Incoming links8.6
115 pages link to this website
35 domains link to this website
- There are 115 pages on 35 domains linking to this website. The volume and quality of incoming links is known to influence a website's search engine ranking.
- To appear higher in search engine results, consider link building activity as a way to build your search ranking. Be careful though, because incoming links which are obviously artificial are likely to be detected by search engines and could have an adverse effect.
Source: Ahrefs
Internal links8.9
- 2 links use text that is too long. Links should describe what they link to briefly. Linking a long block of text usually indicates an attempt to trick search engines into ranking those keywords highly (a strategy which does not work). Long linked blocks of text are also harder for people to scan.
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
Overly long link text
Link URL Link text Page URL a2flancashire.growthco.uk/success-stories/anglezarke-designs Anglezarke Designs carried out major improvements to its premises and expanded its workforce by 30 per cent, thanks to a £40,000 loan. a2flancashire.growthco.uk/success-stories/ a2flancashire.growthco.uk/success-stories/epic-risk-management EPIC Risk Management is expanding its services in tackling one of society’s fastest growing problems using a £70,000 loan. a2flancashire.growthco.uk/success-stories/
- Consider shortening long anchor text.
- 5 links have no text describing their destination. Links on a page should describe their destination for the benefit of both screen readers and search engine spiders.
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Empty link text
- Add meaningful anchor text that describes the link's destination. If the link contains an image, ensure you have provided alt text.
Headings9.0
- All pages were found to use defined headings. This is excellent as it allows visitors and search engines to summarize the content of webpages quickly. Correctly defined headings aid accessibility and are particularly important for search engine optimization.
- Some pages did not define headings correctly. The H1 tag should be used for the most top-level heading, with H2 being used for sub-headings and H3 for further sub-headings and so-on. Not conforming to this convention may confuse visitors.
- Ensure that headings are defined in a semantically correct way, i.e. always start with a H1 tag. This is used to summarise the page content. Further tags (H2, H3, H4 etc) are meant to summarise and partition sections within the content.
