Sitelinks
In one line
Sitelinks are the additional sub-page links Google shows beneath a main result — typically on brand searches — auto-selected from your site structure.
Going deeper
Sitelinks usually appear on brand or domain searches — the small grid of links to pages like 'About', 'Pricing', 'Contact' or 'Blog' that sits under the main result.
Google selects them automatically, so you cannot pick them directly. A clean site architecture, healthy internal linking and clear page titles all raise the odds that the right pages get chosen.
Some variants — like the Sitelinks Search Box — can be enabled through structured data. Sitelinks shape the first impression of your brand SERP, which makes them worth a periodic audit on any brand-heavy site.
