What is on page SEO
Want to rank higher on search engines with your WPBakery page builder? On page SEO is your go-to strategy!
On Page SEO is exactly what it sounds like - implementing search engine optimisation techniques on your web pages. It’s everything that’s happening on your site - content, code, elements.
What are some of the on-page elements you can optimise? (Don’t let this list overwhelm you, POP makes this easy, even for a beginner)
- Meta Title
- Meta Description
- Headings and subheadings H1-H6
- URL slug
- Image optimization
- Keywords
- Content aligned with Search Intent
- Internal Links
- UX and UI
- Website speed
- Mobile friendliness and mobile-first approach
- Accessibility
- Canonical tags
- Schema implementation
What on page SEO is not?
Everything that you do off your pages - duh. That includes link building, PR, social media, citations, reputation management, and more.
it's not just about cramming your content with keywords. WPBakery SEO isn't only about adding new elements to your page. Instead of overstuffing your site with engine optimization jargon, focus on what actually matters. It's not about buying a pricey license or relying solely on an SEO plugin. Search engines are smarter than that! WPBakery SEO doesn't mean ignoring your theme’s design either. Also, it's not about skipping custom elements that enhance user experience. Successful SEO WPBakery means balancing content and technical tweaks to ensure search engines love your site!
That doesn’t mean you should only do On Page, and forget about link building. On page is a great foundation, mainly because it’s totally within your control.

In this tutorial, you will be using a combination of both WPBakery and POP to do your SEO.
When it comes to optimizing your WPBakery page builder for search engines, PageOptimizer Pro (POP) makes it a breeze. Whether you’re new to WordPress or a seasoned pro, POP's easy integration with the WPBakery page builder elevates your SEO game, making it an indispensable tool for digital marketing and seamless site management.

What is POP?
PageOptimizer PRO (POP) is a powerful SEO tool that helps you optimize your site quickly. If you're using the WPBakery Page Builder, you're in luck because POP works seamlessly with it.
POP takes the guesswork out of creating web pages for search engines such as Google. Just input the ‘keyword’ or phrase you want to rank and let POP create an easy to follow SEO plan for your WPBakery, but I’ll be showing you the step-by-step.
Why use POP?
Wondering why you should use PageOptimizer PRO (POP) with WPBakery Page Builder?
⚠️You do not HAVE to use POP for your on page SEO. But in my opinion, you should.
POP is a game changer for WPBakery SEO. It uses an advanced algorithm to calculate precisely what the winning competitor pages in Google are doing to win their on page SEO and get top Google rankings.
POP will score your page out of 100, against your top Google competitors and then create a perfect content ‘recipe’ for your page.
It will then help you create or update the page content in a best-practice, SEO manner.
If you use POP and follow the instructions it is almost guaranteed you will start to see an increase in impressions, ranking keywords and traffic to the page within a few weeks.

If you do not want to use POP, I would advise you to place your ‘keyword’ or phrase into the H1 and the Title of the page and preferably in the URL too. I call this the ‘quick & dirty SEO method’. However, this is a bare minimum approach, it’s not scientific and I can not guarantee it will help your traffic.
"Super motivating!"
"My website is just a couple of months old, so it’s in the sandbox period. I had written an article about a phrase related to sales using memberships. The first attempt at the article was nowhere near the first 5 pages on Google; in fact, I could not find it at all though it had been indexed. I ran the article through POP and it had a score of 15%. I decided to rewrite the entire thing and scored 87%. Within two days of rendering, I found my article ranking #2 for the same phrase. This is super motivating!"

- You have 3 options to choose from when it comes to content generation - POP AI Writer can optimize and rewrite the currently written word count (page length), it can create new, optimized content for the target word count (recommended), or you can select a custom word count.
![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64411827fb2895af9819c89b/664dbd999976b533c58418a1_Group%202612.webp)
- There are 6 steps you need to complete to get to the AI Writer finish line.

- Select the target word count and then click “Next”.
- Now you’ll be in “Rich content” section where you can add suggestions for bold terms, italic terms, images, lists, forms, frequently asked questions, and table of contents. Add the quantity of the chosen components and click “Next”.
- Now you can choose your competitors that AI will use as inspiration for writing your optimized content.
![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64411827fb2895af9819c89b/664dbe8332d54f1d9468c164_Group%202628.webp)
Additionally, below the competitors, you can write the tone of your content, the author, and put your brand name in. Click “Next”.
- In the Page title area you can choose if AI should rewrite your titles or not.
- In our case, our “Orange Chicken Recipe” did not have a Page Title so we can’t use the first option ‘Use my title for AI inspiration’. We will choose competitors’ titles for AI inspiration. Click “Generate”.
![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64411827fb2895af9819c89b/664e52f1e1a4f2a7c9c94cf5_Group-2641.webp)
- Generate sub-headings (H2s and H3s) in the Sub-headings section. You can choose to keep them as is when working on a page that already has them.
- We encourage you to adjust your H2 and H3 subheadings here until you are happy with them. These will form the outline for your page content.
- In the Main content area you can choose AI to rewrite the existing text on your page or to let AI generate new original text. You can also supply POP AI with examples of the text you would like to see on your own page. You can for instance copy paragraphs from your own or a competitors site. POP AI will re-write them to make them original, and optimize the SEO at the same time.

- Click “Generate Main Content”. This step takes less than 5 minutes.
- Now you can ‘Check the Optimization Score’. You should see the score improve to close to 100. This means your page is now SEO optimized.
- Download your optimized content piece. You have 4 options: Plain text, html.txt, .html, and docx.
