My crawl report only shows 1 link

Hello, I've tried a crawl for the site www.doctify.co.uk and it's only returned 1 link in the report which is the homepage. Do you know what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Nina

Hi,
I don't want to insult you with to basic of an explanation so please tell me if this isn't what you mean and im over simplifying it.
Find a link on your website,
right click it and click on inspect element, this will bring up a developer panel at the bottom of your browser (its different for each browser, but there are all similar.) It will have the code that makes the link highlighted amongst the rest of the code that makes up the page.
For instance the "The Mission" link in your footer has this code
The mission<a ="" link="" tag<br="">href=""> = the URL parameter where the link should follow</a> = closing the tag where the link stops
Best SEO practice is
The missionYou should then take this 1 step further for best SEO and include a title parameter for the link which would look like this
The missionEdit: Can't spell

Many thanks,

Thank you ATP! But I think your response was very good! I think for now the important thing is that the pages are in fact indexed by google which is important but there seems to be an issue with the #! as you have also mentioned. Reading up on the link shared by Dirk about AJAX crawlability the #! in the URL's seem to also be the issue. The solution on there is Javascript function that's part of 'HTML5 History API' called window.history.pushState(). I think I will recommend this to the developers...

Thank you very much for the quick response Dirk.

All the links are in javascript - and Mozbot doesn't crawl javascript (Google does however). Try visiting your site with javascript disabled - all you see is a blank page.
There is a similar question herethat may be can help you finding a solution - try also this post on AJAX & crawlability
Hope this helps
Dirk

Moz bot has trouble crawling Angular JS - I believe it's seeing the SPA (Single Page Application) before Universal. Anyone else have this issue? What is the fix?
The Moz bot user agent detection settings are able to read Universal, but the Single Page Application (SPA) version partially loads on the website before Universal. Because of this, Moz (and possibly search engines) think we have massive duplicate content issues. For example, the crawl report said a particular product page (which has about 1,000 words) has 33,000 words and has duplicate content with over 300 other pages. This makes me believe it's only picking up the SPA version. Has anyone come across this, and what would be the fix?

Moz is showing issues at metadata continuously even though the issues are fixed.
I crawled my website by Moz and found many metadata issues (Short meta description, Too long title, Too long URL). I fixed all of the issues. But when I recrawled my site it showed me all issues are fixed except Meta description. I thought maybe my changes are not being saved and I checked again but It seemed okay! All the changes I made it is applied. So, my meta description is okay now but Moz is appearing old meta description what was too short and detecting as an issue. I recrawled my site 4 times. Please help me with that issue. Thanks, Robin

"Sorry! We weren't able to find that page when we crawled your site." Please help!
Can someone please explain whey I am getting this error for this link "http://lensoutloud.com/san-antonio-real-estate-photography/" when I attempt to perform an on page SEO grading? The link is indexed and ranking very well but for some reason Moz says it can't find the page when it crawled my site. This has also happened when I attempt to grade other pages on my site.
