Wix Blog: Linking to Other Site Pages From Your Blog Posts

Connecting your posts to other relevant pages helps guide your audience, keeps them engaged and makes it easier for them to find the information they need. You can link to site pages by adding hyperlinks to text, inserting buttons, or placing links on images within your blog content.

Adding links to a blog post

Make your blog posts more interactive by adding links to text or images. You can direct readers to other site pages by hyperlinking a specific word or phrase, or by turning an image into a clickable link.

For example, you could link words like 'buy now' or 'view store' or you could add a link to an image of a pair of shoes allowing visitors to click the image and go directly to the product listing in your store.
