Why is internal linking important for SEO?

Internal links distribute link equity (PageRank) across your site, help search engines discover and crawl pages, and guide users to related content. Poor internal linking is one of the most common SEO issues.

A hub page has a high number of outbound internal links, acting as a central navigation point. Category pages, resource hubs, and pillar content are typical hub pages.

How many internal links should a page have?

Most SEO experts recommend at least 3-5 internal links per page. Pages with fewer than 2 inbound links are considered underlinked and may not receive enough crawl attention.
