# Clear, quick guide to Sitelinks in Google Search

## **What Are Sitelinks?**

- Sitelinks are **extra links under your main search result** in Google.
- They help users jump directly to important sections (e.g., Courses, Blog, Contact, About).
- Google generates them **automatically**—you can’t request or manually add them.

**Example**:

FSIDM – Practical Digital Marketing Course in India  

fsidm.in  

Courses | Blog | Contact | About Us

## **How Google Decides Sitelinks**

Google looks at:

- **Clear, logical site structure**
- **Internal linking** (important pages linked prominently)
- **Anchor text** of internal links (short, relevant, descriptive)
- **Navigation menus and breadcrumbs**
- **Popularity of pages** (pages that get more clicks internally)

**Best Practices to Increase Sitelinks**

✅ **Use clear navigation** – Home → Courses → Modules → Contact
✅ **Link to key pages from multiple places** (header, footer, blog, etc.)
✅ **Use descriptive anchor text** (instead of “Click here,” use “View Courses” or “Contact FSIDM”)
✅ **Avoid duplicate titles & content** that can confuse Google’s sitelink algorithm
✅ **Ensure mobile-friendly design** (good UX helps sitelink detection)
✅ **Add breadcrumbs schema** (BreadcrumbList) for better hierarchy clarity
✅ **Make important pages indexable** (no noindex, no robots block)

## **Removing a Sitelink**

If Google shows a sitelink you don’t want:

- You can’t “delete” it directly.
- Options:

  - Remove that page (if unnecessary)
  - Add noindex to that page
  - De-emphasize it by reducing internal links to it
