There are two types of optimizations involved with SEO: on-page and off-page. On-page SEO are the aspects you can control, such as content and website code. Off-page SEO refers to the actions that take place outside of your site but affect your site's authority, such as back links and social signals (shares, likes, comments). The goal of both on-page and off-page SEO is to make your site more trustworthy to users and search engines.
