Internal Linking Guide

Hyperlinks that connect pages within the same website.

Internal linking refers to hyperlinks that point from one page to another page within the same domain. Internal links serve two main purposes: they help users navigate between related content, and they distribute "link equity" (PageRank) across the site to signal to search engines which pages are most important. A strong internal linking structure improves both SEO and user engagement by guiding visitors to relevant content.
