1. What is SEO and how does it work?

The race to appear on the first page of search engines has become extremely competitive as online behavior has increased. To remain competitive in the online world, a company must implement SEO.

8. What do you know about web crawling?
Web crawling is the process by which a web crawler (spider bot/spider/crawler), also known as an internet bot, browses the World Wide Web in order to index it. It visits pages via hyperlinks and copies them for processing and indexing by the search engine, allowing Internet users to search more quickly and efficiently.
9. Do you know about Googlebot?
Googlebot is Google’s web crawler. It finds, crawls, and indexes web pages.
10. What is search engine submission?
The process of submitting your website to search engines in order for it to be crawled and indexed is known as search engine submission. Even though search engines are intelligent enough to find and index your website, it is recommended that you proceed with the search engine submission because you will have the opportunity to submit some useful information about your website from your end, and the search engines will alert you if potential errors exist on your site.
11. What is SERP?
SERP stands for search engine results page. This is the page where users see all the results of their queries on search engines.
12. Can you explain the difference between organic and paid results?
Organic and paid results are both types of search results on SERPs that are displayed based on quality and relevance to the user query. Organic results do not pay to appear on SERPs. It is extremely difficult to rank high organically, and SEO is required.
Paid results necessitate keyword bidding, and they are positioned above organic search results on SERPs based on the Max CPC (cost per click) and quality score. The higher your score, the less money you’ll have to pay.
13. What are on-page SEO and off-page SEO?
On-page SEO is used to improve website performance by optimizing meta tags and descriptions, page title, URL structure, keyword density, body tags, internal linking, images, and so on.
Off-page SEO activities include things like guest blogging, reverse guest blogging, press releases, social networking, and so on. These are done away from the website in order to promote and increase its visibility.
14. Have you heard of Google Sandbox?
While the existence of Google Sandbox has long been debated, Google has not directly addressed the issue. It is assumed that new websites go through a probation period before appearing on SERPs. This filter is also thought to be influenced by two important factors: the active age of a domain and keyword competitiveness. If the search frequency for the used keyword is high, the filter will most likely be activated for anti-spam purposes.
15. What is a domain name?
A domain name is an address on the Internet from which Internet users can access your website, and it includes web addresses, email addresses, and Internet Protocol addresses. It is essentially a link to the server that hosts your website.
To visit a website without a domain name, one must enter the full IP address. IP addresses are numerical labels that are inconvenient to use on a regular basis.
A domain name consists of two main components:
- The name of the website (e.g.,digitalcrave)
- The extension of a domain name (e.g., .in)
16. What is a URL?
URL is an abbreviation for Uniform Resource Locator. It is the full URL of a web page or document on www. A URL is made up of the following components:

- String query: Dynamic data parameters
- Hash: A specific section of a web page
17. What are SEO-friendly URLs?
URLs that are easily understandable by both search engines and users are SEO-friendly URLs. They will typically include keywords, and they are mostly self-explanatory and future-proof so that they will not become obsolete over the years).
18. What is web hosting?
Web hosting is the www equivalent of buying a property. Web hosting companies will provide you with space to build your website. The server will have to be connected to the Internet for this hosting purpose.
19. What is DA?
Here is another commonly asked SEO interview question. DA or domain authority (a metric developed by Moz) is a search engine ranking score, which ranges from 0 to 100. The score predicts how well a website will rank on SERP. The higher your DA, the better chances you have at ranking higher.
20. Explain the difference between DA and PA.
While DA (domain authority) explains the authority of your entire website, PA (page authority) describes the authority of a specific page based on quality backlinks, social sharing, etc. The DA requires more time and effort than PA, but the former is more worthwhile in the long run. However, both are mutually beneficial.
21. What is TLD?
Top-level domain (TLD) is the final extension of an Internet address, for example, .com, .net, .org, .co.in, etc.
22. What is ccTLD?
In SEO, ccTLD, also known as the country code top-level domain, is a domain extension reserved for a country and has two characters. Here are a few examples for ccTLD: .it for Italy and .in for India.

