What is off-page SEO?

Off-page SEO, also known as off-site SEO, is an important aspect of search engine optimisation. With off-page SEO, you can improve the findability of your website in search engines, zonder making direct changes on the website itself. Instead, you focus on external factors that affect your website's ranking in search results, such as links from other websites to your website.

Why is off-page SEO important?

Off-page SEO helps search engines determine how valuable your website is by looking at the number of external links from other websites and the quality of those links. Search engines like Google use this information to determine the relevance and authority of your website, which in turn affects how high your website appears in search results.

Besides improving your search engine rankings, off-page SEO can also help increase your online presence and generate more traffic to your website. This can lead to more leads, customers and sales.

Strategies for off-page SEO

  • Linkbuilding
    Link building is one of the most important strategies for off-page SEO and involves actively trying to get links from other websites to your website. This can be achieved by guest blogging, writing high-quality content that others want to share and participating in online communities.
  • Social media marketing 
    Social media signals such as likes, shares and retweets can help build your online presence and generate more traffic to your website. By being active on social media, you can also build a community and strengthen the connection with your target audience.
  • Online reputation management
    Online reputation management involves monitoring and managing your online reputation by responding to online reviews and feedback. By building a positive online reputation, you can build trust with your target audience and strengthen your brand.
  • Ethics and consistency 
    It is important to stress that obtaining high-quality links from other websites to your website is a process that takes time and effort. It is crucial to use off-page SEO in an ethical manner and avoid practices such as buying links or using black-hat SEO techniques, as this can harm your website's ranking in search results.

Difference between on- and off-page SEO

On-page SEO refers to all the techniques and optimisations carried out on the website itself to improve search engine ranking. This includes using relevant keywords and phrases in the content and meta tags, optimising images, improving page loading speed and optimising the internal links and structure of the website.

Off-page SEO, on the other hand, refers to all activities that take place outside the website to improve search engine ranking. In particular, this includes obtaining links from other websites to yours and technical optimisation opportunities.

The main difference between on-page and off-page SEO is that on-page SEO is about optimising the website itself, while off-page SEO focuses on external factors that affect the website's ranking in search results. However, both are important for a successful SEO strategy and should be used together to improve the website's findability.

Digital content manager Peugeot

Whether it's about content or technical adjustments, it doesn't matter. Martijn briefs this in a very clear way so that it can be implemented locally or by our head office in France. [...] Since the start of our collaboration, we have achieved great results. Keep it up!

Marien van Stegeren

Eigenaar Kitcentrum

When your online onder venture grows, expectations often grow too, in every area. To a large extent, we were in control of SEO and its interpretation ourselves. We found out that our own "general view" was no longer sufficient, so we engaged Bureau Onder. Surprising and clear. We have built up a fine collaboration, partly because Martijn also regularly visits our office with Eline or Mariska (depending on the case), which is very valuable to us!

Marten Stellingwerf

Webmaster

Martijn and Mariska make the SEO story understandable for the layman and are happy to think along with us. It is nice that there is a personal contact moment every month with an extensive report and the opportunity to talk everything through. After just a few months, Onder has already managed to achieve number 1 positions on Google with some of our webshop pages. We are very satisfied with Onder.

Mark Prummel

SEO Specialist Stella Fietsen

For several years, Onder has been a valued partner of Stella. Martijn is my sparring partner for complex SEO issues and the extra pair of critical eyes that keeps us on our toes. Together, we have achieved nice growth in online visibility, visitor numbers and leads. Onder onder stands out for its short lines of communication and professionalism. They speak our language: don't nag, get down to business. That is what we love!
