Definition
A table of contents (TOC) is a navigation element placed at the beginning of an article that lists main sections with anchor links. In SEO, it offers several advantages: improved user experience, reduced bounce rate, potential generation of sitelinks in Google search results, and better content structure understanding by search engines. Google can use TOC anchors to create links directly to specific sections in SERPs, increasing page visibility and CTR.
