What is SEO?
Let's Examine the Different Forms of SEO:
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is the practice of improving a website's visibility and ranking in search engine results. To achieve this, SEO is typically broken down into three core areas:
- Technical SEO: This focuses on the website's infrastructure. It ensures search engines can easily crawl and index your site. Key elements include site speed, mobile-friendliness, site structure, and security. Essentially, it's about making your website technically sound for search engines.
- Off-page SEO: This involves building your website's authority and reputation through external factors. This is primarily achieved through backlinks from other reputable websites, social media engagement, online reviews, and brand mentions. It's about demonstrating your website's credibility and popularity.
- On-page SEO: This centers on optimizing the content and HTML of individual web pages. This includes strategic keyword usage, compelling titles and meta descriptions, well-structured headings, optimized images, and engaging content. It's about ensuring your content is relevant and valuable to both users and search engines.
