How to Use Descriptive Anchor Text for Better Internal Linking
Using specific, keyword-rich anchor text improves internal linking by clearly signalling page relevance to search engines and users.
When creating internal links, avoid generic phrases like "click here" or "read more." Instead, use descriptive anchor text that includes relevant keywords describing the linked page’s content. For example, link with phrases such as "comprehensive keyword research guide" or "local SEO best practices." This approach helps search engines understand the context and relevance of the linked page, improving crawlability and ranking potential. It also provides users with clear expectations about the destination page, enhancing navigation and engagement. [Semrush]
