Why is on page optimization important?

There are two ways of optimizing a website: on-page and off-page optimization. What we will be discussing more is the first one.

On-page optimization is important because it deals with on-the-page factors that are critical to the overall efficiency and effectivity of a website and once these factors are fully optimized, this will contribute to an increase in web visibility and thereby outdoing other less search engine-friendly websites.

On-page optimization includes keyword marketing, tuning the pages, optimizing site structure, website submission and auditing and improving the website.

• Keyword Marketing – you should determine your target audience and select the best and appropriate keywords related to your products and services. It is not advisable to use generic terms because they are highly competitive thus, getting more specific is the best approach. Targeted keywords will most likely generate targeted traffic and high conversion rate. You should also think of keywords that have a high number of daily searches but with low competition without compromising the relevance.

• Tuning the pages – this enumerates the things that we can do to achieve and retain high rankings such as using simple and clear coding that can be easily read by search engines, regularly updating your relevant and keyword-rich content, making sure that all links on the site are working and improving the structure of HTML elements such as page URL, TITLE tag, META tags, HTML headings, link text and alt attributes of images.

• Optimizing Site Structure – create a sitemap

• Website Submission – you can submit your site to different search engines and directories for free or resort to paid directories and pay-per-click advertising.

• Auditing and Improving the Website – focusing on web usability and web visibility issues. Web usability refers to the ease of use and convenience of the website while web visibility determines whether the source code of the website meets the standards of the search engine spiders.
