SEO
Anchor Text
The short answer
Anchor text is the clickable, visible words in a hyperlink — the text a search engine reads as a clue about what the linked page is about.
Full explanation
Descriptive anchor text ("our Los Angeles SEO services") gives search engines more useful context than generic anchor text ("click here"), both for the page being linked to and for internal navigation across your own site.
