Sitelinks

Quick Definition

Sitelinks are the additional links that appear under a main search result, deep-linking into specific pages of the same site.

In context

Sitelinks are awarded automatically by Google to brands with strong site architecture and clear internal navigation. You can't directly request them, but you can influence them by maintaining a clean menu structure and strong internal linking from your homepage.
