Why Should You Add Links to Text?
Links within your content will:
- Direct Traffic: Guide users to other pages on your store, such as product pages, blogs, or FAQs.
- Enhance SEO: Internal links help search engines understand the structure of your website, improving your SEO rankings.
- Provide More Information: Quickly point visitors to external resources or detailed explanations without overcrowding your page.
