Common search engine FAQs answered by experts

What are the main types of SEO (on-page, off-page, and technical)?

The three main types of SEO are on-page SEO, off-page SEO, and technical SEO, and they work together to help your website show up for the searches that bring calls, form fills, and booked appointments.

Think of it like this: on-page is what you say and how you say it on your pages, technical is whether Google can access and understand your site cleanly, and off-page is the trust you earn from the rest of the web. For Orlando and Central Florida businesses, this mix matters because you are usually competing with dozens of nearby options, and Google is trying to pick the most relevant, most trusted result for that searcher in that moment. If you want hands-on help, our SEO services cover all three areas so your site is built to rank and convert.

TypeWhat it coversCommon examplesWhat it usually impacts most
On-page SEOContent and page elements that signal what a page is about and help visitors take actionTitles and headings, service page copy, internal links, image alt text, FAQ sections, location and service area clarityRelevance for a query, click-through appeal, and conversions once someone lands
Technical SEOSite infrastructure that affects crawling, indexing, speed, and usabilitySite speed and Core Web Vitals, mobile friendliness, HTTPS, XML sitemap, robots.txt, canonical tags, redirects, schema markup, broken linksWhether pages can be found, loaded fast, and interpreted correctly
Off-page SEOSignals outside your website that show credibility and popularityBacklinks from local news or partners, directory citations (NAP consistency), reviews, brand mentions, Google Business Profile activityTrust and authority, especially in competitive local markets like Orlando

In practice, most local businesses see the fastest lift when the three are handled together: you publish clear service pages (on-page), your site runs clean and fast (technical), and you build steady trust signals like reviews, citations, and a few real local links (off-page). If one piece is missing, results often stall. For example, great content will not carry a site that is slow or hard to crawl, and a technically perfect site will still struggle if your service pages are thin or your business has weak trust signals online.
