Optimisation in general means,  to make something as good and as useful as possible. So, we go for SEO, as SEO is an art of getting your websites highly ranked on any search engines in the organic listing. (organic listing or unpaid listing is listing of websites on search result pages).

 

Now here comes the importance of SEO:-

Above all, were the important factors that mainly helps a website to get optimise with on-page Optimisation.

But there is one more kind of Optimisation that is off-page SEO, as understandable by the name itself that it's off-page that means whatever activities you and others do away or off from your website to increase the ranking of your page on search engines.

 

People think for off-page that it won't mean that much or it is just about links but now it's a big part need to followed to get your page ranked (almost 10%).

 

Unlike on-page SEO off-page is not about optimising your content or site it's about getting your website as trustworthy,  usable and a good search result in search engines aspects.

 

This can be done in different ways the main factor of off-page Optimisation is link building.  one must build links to get more visitors on the page. Building link means sharing your pages' links on other pages of social media and also on different websites where your website's link can be placed, this method makes you get noticed and help you to get traffic from there.
