The three kinds of SEO are:

- Off-page SEO – Anything which happens away from your website that helps with your SEO Strategy- Backlinks.
- Technical SEO – Anything technical undertaken to improve Search Rankings – site indexing to help bot crawling.
Let's look into these in more detail and show you how StudioHawk helps you with all of them.
What is on-page SEO?
The short answer is all the copy on your web pages which help you rank. SEO tuned blog content, title tags, image alt-tags, internal links between relevant content.
Google still looks for keywords on your website to match the search queries it runs. From its white paper on “How Search Works”, and our article on what SEO is and how it works.
“Next, algorithms analyze the content of web pages to assess whether the page contains information that might be relevant to what you are looking for.
The most basic signal that information is relevant is when a webpage contains the same keywords as your search query. If those keywords appear on the page, or if they appear in the headings or body of the text, the information is more likely to be relevant. Beyond simple keyword matching, we use aggregated and anonymized interaction data to assess whether search results are relevant to queries. We transform that data into signals that help our machine-learned systems better estimate relevance”
StudioHawk has an article on how you can improve your on-page SEO.

What is Off-Page SEO?
Off-Page SEO strategies are actions taken away from your website. Things we can do for you where we're not changing the content on your pages.
The biggest component of Off-Page SEO would be backlinks. This is where external websites, which are relevant to your business and have a good Page Authority, put a link on their site which leads back to you. Through this process Google transfers some of their Page Authority to your website, hence raising you up Google's SERP.
Other off-page SEO can include:
- Social Media Marketing.
- Guest Blogging.
- Brand Building.
If you have great content but no rank then you can lose out to similar pages as you that DO have rank.

What is Technical SEO?
Russ Jones from Moz says "Any sufficiently technical action undertaken with the intent to improve search results"
Technical SEO can include indexing your website in such a way that it is easier for Google's web bots to crawl and index your site.

More technical SEO can include reducing the image file size on your site (technically on-page SEO), so your webpage loads faster.
It also includes optimising your website for mobile use. Google is rather keen on this metric for page rankings now since so many people are using mobile devices to search and navigate the web.
