H1, H2 & Strong tags

Error 404 page optimization
Xml Sitemap
Robots.txt
URL Architecture

Here is the list of off-page SEO activities:

So in this way you can optimize your website with on-page and off-page techniques.

I dont think anyone can answer on this because both are important at their places. On-page SEO focuses on optimizing parts of your website that are within your control, while off-page SEO focuses on increasing the authority of your domain through content creation and earning backlinks from other websites.

Let's break it down. There are two main buckets that search engines look at when evaluating your site compared to other sites on the web. Put simply, what you rank for is largely determined by on-page factors, while how high you rank in the search results is largely determined by off-page factors.

On-page and off-page SEO work together to improve search engine rankings. By working on what you can control today — producing quality content that's supported by high-quality on-page SEO — you'll be well on your way to earning backlinks, improving your domain authority, and controlling your off-page SEO.

Off-page SEO is tremendously valuable because it tells search engines that your website is important to others on the web. ... This lets external sources act as tie-breakers for websites that have the same quality of on-page SEO so search engines know the best to rank websites on search engine results pages (SERPs).

Both seo strategies are helpful to achieve better search engine rankings quickly.

Both activities are important. Through on page, you focus on your website optimise content and through off page, you earn backlinks for your website authority.

George Zlatin of Digital Third Coast summed it up nicely when he wrote that “what you rank for is largely determined by on-page factors, while how high you rank in the search results is largely determined by off-page factors.

Hello,

On-Page and Off-Page are important for website optimisation and ranking in the Google SERP.
On-Page will improve user experience as well as visibility in the Google SERP while Off-Page techniques help to increase website and keyword rankings in the search engine.
