What are the 4 types of SEO?

Post by Tems »

I keep seeing people talk about different "types" of SEO. What does this even mean? isn't SEO just SEO?

There's 4 main categories:

1. On-page seo
  • Stuff you control on your actual page
  • Keywords in title, headers, content
  • Meta descriptions
  • Image alt text
  • Internal linking
  • This is like 40% of seo
2. Off-page seo
  • Stuff happening outside your site
  • Mainly backlinks from other websites
  • Social signals
  • Brand mentions
  • This is another 40% of seo
3. Technical seo
  • Site speed
  • Mobile optimization
  • Site structure
  • XML sitemaps
  • Schema markup
  • This is like 15% of seo
4. Local seo
  • Google my business
  • Local citations
  • Reviews
  • Only matters if you're a local business
  • Last 5%
Start with on-page because it's easiest to control. Then work on getting backlinks. technical seo can come later

Honestly this is overthinking it

Just think about it as:
  • Stuff on your site (content, keywords, structure)
  • Stuff other sites say about you (backlinks)
  • Technical stuff (speed, mobile)
Focus on making great content with right keywords. that's 90% of what matters

All the other stuff is minor tweaks that matter once you already have good content
