Google's documentation says it parses a link when it is an anchor element with an href attribute, and that most links in other formats will not be parsed.

Pick the targets#

List pages that already rank on page two for a query you care about. A few links from related pages is the cheapest move you have.

Write the anchor#

"Pricing for teams" says more than "click here". Keep it short and accurate.

Add it with a review#

A proposed change shows the current text and the new text together, and waits for approval.
