What is On-page SEO?

On-page SEO is the process of optimizing a website for Google search. It's important for helping Google understand what a web page is about and for helping to rank a web page in the search results.

On-page SEO includes optimizing title tags, content, internal links and URLs. On-page SEO is different from off-page SEO which is optimizing for signals that happen off of your website (for example, backlinks).

On-page SEO includes optimizing the title, meta tags, header tags, and content of a web page to ensure it is easily indexed by search engines.

The title & description tags of a web page are very important because they will affect any search engine's listing result. We give you full control over this data through our customized admin area so you can keep those values under control for every single page on your website. If your website support multiple languages we build specific language related tags. Google will the index correctly al versions (languages) of your page correctly.

Headers in your page should always follow a hierarchy. Try to use only one H1 headers followed H2 and H3 headers and so on. Google used to penalize a bad header hierarchy, they stopped penalizing users from it but lets try to keep your headers in order.

On-page SEO is just one part of an overall SEO strategy. On-page SEO includes the use of intent-based keywords. The goal of on-page SEO is to get more visitors to your website through search engines. 

What is Off-page SEO?

Off-page SEO refers to the ways in which you optimize your website via external means and links are a key factor in that optimization. You want to target well-respected publications when researching backlinks.

Most important ranking factors for SEO search result?

The most important ranking factors for SEO are the same as they have always been: relevancy and authority.

Relevancy is determined by the content of a page, and how well that content aligns with the user's search query. Authority is determined by things like inbound links and social signals.

Both of these factors can be improved through SEO strategies like adding relevant content, optimizing image filenames, and building internal links. Each of these actions improves a ranking factor, which can have a positive effect on a page's search visibility.

Remember Google tries really hard to show your content to the correct people. Make sure you are writing great content!
