Once you know who are your competitors and what strategies they are applying on their website, then keyword research comes. Keyword research and analysis is one of the major analysis in market research. This is because you have to find the relevant keywords as well as your competitor’s keywords.

On-Page optimization only includes the facts that are applied to your website internally. Here are some of the facts included in On-page Optimization:
Keyword placement: Once you research the keywords, the placement comes. The placement of the keywords means to use the keywords in your content that looks naturally fit.
Site friendliness: The structure of the site is also the fact of the SEO because the search engine always recommends using a friendly layout for your website for better surfing. The crawlers easily scan your website for ranking on an easy layout.
Mobile Friendliness: The majority of the eCommerce users use the mobile to shop online and, in this regard, you should have a responsive layout that is compatible with your mobile too.
Snippets: The snippets are the section that appears on Google when a user searches a query. This includes the Meta Title and Description while it should have your primary keywords.
Internal Linking: The internal linking is the link that is placed in your article but it refers the traffic to another page or post. To provide the maximum experience to the user, the search engine always tries to provide the whole information from your website instead of sending the user to another website to find the required information.

4.   Content optimization

Content optimization is one of the most important things in Search engine optimization. This is because SEO is dependent on the content that you made. Your SEO is not successful until you produce quality content for your website.

Quality content

Quality content means writing the content according to the topic and your audience. For this, you should write the content by knowing what the audience likes to read on your website and in the product description.

The off-page SEO is compulsory because it generates the reference for your site to the search engine. Search engine when checks more backlinks and references then it would give your more ranking on the search engine. The more you have backlinks, the more chances you have to rank over your competitors.
Off-page SEO is quite sensitive because you need to care when taking backlinks. The natural backlinks are always the best because artificial or paid backlinks are always considered illegal and the search engine may punish the site.
If you are buying or getting the backlink through blog commenting. It wouldn’t give a good impact on the search engine.
