On-Page SEO – Optimizing Individual Pages for Maximum Search Visibility
Introduction to On-Page SEO
On-Page SEO is the practice of optimizing individual web pages to rank higher on search engines and earn more relevant traffic. Unlike Off-Page SEO, which focuses on backlinks and authority, On-Page SEO ensures that content, HTML, and user experience are fully optimized for both search engines and users.
It’s the foundation of any successful SEO strategy because even with strong backlinks, a poorly optimized page will struggle to rank.
On-Page SEO vs Off-Page SEO
