Is Nextjs Link SEO-friendly? Or how should I use it in a SEO friendly way?
I have a bunch of Links in my landing page, and each Link routes to a different page on my website, so it's like <Link href='/california-hotels'> California </Link> <Link href='/new-york-hotels'> New York </Link>
What I really hope for is that Google crawler can discover each of the pages i.e., www.mysite.com/california-hotels www.mysite.com/new-york-hotels I am just unsure if they will be discovered. I am sure if it's a tag, i.e., <a href="www.mysite.com/california-hotels">California</a> it will be no problem because the url is spelled out.
Does the Google crawler have the ability to find the actual url when I use Link? Thank you
In short: yes, Next.js <Link> is SEO-friendly
<Link href="/california-hotels">California</Link>
will be rendered as
<a href="/california-hotels">California</a>
This is perfectly fine for SEO: search engines will see it as traditonal <a> tag with href attribute. And google crawler is smart enough to understand that href="/california-hotels" and href="www.mysite.com/california-hotels" are the same things (as long as you accessing both from www.mysite.com)
