On-page SEO is everything you control on your own website: page titles, headings, content, internal links, images and loading speed. It tells search engines what each page is about and makes it pleasant for visitors to use.
Off-page SEO is how the rest of the web sees you: links from other websites, mentions, reviews and your Google Business Profile. These act as signals of trust.
You need both. Fix the basics on your site first, then build links and reviews steadily. Technical checks such as mobile usability and speed support both.
