What is SEO?
SEO has three main areas of concern:
- Technical SEO
- On-page SEO
- Off-page SEO
Addressing these three pillars, will set your website up for Google to understand, crawl and rank your pages. Let’s take a look at what each of these pillars mean in simple terms.
1. What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO is all the backend stuff. All of this is critical to ensuring a website can be easily understood by Google and now AI platforms too. Google essentially crawls your website, which allows it to understand what your business is all about, the types of pages you have, and the type of content you publish. Its main requirement from your site is that it provides value to the user.
Think about it, if someone searches for life insurance companies based in Glasgow, clicks the number one listing on Google, and ends up on a page all about car insurance in London, they will close the site immediately and most likely leave Google altogether.
It is the attention economy. Google wants to provide value = more searches, which = more attention, which = more money for Google.
Beyond this, your site needs to be quick. Everyone’s patience is getting thinner, thanks to short form content like TikTok, so your website needs to load fast and technical SEO directly addresses this.
It also ensures your site works properly on mobile, is secure, and that all of your pages can be easily found and indexed by Google.
Think of technical SEO as laying solid foundations so your website can be found, trusted, and used without friction. Google actively measures this and feeds it back to us through a tool called Google Core Web Vitals. If you have time, find out more here via Google.
2. What is on-page SEO?
On-page SEO focuses on what people actually see and read. This includes your headings, page titles and how clearly your services or products are explained. The best mantra here is keep it clear! Done well, it doesn’t feel like SEO at all, it just feels like a clear, helpful website that answers a users question and builds trust.
3. What is off-page SEO?
Off-page SEO is about your reputation online. Think about it as digital word-of-mouth. The more trusted the voices are that are backing you the more confidence Google will have in your business. A large chunk of this work is called backlinks. Backlinks can come in many shapes and sizes from reviews, local listings and brand mentions to name a few. All of which help show that your business is legitimate, credible and worth ranking.
Great transparency & communication throughout the term of the campaign. Their guidance and experience on ad management and targeting the right audience has reflected in the results we got.”

Linkbuilding
Link building sits under the off-page SEO pillar and focuses on earning links back to your website. These links signal to Google that your business is trusted and authoritative within your industry. Quality matters more than quantity. The higher the authority of the website linking to you, the more trust Google places in that recommendation.
