What is an SEO Company?
When thinking about “what is an SEO Company” it can simply be defined as a company with a goal of maximising search engine optimization to drive traffic and improve how highly ranked your website is on search engines. Most people only click the top 3 search results, so it is important for your business to get as highly ranked as possible.
A higher ranking will also mean greater exposure because when a website ranks in the top positions, it gets more links, more visits and more social media mentions.
What is On-Page SEO?
On-page SEO is what you do directly on your own website and individual pages to help improve the traffic. For your search ranking to improve, on-page SEO needs to be constant. This is done by using keywords in headings, page titles, domain names and Alt titles on images. Search engines “crawl” through blogs looking for keywords when a search is conducted, and the websites with the highest use of those keywords plus the highest rating will be displayed on the first page.
There are seven elements that you should work on to be able to create a blog that will rank well in search engines. These are the following:
- Keywords
- Descriptions
- Title tags
- H1 tags
- H2, H3, H4 tags
- Keyword density
- Keyword placement
What is Off-Page SEO?
After optimizing your page for SEO, you should apply off-page SEO techniques. Off-page SEO is done on an external website which focuses on promoting your website on the internet. This aspect of SEO is primarily done by inbound links from other websites to your site which builds the trust of search engines.
Other ways of conducting off-page SEO is done by uploading your business information onto Googles My Business and other directories which improves the amount of links a website gets, and marketing the company/brand on social media including links to the website which builds reputation, shares and likes. Another way to drive awareness and referral traffic to your site through off-page SEO is guest blogging on other websites. Off-page SEO gives search engines a good indication on how people perceive the website.
