These include footer links or even internal links found in the content body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective navigation system ensures a smooth website exploration, which improves user experience, reduces frustration, and keeps visitors engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to web design, a good sitewide navigation is a pillar of any <a href=\"http:\/\/How to Build an SEO-Friendly Website Structure: Ultimate Guide\">SEO-friendly website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search engines depend on clear navigation to crawl pages efficiently and understand the site structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, effective website navigation can enhance user behavior metrics on your website, such as lower bounce rate and longer time on site, which can boost its perceived value in Google&#8217;s eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Types of Website Navigation Structures for Websites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the five common types of menus used in a website navigation design:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Main menu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A website&#8217;s main menu is the <strong>primary navigation system<\/strong>, guiding users to key pages like Home, About, Services, and Contact.

A sidebar menu provides a dedicated space without overwhelming the main content area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example from Petco:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Petco-sidebar-menu-screenshot-1024x573.png\" alt=\"Petco sidebar menu screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-1390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Petco-sidebar-menu-screenshot-1024x573.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Petco-sidebar-menu-screenshot-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Petco-sidebar-menu-screenshot-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Petco-sidebar-menu-screenshot-1536x859.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Petco-sidebar-menu-screenshot-2048x1145.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Footer menu<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The footer menu is a secondary navigation system at the bottom of a web page. It is meant to complement the primary navigation menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the main menu, which highlights primary pages, footer navigation links provide quick access to details, such as contact information, privacy policies, terms of service, social media profiles, and other minor pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wix-Footer-Links-screenshot-1024x414.png\" alt=\"Wix Footer Links screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-1399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wix-Footer-Links-screenshot-1024x414.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wix-Footer-Links-screenshot-300x121.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wix-Footer-Links-screenshot-768x311.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wix-Footer-Links-screenshot-1536x622.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Wix-Footer-Links-screenshot-2048x829.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Breadcrumbs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Breadcrumbs are another class of secondary navigation item that shows a user&#8217;s path and current location in the site hierarchy. They are often found near the top of a page and are frequently used by ecommerce sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breadcrumbs support site navigation by offering a direct route to parent categories, so users will not have to press the back button. This makes navigation more seamless and keeps users engaged in their exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Contextual links<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linkstorm.io\/resources\/contextual-internal-links\">Contextual links<\/a>, also known as in-text links, are internal links in the content body that take users to related information.

Keep navigation simple and intuitive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some site owners make the mistake of prioritizing creativity and uniqueness over simplicity and intuitiveness. While this might work for purely creative sites, most domains will benefit more if the main menu is straightforward, visible, and not hidden behind icons or complicated layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aim for a concise menu, keeping menu items at around 5-7 labeled links. This will help users quickly understand the website&#8217;s key pages and reach their desired page in as few steps as possible, without confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Costco&#8217;s navigation menu is a bit cluttered. Aside from having multiple links, the two-layered navigation panel makes it extra challenging to identify the most important pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Costco-website-screenshot-1024x518.png\" alt=\"Costco website screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-1387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Costco-website-screenshot-1024x518.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Costco-website-screenshot-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Costco-website-screenshot-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Costco-website-screenshot-1536x777.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Costco-website-screenshot-2048x1037.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A good example of a simple and intuitive website navigation is Swiss Gear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Swiss-Gear-homepage-1024x519.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Swiss Gear homepage\" class=\"wp-image-1398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Swiss-Gear-homepage-1024x519.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Swiss-Gear-homepage-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Swiss-Gear-homepage-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Swiss-Gear-homepage-1536x778.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Swiss-Gear-homepage-2048x1038.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every product sold is accessible from the top, and your account and cart information are on the far right side of the header.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Optimize navigation for mobile<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile optimization is a non-negotiable for effective website navigation, especially since most users will search on mobile devices rather than desktops. The key is to modify your navigation system and website design to adapt to smaller screens seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, instead of showing all menu links on the header, employ hamburger navigation menus or bottom navigation bars for easy access.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, prioritize touch-friendly designs, like adequately sized buttons with enough spacing to prevent accidental taps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a comparison of Amazon&#8217;s website on desktop and mobile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desktop version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-in-desktop-1024x519.