Yes, you can definitely place buttons or images over another image in Webflow to create different links for different areas. Webflow gives you the flexibility to easily layer elements and manipulate their positions on your webpages.

To achieve this, you can follow these steps in Webflow:

Add an image element to your desired location on the page. You can either upload your own image or choose one from Webflow's media library.
Select the image element and set its position to relative. This will allow other elements to be positioned relative to this image.
Add a div block element to the image by dragging and dropping it over the image. This will be a container for your buttons or other clickable elements.
Style the div block as desired and make it transparent by setting its background color to "none" or "transparent".
Within the div block, add button or image elements for each of the different areas you want to link to. Position these elements over the image using absolute positioning.
Style the buttons or images as necessary and add the proper links to each element by setting their link destinations in the element settings panel. You can link to pages within your Webflow project or external URLs.
Make sure to test your links by previewing your site or publishing it live.

By following these steps, you can easily create different links for different areas on an image in Webflow. This allows you to create interactive and clickable elements on top of your images for improved user experience and enhanced functionality.

Some additional tips to optimize this setup for SEO:

Use descriptive alt text for your images to provide context for search engines and users.
Ensure that the text or images you place over the main image don't completely cover it, as search engines may have difficulty understanding the content if it's not visible.
Use relevant keywords in the anchor text of your links for better SEO optimization.

With this setup, you can create visually appealing and highly interactive websites in Webflow while optimizing them for search engines.
