Internal links are like bridges among your pages; they help your visitors to navigate from one page to another.
Ideally, for landing pages, you should mostly build incoming internal links that guide your audience from other website pages to the landing page to help you convert them into customers.
Although there are instances where you would need to build links from a landing page to other informational pages of your website, the number of these links should be kept to a minimum.
These outbound internal links should only be created when they add a layer of trust for your visitors to improve your conversion rates.
You can build 2 types of links for your landing pages:
- Inbound internal links: Links from other website pages to your landing pages.
- Outbound internal links: Links from your landing page to other pages on your website.
Why Do You Need To Build Internal Links On Your Landing Pages?
The focus primarily is almost always on building incoming internal links to the landing pages. This is especially true if you are trying to rank your landing pages organically.
Outbound links from the landing page should be avoided until necessary for your conversion goal. You do not want your users to get distracted when they are on the verge of completing a purchase.
But there are some instances where you should link other pages on your website from the landing pages.
It is used mainly to add links to pages that improve the conversion rate by sharing integral information with the user and building trust with your audience.
Building Trust To Boost Conversion Rate
Landing pages usually do not have a lot of information; they are designed to attract your visitors' attention to the main CTA button on the page.
Hence, landing pages may not offer all the necessary information regarding the business's products or services.
A good practice is to add internal links to those informational pages from your landing page so visitors with buying intent can check out the information they need to take the buy call.
These outgoing internal links should be built in limited numbers and only when necessary.
Improve Contextual Relevance
You should link internal pages on your website that share contextual relevance to your landing page. This helps your visitors move along the conversion path.
First, they discover your product and services, and then they are guided towards either signing up for a newsletter, updates, or the purchase button, depending on your sales funnel design.
These internal links also pass the page authority to your landing page, which in turn improves the organic rankings of your landing page.
Why Do You Need To Build Inbound Internal Links On Your Landing Pages?

- Find pages on your website that are semantically relevant to your landing page.
- Figure out which of those related pages have high authority.
