Link Building Basics

Familiarize yourself with the concepts of link building, which is the primary focus of off-page SEO, and see how it brings value to your overall SEO strategy.

Off-page SEO and link building

Different from on-page and technical SEO, off-page SEO involves activities carried out outside the scope of our website to rank higher in search engines. Many people consider link building synonymous with off-page SEO. However, link building is not what off-page SEO is all about. Off-page SEO goes beyond link building and encompasses strategies such as content marketing, social media shares, local SEO, and more.

Nonetheless, building links is the most important element of any off-page SEO strategy.