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Amazon homepage in desktop\" class=\"wp-image-1392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-in-desktop-1024x519.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-in-desktop-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-in-desktop-768x389.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-in-desktop-1536x778.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-in-desktop-2048x1038.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile version:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"621\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-on-mobile-621x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of Amazon homepage on mobile\" class=\"wp-image-1400\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-on-mobile-621x1024.jpg 621w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-on-mobile-182x300.jpg 182w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-on-mobile-768x1266.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-on-mobile-932x1536.jpg 932w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Amazon-homepage-on-mobile.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 621px) 100vw, 621px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Make your navigation bars visible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem elementary to include this, but even household brands can sometimes overlook contrast guidelines. This negatively impacts user experience as users will be forced to squint to see the main menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One prime example is the Canadian-based furniture company, Gus*:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Gus-homepage-1024x520.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Gus* homepage\" class=\"wp-image-1393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Gus-homepage-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Gus-homepage-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Gus-homepage-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Gus-homepage-1536x780.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Gus-homepage-2048x1039.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the main menu is highlighted when you hover the mouse over it, many visitors might not see the link text enough to bother. Choosing text colors that are easily distinguishable from the background is paramount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Save buttons for calls to action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttons are special elements useful for drawing attention. They are ideally reserved for important links, such as calls to action (e.g., &#8220;Book A Call&#8221; or &#8220;Contact Us&#8221;), and must be used sparingly throughout the website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to create visual separation between regular link text and your CTA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One not-so-good example is Greek Sandals. Their main menu buttons blend in with the CTA, creating zero distinction between other links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Greek-Sandals-homepage-1024x473.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Greek Sandals homepage\" class=\"wp-image-1402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Greek-Sandals-homepage-1024x473.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Greek-Sandals-homepage-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Greek-Sandals-homepage-768x355.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Greek-Sandals-homepage-1536x709.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Greek-Sandals-homepage-2048x946.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Zoom uses CTA buttons effectively, making it unique compared to other buttons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Zoom-homepage-1024x489.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Zoom homepage\" class=\"wp-image-1403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Zoom-homepage-1024x489.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Zoom-homepage-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Zoom-homepage-768x367.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Zoom-homepage-1536x734.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Zoom-homepage-2048x979.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Use a dropdown navigation menu if necessary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dropdown menus are helpful for content-heavy websites or for organizing complex information into sensible categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a full-service digital marketing agency might have blog posts on all marketing facets, such as social media marketing, search engine optimization, PPC advertising, and web development. Having a dropdown menu that segregates each collection can help visitors find their desired resource quicker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One good example of a website using a dropdown is Kadence, where they divided their Knowledge Hub into several categories (resources, reports, blogs, <em>etc.<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kadence-example-of-dropdown-links-1024x520.png\" alt=\"Kadence example of dropdown links\" class=\"wp-image-1389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kadence-example-of-dropdown-links-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kadence-example-of-dropdown-links-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kadence-example-of-dropdown-links-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kadence-example-of-dropdown-links-1536x780.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Kadence-example-of-dropdown-links-2048x1039.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want to feature additional subcategories, avoid implementing cascading dropdowns. These are multilevel dropdowns in which submenus expand when you hover or click the parent dropdown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, use mega menus with a list of categorized links and other essential details. Here is an example mega menu from Shortcut, a project management tool for software developers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Shortcut-website-mega-drop-down-menu-1024x520.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of Shortcut website mega drop down menu\" class=\"wp-image-1397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Shortcut-website-mega-drop-down-menu-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Shortcut-website-mega-drop-down-menu-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Shortcut-website-mega-drop-down-menu-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Shortcut-website-mega-drop-down-menu-1536x780.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-Shortcut-website-mega-drop-down-menu-2048x1039.