Page Level SEO Warning: No Links Found on This Page

If you see a warning in SureRank like:  “No links found on this page”

 This article explains what it means, why it matters, and how to fix it even if you’re not a technical person.

What’s the Problem

Links are essential for both user navigation and search engine optimization. Pages without any internal or external links may struggle to rank because:

• Search engines can’t discover related content – Internal links help Google understand the structure of your site.
• Users can’t navigate easily – Links guide visitors to other useful content or products.
• SEO value is not distributed – Links pass “link equity” (authority) between pages, helping them rank better.

Example issues caused by no links:

• Visitors may leave the page quickly because they have nowhere to go.
• Search engines may not crawl other important pages on your site.
• Page may appear “isolated,” reducing its SEO value.

Why This Matters

A page without links can:

1. Limit organic traffic potential because search engines struggle to find and rank it.
2. Reduce user engagement as visitors can’t explore other pages or products.
3. Prevent proper indexing of related content, affecting overall site SEO performance.

What to Do

Step 1 – Add Internal Links

Internal links connect your page to other pages on your site:

• Link to relevant blog posts, products, or category pages.
• Use descriptive anchor text that tells users (and search engines) what the linked page is about.
• Avoid overstuffing links; 2–5 relevant internal links per page is a good starting point.

Example: If your page is about “Best WordPress Plugins,” link to other pages like:

• SureRank SEO Plugin
• SureForms Plugin

Step 2 – Add External Links (Optional)

Adding a few trusted external links can improve user experience and SEO credibility:

• Link to authoritative sources or references.
• Make sure external links open in a new tab so users stay on your site.

Example:

• Link to WordPress.org documentation when referencing plugin features.

Step 3 – Review and Test

After adding links:

• Open the page in your browser and check that all links work correctly.
• Make sure the links are relevant and enhance user experience.

Step 4 – Verify with SureRank

• Edit the page in WordPress.
• Click the SureRank icon in the top-right corner of the editor.
• Select Analyze – this will open the Analyze tab, showing a list of Page Checks.
• Once the changes are made, the SureRank page-level check will automatically run and update the status.
• If editing the page using a Page Builder, please save your changes in the editor before refreshing the checks.

Best Practices

• Ensure every important page has at least a few internal links.
• Keep anchor text clear and concise.
• Link to pages that add value for users.
• Avoid broken or irrelevant links.
