On-Page SEO Basics
What is On-Page SEO?
On-page SEO (also known as “on-site SEO”) is the practice of optimizing web page content for search engines and users. Common on-page SEO practices include optimizing title tags, content, internal links and URLs.
This is different from Off page SEO, which is optimizing for signals that happen off of your website (for example, back links ).
Why is On-Page SEO Important?
Does traditional on-page SEO still make a difference in 2020?
Yup!
Even though Google is MUCH smarter than it was back in the day, they still use old school stuff (like looking for a specific keyword on your page).
And there’s data to back this up.
Our analytics of 1M Google Search found a correlation between keyword-rich title tags and first page rankings.
And if you search for any competitive keyword, you’ll notice that the top ranking pages almost all use that exact keyword in their title tag.
That said:
There’s more to on-page SEO than cramming keywords into your page’s HTML.
To rank your content in 2020, you also need to optimize your content for:
- User experience
- Bounce Rate and Dwell Time
- Search Intent
- Page loading speed
- Click-through-rate
