Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a form of digital marketing that helps to optimize a website's ranking in search engine results. Tactics such as providing content-rich keywords and phrases, optimizing ranking factors, and establishing an effective internal linking strategy are important components of a successful SEO strategy. Internal links are digital pathways that connect pages within a domain and help with site indexing, navigation, and distributing expertise, authority and trust.

Links should be provided within relevant, valuable content using natural anchor text, to essential and popular pages, deep within a site structure, and in the right number and type.
