An internal link should explain its destination before someone clicks

Internal links help readers move from a question to a relevant explanation. They also need to be implemented in a form that a search crawler can discover and interpret.

A practical example

An article about a home charger might point to an explanation of charging infrastructure. Use anchor text that names that next topic rather than repeating a vague phrase such as click here. Test the destination and keep the link in a sentence where it adds useful context.

What to check

• Use ordinary link elements with valid destinations for important navigation.
• Choose concise anchor text that describes the linked page.
• Review broken, redirected and out-of-date links when editing related content.

The trade-off

Adding links everywhere can make prose harder to read. A small number of well-chosen connections is often more useful than mechanically attaching the same destination to every occurrence of a keyword.

Research context

Google Search Central explains crawlable links and recommends descriptive anchor text. These implementation principles support discovery and clarity; they do not prescribe a guaranteed ranking outcome.
