What is Off Page SEO?

Off-page SEO refers to all the actions taken outside of your own website to improve its rankings in search engine results. While on-page SEO deals with content and structure on your site, off-page SEO is about building your site’s authority, trust, and relevance in the wider web.

Key Off-Page SEO Activities#

Tactic Description
Backlinks Getting links from other websites to yours. High-quality, relevant backlinks are one of the strongest ranking factors.
Social media Sharing content on platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc., to increase visibility and potential for backlinks.
Guest blogging Writing articles for other sites that link back to your own.
Influencer outreach Collaborating with influencers to promote your content or brand.
Brand mentions Being talked about online—even without a direct link—can help with SEO.
Local SEO signals Listings on directories like Google Business Profile, Yelp, and local citations.
Forum & community engagement Participating in niche forums, Reddit, Quora, etc., with relevant value-adding content.

Why Off-Page SEO Matters#

Search engines like Google use off-page signals to determine:

  • How authoritative your site is
  • How popular or valuable your content appears across the web
  • How trustworthy your domain is

It’s essentially about reputation building on the internet.
