What are the 4 types of SEO?

The 4 types of SEO are on-page, off-page, technical, and local. On-page covers content and keyword targeting, off-page covers links and mentions, technical covers speed and crawlability, and local covers map results.

Some lists swap local for content SEO, but those four remain the main types of SEO in practice. The 4 intents behind searches, informational, navigational, commercial, and transactional, are a separate model people mix up with this one.

For most small sites, on-page is where rankings are won or lost. Exact keyword targeting in the title, URL, and first sentence still outweighs everything else when competition is thin. Technical work matters once, links matter for hard keywords, and on-page matters every single page.
