Does the Anchor Text has to be unique?

Does the Anchor Text has to be unique? In order to get real link juice out of the host page. Because from what I am seeing many links which have same or similar anchor texts are tend to rank lower in the results.

The link wording should be unique among all of the links on the page, or the link's unique function should be able to be deduced from the context of the link. This aids in determining a link's function and distinguishing it from other similar links.

It is not necessary that your anchor text should be unique. It is quite difficult to maintain the unique anchor text.
But yes it is important to maintain the relevancy of the anchor text.

Anchor text is very important hence it should be used in an optimized manner.

Yes, using unique anchor text improves SEO by providing clear context to search engines about the linked content. Diverse anchor texts also help avoid penalties and enhance keyword relevance.

Yes, anchor text does play a role in SEO, and using unique anchor texts can help improve the effectiveness of the link. If multiple links use the same or very similar anchor texts, it can appear unnatural to search engines and may not pass as much "link juice." To maximize SEO benefits, vary your anchor text while keeping it relevant to the linked content.
For example, using a variety of descriptive anchor texts like "real estate property management" or "dagenham property agents" can help improve the chances of ranking higher.
