How to add your published anchor article to your site navigation

Your anchor article — also called your landing page — is publish-ready. Add it to your site navigation so buyers can find it in one click. The packet’s metadata recommends placing it under a “Resources” or “Resource Center” menu with your topic name as the sublabel. That’s a suggestion — adjust to match your existing site structure.

How to add a page to your nav by CMS:

  • WordPress: Appearance → Menus. Find your primary menu. Add a new “Custom Link” or “Page” → select your anchor article. Save Menu. Drag to position.
  • Squarespace: Pages panel → click ⊕ next to Main Navigation → “Link” → select the page. To create a dropdown, drag pages under a folder.
  • Webflow: open the Navbar element → click the link list → add a new Link with the anchor article as target. Style as needed.
  • Wix: Site Menu (top of editor) → Manage Menu → Add Page → select your anchor article. Drag for order.
  • HubSpot: Marketing → Files and Templates → Design Tools → edit the global header. Or use Menu Manager.

Three patterns that work:

  1. Top-level link. “Resources” appears in the main nav. Single click from anywhere.
  2. Dropdown under “About” or similar. Reduces nav clutter. Less visible.
  3. Footer-only. Used for low-priority placements. Don’t recommend for the anchor article — it should be one click from the homepage.

The pattern most technical buyers expect: top-level “Resources” → your topic name. Clean, findable, matches how they scan a service company’s site for depth of expertise.


Common navigation issues:

  • Can’t find where to add nav items in my theme — most CMSes hide this under “Appearance,” “Design,” or “Site Navigation.” If truly stuck, search your CMS’s help docs for “add menu item” — every platform supports it.
  • Anchor article shows in nav but isn’t clickable — the URL wasn’t set correctly, or the page is still in Draft. Confirm it’s published and copy the live URL into the menu item.
  • Dropdown or submenu not appearing — most CMSes need you to drag the child item slightly right or set its “parent” property. Look for indentation in the menu editor.
  • Item order looks wrong — drag to reorder in the menu editor. Save. Some CMSes cache the menu — hard-refresh (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+F5) to see changes.
  • Nav doesn’t appear on mobile — mobile usually uses a hamburger menu. Check your CMS’s mobile nav settings; often it’s a separate menu you have to build too.
