To resolve the issue flagged by Google and Hubspot SEO tools, you need to ensure that all the links on your webpage are using proper <a>
tags with an href
attribute.
Possible Issues & Solutions:
JavaScript-Generated Links: If you are using JavaScript to create links dynamically, consider replacing them with proper <a>
tags, or make sure to include href
attributes dynamically.
// Instead of
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = "Link";
// Use
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = "Link";
Buttons as Links: If you're using <button>
or <span>
elements as clickable items that navigate to other pages, replace them with <a>
tags.
// Instead of
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = "<span onclick='goToPage()'>Link</span>";
// Use
document.getElementById("link").innerHTML = "<a href='/some-page'>Link</a>";
Missing href
Attributes: Ensure all <a>
tags have a valid href
attribute.
<!-- Incorrect -->
<a id="hubspot" data-hs-anchor="true">Link</a>
<!-- Correct -->
<a href="/some-page" id="hubspot" data-hs-anchor="true">Link</a>
Hash Links: If you're using anchor tags for on-page navigation, still include the href
attribute with a hash (#
).
<!-- Instead of -->
<a id="section-link" data-hs-anchor="true">Section</a>
<!-- Use -->
<a href="#section" id="section-link" data-hs-anchor="true">Section</a>
Complex Data Attributes: If you are using data attributes like data-hs-anchor="true"
, it's okay to keep them as long as you also include an href
.
<!-- Correct -->
<a href="/some-page" id="hubspot" data-hs-anchor="true">Link</a>
By following these guidelines, you should be able to resolve the issues highlighted by the SEO tools.
