified links are found
Set research level to Advanced in your template settings
Check the estimated credit cost in template preview before running bulk generation
If you need links in a standard template section, replace or supplement it with a custom prompt section instead
