While search algorithms and ranking factors are constantly changing, the general consensus within the SEO community is that the relevance, trustworthiness, and authority that effective off-page SEO affords a website still play a major role in a page’s ability to rank.

Building backlinks is at the heart of off-page SEO. Search engines use backlinks as indications of the linked-to content’s quality, so a site with many high-value backlinks will usually rank better than an otherwise equal site with fewer backlinks.

There are three main types of links, defined by how they were earned: natural links, manually built links, or self-created links.

Natural links are editorially given without any action on the part of a page owner. For example, a food blogger adding a link to a post that points toward their favorite produce farms is a natural link.

Manually built links are acquired through deliberate link-building activities. This includes things like getting customers to link to your website or asking influencers to share your content.

Self-created links are created by practices such as adding a backlink in an online directory, forum, blog comment signature, or press release with optimized anchor text. Some self-created link-building tactics tend toward black hat SEO and are frowned upon by search engines, so tread lightly here.

Non-link-related off-site SEO:

While earning links from external websites is the most commonly practiced off-page SEO strategy, almost any activity that

a) Occurs outside of your own website and

b) Helps to improve your search ranking position could be thought of as “off-page SEO.” These include things like:

• Social media marketing
• Guest blogging
• Linked and unlinked brand mentions
• Influencer marketing

Long Does SEO Take:

Many SEO firms will tell you that it takes 4 to 6 months to start seeing results. That’s generally accurate, but bear in mind this is when you start seeing results, and SEO results grow over time. Whatever results you’re getting at 6 months should be considerably less than what you’re getting at 12 months.
