Why the need:
- TOC’s are important still to SEO as Google sees them as helping the client or viewer to easily circumnavigate your article.
- If you have a very long article 1500 + words, by having a TOC with either internal facing or external facing hyperlinks within the article, it makes it easy for the user to click on the parts of the article they are most interested in rather than having to scroll through the whole article.
- Makes for better UX
- Better UX makes for improved SEO
- Elementor has an automatic TOC element - meaning once your written or pasted in your article and verified all the correct header and subheaders - You can click on the TOC element and it breaks the article into a well formed TOC.
- If Elementor can figure it out, I’m sure SiteJet dev’s can because your SJ builder is a billion times better because it does not rely on the bloat and bad security of WP nor does it require a plugin in WP which adds that much more bloat and vulnerabilities.
- I can’t believe that no one has requested this before but I did several searches in several different ways and didn’t see any requests for a TOC element.
This is per Google themselves and other well known SEO experts like Moz and Backlinko and others… Not making things up
