Definition

Sitelinks are additional links to internal pages of a website displayed beneath the main result in Google Search — typically shown for branded queries on authoritative domains. They provide direct navigation shortcuts to key sections of a site. Sitelinks reflect site structure clarity. Google generates sitelinks for sites with logical site structure and well-defined internal linking — the same structural foundations that support AI crawler comprehension. The same site structure that earns sitelinks — logical hierarchy, explicit internal linking, clear page naming — also supports AI crawler comprehension of how a site’s content is organized.
