The structure of your site will become clear when you link your hierarchical posts and pages with the Subpages block

Let’s say you have an entire site about snacks. One of the pages on the site is about chips and your love for them. That’s the main page on chips, also called the parent page. Then, you use subpages to write about the different chips varieties. For example, you have one page about potato chips, another one about nacho chips, etc.

Now, you want to make sure people and search engines find all these pages. What’s the best thing to do? Add links from the parent page to all the subpages, of course. And how will you do that? You guessed it, with the Yoast SEO Premium Subpages block. Add the block, and the links will appear. It’s like magic.  

Readers will stay on your site longer when you link your subpages with the Siblings block

Remember those pages on chips varieties you just read about. Well, not only should you link to them from their parent page, but you should also link them with each other. Like that, people will be able to jump from page to page and discover new interesting information! Again, you can just add the Yoast SEO Premium Siblings block, and see the related sibling’s links appear. Quick and effective!
