The terms On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO or search engine optimisation ( optimization ) describes the two different SEO methods web designers use in order to make a website more appealing to search engines like Google. Although they both have their own elements, both of which play a vital role in the placement / ranking of your website within the search results.

On-Page SEO forms the platform for any Off-page SEO Promotion Campaign.

Without any doubt, search engine optimisation forms an integral part of the website design process and should therefore not be underestimated.
