Adoption of Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
SEO is very essential for a website because it provides the visibility, required to attract customers. Nowadays, 83% of customers and 92% of B2B buyers will perform searches online before they buy, so websites that do not have a strong online presence will find themselves falling behind the competition.
Appearing at the top of a search engine defines the overall credibility of content. When a customer searches for a product or service, the likelihood is high that the customer will visit top ranked websites in the search engine. Top ranked websites get maximum amount of organic traffic that can boost their sales or services.
A strong and well managed SEO strategy will allow websites to position their content highly on the SERPs for relevant keywords so that they can grab the attention of a random customer and bring them into their sales funnel.
There are three main types of SEO:
- On-Page SEO
- Off-Page SEO
- Technical SEO
On-Page SEO:
On-page SEO is the process of optimizing pages on your website to improve rankings and user experience.
A well-optimized page helps Google to understand what exactly the content is about, which helps it organize and rank your page.
A question arises that how we can optimize our content?
Firstly, we go through a deep keyword (mainly a phrase or word) research. Keyword research gives us a detailed overview that includes keyword competition, keyword search volume etc.
Now we have got a road map for SEO campaign. Our next step is to optimize our content according to our shortlisted keywords. We use the best techniques to place the keywords in required places by avoiding keyword stuffing.
Here is a list of essential elements that will be optimized:

In order to show your website in search engine results pages (SERPs), Google has to know what your page is about. By using specific keywords in the title of each page (<title>, </title>) makes it easier for search engine crawlers to understand your website.
Meta Description:
Your Meta Description is your page summary that appears in SERPs. It is a short description about the content of your page that user reads and visits your page.
URL:
A URL is the address of a page. URLs for your website’s pages should include brief descriptions of the page’s topic that must include primary keywords.
Heading tags:
Heading tags are used to break content with H2, H3, H4 to improve readability. Headings must contain core keywords.
Alt tags:
Alt tags provide more information for videos and images. Besides Google, alt tags also help users that can’t see or interact with your content.
Content:
Content provides answers to users and context to search engines. Content optimization is very important, that’s why we make content more readable and use the best techniques to optimize it.
Internal linking:

Off-Page SEO
Off-page SEO refers to all SEO techniques that do not involve updating or publishing content to the website. These techniques, took place outside your website and involve links from other websites, shares on social media and forums, and mentions across the web.
An off-page SEO methodology supports your website and attempts to add credibility, relevance, trustworthiness, and authority to your website. Off-page SEO is entirely significant in light of the fact that it tells web crawlers that your site means quite a bit to others on the web.
Here are essential elements of off-page SEO:
Citations:
Citations in SEO are a web-based reference to a business that includes the business’ name, address, and telephone number (NAP). Google’s algorithm views at your NAP data as a sign of importance and confirmation that you’re a genuine nearby business.