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Arrange links in order of priority<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When organizing navigation links, place the two most important links on both ends of the navigation menu. This is due to the psychological phenomenon called the <strong><em>serial position effect<\/em><\/strong>, which states that people are likely to remember the first (primacy) and last (recency) items in a sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On many websites, we notice the CTA button in the right-most section of the navigation menu. Your website likely follows suit as well. If so, identify the most crucial link, such as the products, features, or solutions pages, and then place it on the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at how we arranged LinkStorm&#8217;s navigation menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-homepage-1024x520.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of LinkStorm homepage\" class=\"wp-image-1394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-homepage-1024x520.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-homepage-300x152.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-homepage-768x390.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-homepage-1536x780.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-homepage-2048x1039.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We started with the Features since this is where most site owners will be interested in knowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toward the end, we placed the Sign Up CTA button for if they are ready to try LinkStorm for 14 days FREE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> <strong>7. Build highly relevant contextual links<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Contextual links should be naturally integrated within the text without disrupting the content&#8217;s prose or flow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two ways to ensure your contextual links are highly relevant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, make sure the linked pages are semantically related. That means you shouldn&#8217;t link a page about <em>coffee jelly frapuccino<\/em> to another page about the <em>lochness monster<\/em>. It just doesn&#8217;t make any sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, use <a href=\"https:\/\/linkstorm.io\/resources\/anchor-text\">keyword-rich and descriptive anchors<\/a>. Search engines and site visitors depend on anchor texts to understand the linked page&#8217;s context without having to follow the link. More importantly, Google uses anchor texts as a factor in <a href=\"https:\/\/linkstorm.io\/resources\/explaining-link-juice-in-seo\">quantifying link equity distribution<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While building internal links can be done manually, this process is not scalable and practical in the long run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where <a href=\"https:\/\/linkstorm.io\/resources\/best-internal-linking-tools-for-seo\">internal linking tools<\/a> come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linkstorm.io\">LinkStorm<\/a> is an AI-powered internal linking toolkit that automatically finds relevant internal links across your website using semantic analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"541\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-internal-link-suggestions-1024x541.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of LinkStorm internal link suggestions\" class=\"wp-image-1395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-internal-link-suggestions-1024x541.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-internal-link-suggestions-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-internal-link-suggestions-768x406.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-internal-link-suggestions-1536x811.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-LinkStorm-internal-link-suggestions-2048x1082.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Accepting links is as easy as one click, and the suggestion is automatically embedded in your content in real time. This takes the tedium out of internal linking, allowing you to focus on other business activities or marketing facets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Let users know where they are on your site<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating a website can sometimes be tricky, especially for large ecommerce websites with multiple categories, subcategories, and products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suppose a shopper visits a product but realizes it didn&#8217;t check all the desired boxes. They will likely check alternative products under the same subcategory or a different category altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of using the search bar or pressing back, breadcrumbs are good navigation tools that allow users to see their current location on the website and backtrack to their desired category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best Buy effectively implements this on their website, as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Best-Buy-BreadCrumbs-screenshot-1024x487.png\" alt=\"Best Buy BreadCrumbs screenshot\" class=\"wp-image-1386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Best-Buy-BreadCrumbs-screenshot-1024x487.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Best-Buy-BreadCrumbs-screenshot-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Best-Buy-BreadCrumbs-screenshot-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Best-Buy-BreadCrumbs-screenshot-1536x730.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Best-Buy-BreadCrumbs-screenshot-2048x974.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Don&#8217;t forget the footer links<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Footer links are secondary navigation systems found at the bottom of the page. While they are less crucial than header links, they can be essential in certain situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a website visitor reaches the bottom of the website. Footer links reinforce the information in the primary navigation system, encouraging users to explore the website further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, some users might want to check the website&#8217;s privacy policies and terms of service before interacting with it. Most legal compliance documents are in the footer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of footer links:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-MailChimp-footer-links-1024x346.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of MailChimp footer links\" class=\"wp-image-1396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-MailChimp-footer-links-1024x346.png 1024w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-MailChimp-footer-links-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-MailChimp-footer-links-768x260.png 768w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-MailChimp-footer-links-1536x519.png 1536w, https:\/\/wp.linkstorm.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-of-MailChimp-footer-links-2048x692.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Internal Links are Essential for Seamless Sitewide Navigation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many site owners think navigation is limited to primary and secondary navigation menus, but there&#8217;s more to them than meets the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any element that boosts the accessibility of your website is a kind of website navigation tool.
