Alignment: Poor Anchor Text Sends Google Mixed Messages About Your Business
Most Houston-area businesses don’t realize that their anchor text — the clickable words inside links — is quietly destroying their SEO alignment.
Google uses anchor text as a directional signal, and when the signal is wrong, confused, or inconsistent, Google misinterprets your entire website.
Misalignment happens when anchor text:
-
uses generic phrases like “click here”
-
repeats the same keyword too many times
-
links to irrelevant pages
-
points traffic away from high-value services
-
sends users into loops
-
doesn’t match the page’s true intent
-
uses incorrect city-based terms
-
mismatches your branding, marketing, and services
-
links to outdated blog posts or retired service pages
Every time anchor text is misaligned, it tells Google:
“I’m not sure what matters most.”
And Google reacts by:
-
lowering relevance
-
splitting authority between wrong pages
-
weakening city SEO
-
misranking service pages
-
reducing trust signals
-
limiting your visibility
