Anchor link best practices
You can add anchor links to any text on your page. However, it is best to attach anchor links to headings and subheadings. Both are good for summarizing the content of the page for readers and search engine crawlers.
When you add anchor links to your headers, the header text doubles as the anchor text of the link. Therefore, it is important to choose relevant, keyword-rich headers and subheadings that tell readers and search engines what the section is about.
Choose a keyword phrase for your anchor links. Single-word links can sometimes be confusing and don’t give Google enough context about the link or page they point to.
Use descriptive words that give the reader an idea of what to expect after they click. For example, if your anchor link is titled “Local SEO,” readers will expect to jump to the part of the page that talks about local SEO.
