Replace Generic Anchor Text with Descriptive Keywords for Better SEO

Link Analyzer

What is this warning?

You're using generic phrases like 'click here' or 'learn more' as your link text. This is a missed opportunity for SEO. The text of a link (its 'anchor text') is a strong signal to search engines about what the linked page is about. Using descriptive text helps both users and search engines understand the destination.
