What is the Breadcrumb SEO?<\/span><\/h4>\n

The name Breadcrumb SEO comes from the term \u201cbreadcrumb trail\u201d. It refers to a series of connected information \u201ccrumbs\u201d. This trail of information is used as a navigational tool for guiding visitors. You may or may not have seen them on websites such as Yoast. Yoast features a trail of steps that you take throughout the website, like\u00a0Home > SEO training<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The clear steps leading to a specific page are more important than you think. Visitors on a new website often get lost on any particular page. If they can\u2019t easily return to a previous page with valuable insight, an eager potential customer may simply leave your website in search of another.<\/p>\n
