How to Enable Related Posts in WordPress with Jetpack

How to Enable Related Posts in WordPress with Jetpack

When someone comes to visit your website, the goal is usually to get them to hang around for a bit. Whether they entered your site from your homepage, or found one of your posts through an organic search, typically you would like them to continue viewing your content.

But this can be difficult if someone reaches the end of a post and there isn’t anyplace for them to go. One way to resolve this is with the addition of a Related Posts section. This will include a handful of articles that are similar in topic to the one that was just read. If a site visitor clicks on one of those links they will be taken to that related post where they can continue reading information on your site.

There are a handful of ways to add a Related Posts section to your site, but one of the easiest to work with is the offering from Jetpack. Our guide below will show you where to find and enable this option in the Jetpack plugin so that you can start displaying related posts at the end of your posts.

How to Add Related Posts at the End of WordPress Posts
