On-page and off-page SEO complement each other and work together to improve your rankings. However, creating adverts in the internet for something that your website does not promote, or promotes incorrectly can hamper your presence. Including the same information on your website as on citations will help increase the relevancy and accuracy of your company’s syndications. You may wish to begin the process by ensuring your on page SEO is as precise and correct as possible before taking the steps of promoting it elsewhere.
Despite being different to each other, both aspects of SEO are critical to a fruitful online marketing campaign; and each play a part in your business ranking for keywords and phrases that are relevant to the products and services you provide.
Good on page and off page search engine optimisation can lead to successfully ranking for competitive keywords. However, neglecting one side of the campaign can have a negative effect on you overall presence; for example:
Good on page SEO + Bad off page SEO – You may not rank for competitive keywords within your industry.
Bad on page SEO + Good off page SEO – You may rank for less popular and competitive phrases within your industry.
Good on page SEO + Good off page SEO – You stand a much better chance of ranking for more competitive phrases both with your website and from referrers which can include landing pages, directories and other affiliating websites.
