SEO essentially refers to the method of optimizing a website to increase its chances of ranking on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing and thereby increasing the traffic to a website. A combination of both On-page and Off-page techniques is vital to achieve a measurable increase in ranking and traffic numbers.
On-page SEO basically refers to the gamut of SEO efforts made in terms of changes or additions to the website itself. For instance, improving the tech stack of the website, populating it with original content after proper keyword research, adding the different titles and meta tag descriptions, removing duplicate content from the pages and so on.
Off-Page SEO, on the other hand, includes activities undertaken to improve the ranking of a website, outside the ambit of working on the website’s pages.
Building backlinks from authority websites, submitting a website to the relevant directories, and search engine submissions are examples of off-page SEO activities.
