What is click depth?

Short answer

Click depth is the number of clicks needed to reach a page from your homepage.

The deeper a page is, the less important Google thinks it is. Visitors also give up faster if they have to search for long.

Keep your most important pages within three clicks of your homepage. You do that with a good menu, overview pages and links in your texts.

Real-life example

A gardener had his garden design page five clicks deep. After adding it to the menu it is one click away.
