ON-PAGE SEO

Every page tuned so it can rank.

On-page SEO is the page itself: what it says, how it is structured, how well it answers the search. Usually the fastest ranking gain there is. We do not sell it as a service. This page is how we do it on our own sites, and what our writers work to.

01 — Why it matters

Why on-page work pays back fastest.

Most sites already rank somewhere for the terms that matter. Page two, position fifteen. The traffic is within reach; the page just is not the best answer.

Fixing that needs no new authority. It is the first thing we do before spending on links.

01

Intent before keywords

Look at what ranks and what the searcher wants, and build the page to match. One page per job: competing pages get merged, overloaded pages get split.

02

Structure that reads

Titles, headings and sections in an order a reader and a crawler can follow.

03

Links and schema that earn something

Pages that need to rank get linked from pages that already have authority. Schema added where it can win a rich result, not sprayed everywhere.

SERP snippet preview: see your title before Google rewrites it

Google truncates on pixel width, not character count, which is why a 58-character title full of capitals still gets cut. Type yours in to see the live preview, the real pixel width, and the on-page checks that decide whether the snippet gets used at all.

  • Title lengthWithin the limit.
  • Keyword placementKeyword appears early in the title.
  • DescriptionGood length and it earns the click.

Why Google rewrites titles anyway

Google replaces roughly a third of title tags in the results. It usually happens when the title is truncated, when it is stuffed with the same keyword repeated, when it is identical across many pages, or when the H1 on the page describes the content better than the title does. The fix is almost never a longer title — it is a title that matches the query and the page at the same time. Get the rest of the page right with on-page SEO, then check the page is not competing with another one of yours.

Pixel widths are measured in your browser against Google's desktop rendering. Mobile truncates earlier, so leave headroom.

02 — How it works

How an on-page pass runs on one of our sites.

The output is a prioritised list with the copy already written, so changes ship without another round of briefing.

01

Inventory and shortlist

Every indexable page, its keywords and its traffic. Then the pages just outside the positions that earn clicks, ranked by what a fix unlocks.

02

SERP analysis

What is ranking, and what those pages have that yours does not.

03

Rewrite, ship, measure

New titles, headings, copy, internal links and schema, ready to paste. Publish, then track page by page for a few weeks.

03 — Markets & audiences

What actually gets changed.

On-page is a long list of small things. These move the needle most often.

01

Titles and meta descriptions

Written for the click. Often the single fastest win.

02

Headings and content depth

The sections a top page is expected to have, in the order readers expect.

03

Internal links, media and accessibility

From your strongest pages to the ones that need to rank. Alt text, image sizing, markup that helps users and crawlers.

Cannibalisation

Two pages, one keyword

Neither wins. Pick one, redirect the other. We find this on almost every site.

Content gaps

What the top results have that you do not

A section-by-section comparison, turned into a brief.

Templates

Fix once, apply everywhere

On large sites, fix the template and every page improves at once.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about on-page SEO and what changes we make.

What is on-page SEO?

Everything on the page that affects whether it ranks and gets clicked: title, headings, copy, internal links, images, structured data.

How quickly will I see results?

Pages on page two often move within two to six weeks of a rework. The authority is already there.

Do you write the new copy?

If you order it as content, yes. Ready to publish, with internal links and any schema we recommend.

Will you implement the changes on my site?

No. We do not work inside other people’s sites. Content arrives as a document your team can ship in an afternoon.

How do you decide which pages to work on?

By opportunity. Pages just outside the click-earning positions, ranked by the traffic a fix unlocks.

What is keyword cannibalisation?

Two of your pages competing for the same search. Neither ranks well. Pick one, merge or redirect the rest.

Is schema and structured data worth adding?

Where it can earn something, yes. FAQ, product, review, article, organisation. Not where it has no chance of showing.

Does this work on a large site?

Yes. Fix templates, not pages, so one change improves thousands of URLs.
