On-Page-SEO
What is included in the On-Page SEO package?
This package includes complete optimization of your website’s internal elements — including keyword placement, meta tags, high-quality content review, image optimization, mobile responsiveness, internal linking, page speed improvement, and more.
Why is On-Page SEO important?
On-Page SEO helps search engines understand your website’s purpose and content. It improves your visibility on Google, attracts more organic traffic, increases click-through rates, and enhances the overall user experience.
Does this include keyword research and placement?
Yes. We identify relevant, high-traffic keywords and strategically place them throughout your page — including in the title tag, headings (H1–H3), meta description, image ALT text, and the body content.
What is a meta tag and why is it important?
Meta tags include the title tag (headline in Google results) and meta description (the summary shown below). Optimizing them with keywords and compelling text helps increase visibility and encourages more users to click through to your site.
Will my content be reviewed or improved?
Yes. We assess your existing content to ensure it is high-quality, unique, informative, well-structured, and free of duplication or spam. Suggestions or rewritten examples may be provided for better performance.
Do you optimize images?
Absolutely. We rename image files with descriptive names, add keyword-rich ALT attributes, and compress images to improve page loading speed and SEO accessibility.
Is mobile optimization included?
Yes. We ensure your website is mobile-friendly, responsive across devices, and passes Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test — crucial for SEO and user retention.
What about page speed improvements?
We provide specific recommendations for speeding up your website, such as minifying CSS/JS files, enabling browser caching, optimizing images, and using a Content Delivery Network (CDN) if necessary.
Will HTTPS (SSL) security be checked?
Yes. We verify whether your site has an active SSL certificate and loads over HTTPS — a Google ranking factor and a trust signal for users.
What kind of linking strategies are applied?
We assess and optimize both internal and external links:
Internal links improve SEO structure and help users navigate your site.
External links to credible sources increase content trustworthiness.
Do I need to give you access to my site?
Not necessarily. In many cases, we provide clear written recommendations and instructions. If implementation is needed, secure access can be arranged upon request.
How long does it take to complete On-Page SEO?
Most optimizations and reports are delivered within 3–5 business days, depending on the scope of your website.

Off-Page-SEO
What is Off-Page SEO?
Off-page SEO refers to optimization efforts that happen outside of your website — such as backlink building, mentions, and social signals — to improve your site’s authority, trustworthiness, and position in search engine rankings.
What are backlinks and why do they matter?
Backlinks are links from other websites that point to your website. Search engines treat them as “votes of confidence” — the more high-quality, relevant backlinks you have, the more authoritative your site appears to Google, which can improve your rankings.
What does the Off-Page SEO package include?
You receive 400 high-authority backlinks from websites with an Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) over 70. These links come from blogs, articles, directories, and niche platforms, built using safe, AI-supported outreach and content placement techniques.
Are these backlinks safe and Google-friendly?
Yes. All backlinks are built following Google’s best practices and white-hat SEO guidelines. There are no spammy or black-hat methods used, making the strategy safe and sustainable.
Do I need to give you access to my website?
No access to your website is needed. We build backlinks externally, and everything is handled independently from your website’s code or CMS.
How long does the process take?
The full package of 400 backlinks is created and delivered within 14 calendar days. However, full indexing of these backlinks by Google can take 60 to 90 days, depending on crawl frequency and link type.
Will I receive a report?
Yes. You’ll receive a complete backlink report including link sources, domain ratings, and indexing status.
What kind of websites do the backlinks come from?
We place links on high-authority domains, including reputable blogs, article networks, and niche-relevant platforms. All domains have DR 70+ and are carefully vetted to ensure quality and relevance.
Can this be used for non-English websites?
Absolutely. Our off-page SEO works with websites in any language, making it ideal for global audiences and multilingual SEO campaigns.
Is this suitable for all website types?
Yes. Whether you run an eCommerce store, a personal blog, a corporate site, or a portfolio, Off-Page SEO can strengthen your site’s authority and search visibility.
How often should I order backlinks?
For steady and lasting SEO growth, we recommend ordering a new backlink package every 30 days. This helps build momentum and signals consistent activity to search engines.
Do backlinks guarantee top rankings?
While high-quality backlinks significantly boost your chances of ranking higher, no SEO provider can guarantee specific positions on Google. Backlinks are just one (very important) part of a larger SEO strategy.

Technical SEO
What is Technical SEO?
Technical SEO involves optimizing your website’s backend infrastructure to help search engines like Google efficiently crawl, index, and understand your website. It focuses on aspects such as site speed, mobile usability, URL structure, security, indexing, and structured data.
Why is Technical SEO important?
Without strong technical foundations, even the best content may not rank well. Technical SEO ensures your site is fast, secure, mobile-friendly, and correctly structured, helping search engines find and prioritize your content — all of which directly influence search visibility and user experience.
What is included in the Technical SEO audit?
You receive a detailed review of your website’s:
Crawlability & indexing (robots.txt, sitemap, canonical tags)
HTTPS setup & security
URL structure & schema markup
Core Web Vitals & page speed
Mobile usability
HTML structure & coding practices
Media optimization

Will I get recommendations for fixing issues?
Yes. Each issue detected during the audit is accompanied by clear recommendations, so you or your developer can implement improvements. Optimization tips for performance, code, and structure are all included.
Do I need to give access to my website?
No. The audit is performed externally using advanced tools and best practices. You only need to provide your website URL and a few details. Secure implementation support can be arranged separately if needed.
What tools do you use to assess technical SEO?
We use industry-leading tools such as Google PageSpeed Insights, Google Search Console, Ahrefs, Lighthouse, and SEO auditing software to ensure a comprehensive analysis of technical health.
Does it include Core Web Vitals analysis?
Yes. We measure and report on key Core Web Vitals, including:
First Contentful Paint (FCP)
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Time to Interactive (TTI)
Total Blocking Time (TBT)
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
You’ll receive suggestions for each area that needs improvement.
What is checked under mobile usability?
We test your website’s responsiveness across devices, including viewport settings, font sizes, tap target sizing, and general layout compatibility with mobile standards.
Do you check for structured data and schema usage?
Yes. We analyze your implementation of JSON-LD schema, including general structure and areas like Local Business Schema, product markup, and others that may be missing.
Will my backlink profile be analyzed?
A summary of your referring domains, types of backlinks (dofollow/nofollow), and special domains like .gov or .edu is included to assess overall authority and link diversity.
What if I need help fixing the issues?
While the package includes a full diagnostic report and clear suggestions, technical implementation services are available separately if you’d prefer us to apply the fixes directly.
How long does it take to receive the report?
Your full Technical SEO report will be delivered within 3–5 business days of placing your order and submitting your website details.
