On-page SEO refers to all of the things you can do to a website to optimize it for search engines. On the other hand, off-page SEO refers to things you can do externally to the website in order to help rankings.

On-page SEO tactics include:

  • Meta tags: Properly formatted title tags, meta descriptions and headers (H1, H2, H3, etc)
  • Website structure: A website structure with separate pages for each primary service, product or topic, so that pages are well aligned with keywords your prospective customers are searching.
  • URL structure: Proper URL structure with keywords in the webpage URLs.
  • Website copy: Well-written and informative website copy that provides the information that prospects are seeking when searching in Google and landing on your website.
  • Images: Images named with relevant keywords in filenames, and alt attribute text.
  • Contact Information: Complete and accurate contact information, preferably in the footer of your website.
  • Blog: A blog or other section of your website that you can frequently update with fresh content.
  • Canonicalization: Making sure that each page on your website only loads at one distinct location.
  • Sitemap: An XML sitemap that helps Google index all of the pages on your website.
  • Internal links: Internal links that make it easy to navigate from page to page, and no broken links (404 errors)
  • Website Speed: A fast-loading website for improved user experience.
  • Mobile Optimization: A mobile-friendly website so mobile users can access and navigate your website.
