Google SitelinksGetting to the top of Google is possible with well directed SEO efforts. One of your major tasks is identifying how Google looks at your site.  They can take a look at your website and identify areas that they think visitors will want.  These pages that Google displays in the search results are known as Sitelinks.

 These Sitelinks are extremely valuable as it really demonstrates to someone searching that Google has found specific pages in your website that they want them to be aware of. 

How can I help Google generate Sitelinks? 

Having a clearly identifiable page hierarchy can really help Google generate Sitelinks for your website.  Google keeps the manner in which they determine Sitelinks a secret so we can only speculate on how to influence our chances of getting these coveted extra links.  If you have pages that you feel are extremely valuable on your website, you can do the following to increase your chances at having Sitelinks show for your website.  

  • Put links to your most valuable pages from your home page
