Why “Click Here” Isn’t the Best Link Text

Hello everyone,

Using “click here” as link text might seem intuitive, but it’s not user-friendly or accessible. Screen readers don’t give context for “click here,” making navigation harder for visually impaired users. Instead, use descriptive phrases like “view pricing details” or “read our blog.” These improve SEO and help users understand what to expect.

While click here is common, it doesn’t add value or clarity. Aim for link text that reflects the destination or action. Improving link clarity benefits everyone—especially your audience. Let’s move beyond vague calls to action and create a better user experience for all.
