How do I make an internal link? Do I need an extra app or plug-in to help me? Will I have something already in Siteground or WordPress that I don't know about? Not much idea what I'm doing!!

SEO plugins usually show a warning about lack of internal links - but it's just a warning. An internal link is a link to another content on the same site. Could be another page or blog post or image etc. No app or plugin is needed to add one.
First, identify relevant content that you want to link to. Let's say blog post A which is already published.
I am now writing blog post B and I want to link to blog post A. To add this internal link:
That's it. You've now linked to post A from within B.
You can use a button instead of a text hyperlink if that works better for what you're doing.
This was part of a live Q&A and my response starts around 1:45.
ⓘ Tech Note:
I leave the "open in the same tab checkbox" unchecked for internal links. I think it's a better user experience and hopefully keeps people on the site longer.
