It is difficult to say how many different types of SEO there are. We can identify three different approaches to SEO:
1 - A white-hat approach is what Web Design London uses and it’s based all around using wholesome methods to improve the visibility of your website.
2 - A black hat approach is where SEO experts try to manipulate the search engine algorithms to make your website rank higher. At Web Design London we avoid this approach to SEO.
3 - A grey hat approach is somewhere in the middle. It’s not quite as bad as black hat approach but isn’t as ‘clean’ as white hat either. Again, our approach is to try and stay away from breaking the search engine rules.
Another way to categorise SEO practices is to divide it into:
- On-page SEO where the optimisation occurs on the website itself.
- Off-page SEO where optimisation is done outside of the website, e.g. via link building.
