What are backlinks?
A backlink (also referred to as an “inbound link”) is simply a link from another website to your website.
Why do backlinks matter?
To achieve this goal, Google ranks content based on EAT, which stands for “expertise,” “authority,” and “trustworthiness.” In other words, Google prioritizes—and more or less rewards—credible websites by ranking them well, which makes Google users more likely to click on and visit these well-ranking sites.
If you want to improve your SEO, you need to prove to Google that your website is credible and has authority. And, arguably, the most effective way to do this is to get backlinks to your website.
