Internal links are hyperlinks that connect one page of your website to another. They help guide users through your website, improve navigation, and distribute link equity (SEO value) across your site. Internal links are critical for on-page optimization as they help search engines understand the structure of your website and improve crawling efficiency.




Improved Navigation: Internal links make it easier for visitors to explore your website and find relevant content.
Better SEO: They distribute link equity across pages, improving rankings for important pages.
Increased Engagement: By directing users to related content, internal links help reduce bounce rates and increase time spent on your site.
