How to do on-page SEO and technical SEO

What is On-Page SEO and Technical SEO?

On-Page SEO, also known as On-Site SEO, refers to optimizing webpage content and structure to better meet the needs of search engines and users. The main elements involved include title tags, meta descriptions, content, internal links, URL structure, etc. By optimizing page elements, search engines can better understand page content and improve rankings. Technical SEO focuses on optimizing the backend and technical elements of a website, making it easier for search engines to find, crawl, understand, and store website content.

For example, we can improve the user experience on the website by optimizing page loading speed, mobile friendliness, etc. Doing these two SEO optimizations well can help improve the website's search engine ranking, increase traffic, and improve User Experience, which can significantly improve the overall SEO performance of the website. However, due to the meticulous and tedious work in these two aspects, and the fact that they will be updated with the development of network technology, professional technical teams or products are needed to execute them. QuickCreator not only has unique characteristics in content generation, but also provides comprehensive support for these two aspects of work in the process of page generation.
