Tips

  • Keep your link text short. This increases the amount of links that can show and gives AdWords more sitelinks to choose from.
  • Look at your website’s menu for easy sitelink ideas.
  • The order of your sitelinks and how they perform factor into how frequently a sitelink is chosen to show in an ad.
