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