- Moz
- Ahrefs
- Sprout Social
26. Distinguish between a do-follow link and a no-follow link.
Unless otherwise specified, all hyperlinks are do-follow links by default. When search engine crawlers discover a link, they crawl the page and pass the link juice as a quality vote. Dofollow links from high-authority sites will help a site rank higher in SERPs because they are high-quality backlinks.
Nofollow links are coded in such a way that search engines do not crawl or count them as quality votes. You can use this when you want to link to third-party websites on your website without giving those sites authority.
27. What is SEO writing?
The usage of keywords and key phrases within a website’s content is known as SEO writing. This helps increase the organic visibility of the website on the SERP.
28. Explain keywords.
Keywords are words or phrases users on the Internet use to find relevant results to their queries. They are also known as search queries. Figuring out potential keywords and using them in your website content can help you get a better ranking by search engines.
29. What is keyword frequency?
The number of times a particular keyword appears in a web page content is called keyword frequency. While the appropriate keyword frequency can optimize your website, using them excessively can quickly become a case of keyword stuffing.
30. What is keyword difficulty?
Keyword difficulty gives the measure of how difficult it is to get ranked for a particular keyword based on its high usage.
31. What is keyword proximity?
The distance or proximity between two keywords within a body of text on a web page is called keyword proximity. If the keywords are closer to each other in a phrase, the phrase will carry more weight.
32. What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the ratio or percentage of keywords used on a specific page. Around 3 to 4 percent is considered best practice.
33. What is keyword stuffing?
Keyword stuffing is considered to be a form of the black-hat SEO method. Increasing the keyword frequency to rank for specific keywords is generally frowned upon and could get your website penalized.
34. What is keyword stemming?
Google algorithm’s ability to identify different word forms on the basis of a particular word in a search query is called keyword stemming. This is done by adding prefixes, suffixes, pluralization, etc.
35. What is keyword prominence?
Keyword prominence shows the prominent placement (on the header, in the opening paragraph, at the start of a sentence, in meta tags, etc.) of keywords within a web page.
36. How many keywords should you use on a page?
It is good to have three primary keywords and some secondary keywords, but it shouldn’t look unnatural within the content, and the number of keywords to be used depends on the content length, page flow, keyword difficulty, etc.
37. What are long-tail keywords?
Keywords can be made into a more specific combination of several words. These are called long-tail keywords. Long-tail keywords can be very specific and, hence, can be good for attracting quality traffic from people who are interested in that specific search query, and they are more likely to transform this kind of traffic into conversions.
38. What is NAP?
NAP (name, address, phone number) helps search engines to identify the list of businesses to be displayed for location-based searches.
39. Define the bounce rate.
Get ready to face this important SEO interview question. The bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who exit the website from the landing page without visiting any other pages or without any activity. It is the ratio of a single-page session to all sessions on a website.
Advance Questionnaire for SEO
40. What are header tags?
HTML header tags are used to highlight the headings (h1 level) and the subheadings (h2–h6 levels) within the content of a web page. These tags are also called header tags or heading tags. If you skip from h1 to h3, the hierarchy will be broken, and it is not advisable for on-page SEO. Every page should possess only one h1 tag unless it is using HTML5, which allows for more.
41. What are meta titles and meta descriptions?
Meta titles (page titles) and meta descriptions are two different pieces of the HTML code, which are important when you are creating a web page. Much like the back-cover blurb of a book, these elements will tell users the title of the page they have landed on and will give them the summary of that page when it shows up on SERPs. This gives the users an idea of what your page is all about and whether it will be relevant for them to visit your website.
Moreover, web browsers use the meta titles in the browser bars so that it is easy to distinguish between different tabs of different pages if the users have opened multiple tabs in a session. The page titles are also used when people bookmark a web page for future reference.
42. What are internal links?
Internal links are hyperlinks that connect one web page to another web page in the same domain.
A well-planned internal linking structure can help users navigate the website without any confusion. It is a good practice to keep every important page within two-three clicks from the home page.
43. What are inbound links and outbound links?
Inbound links are links coming from another domain to your domain.
Outbound links are links going out from your domain to another domain.
Keeping a few outbound links to high-authority sites may be helpful, but excessive outbound links could hurt your SEO. So, you need to make sure to use no-follow links to avoid passing on the link juice.
44. What are backlinks?
Inbound links are also known as backlinks and are links coming from another domain to your domain.
45. What are anchor texts?
Anchor texts are used by search engines to understand the context of the web page to which it is linking. The clickable text in a hyperlink is called an anchor text. See the below example:
46. What is robots.txt?
Robots.txt is a text file that instructs web crawlers about the pages on your site to crawl or not to crawl.
47. Explain the robot’s meta tag.
Robots meta tags (or robots meta directives) provide a granular approach on how to crawl and index a page’s content, for example, FOLLOW, NOFOLLOW, INDEX & NOINDEX, etc.
48. What is 301 redirect?
301 redirect helps redirect users and search engines from an old URL to a new one. 301 redirect passes most of the link juice from the old page to the new page.
49. What is Google Search Console or the Webmaster tool?
Google Search Console (previously known as Webmaster Tool) is a free service by Google that allows users to monitor the health and visibility of their websites. It offers the following insights:
- A confirmation that Google can find and crawl a site
- Troubleshooting indexing issues

- Alerts and notifications about spam, indexing problems, or other issues
50. What is image alt text?
A search engine cannot understand an image or what it is about. So, to give it an idea, the image alt text helps. It is an HTML attribute. If for some reason, the image is unable to be displayed on a browser, one can read the alt tags and understand what the image is about. It even optimizes the image for image searches and can be a Google ranking factor as well.
51. What is forum posting?
Forum posting is one of the off-page SEO techniques. You can join a forum and create a thread, interact on an existing one, and engage with other users to have online discussions about topics. This is a good way to backlink to your site.
52. What is referral traffic?
Referral traffic is the visits that you get from uncrawlable websites like getting traffic from a link within an email or social media.
53. What is PPC?
This is again a common SEO interview question. Pay-per-click or PPC is an advertising model in which an advertiser pays the publisher when the ad is clicked. This helps drive traffic to your website, and you only pay when users click on your ad.
54. What is CTR?
Click-through rate or CTR is the ratio of users who click on a specific link to the number of total users who view it on a web page or other medium. This is yet another popular SEO interview question.
55. What is EMD?

58. What is an HTML sitemap?
This is again a sure-shot SEO interview question. When on a page all the subpages of your website are listed, it is called an HTML sitemap. It is helpful for the navigation of big websites with a lot of subpages. Generally, HTML sitemaps are placed in the footer of websites.
59. What is a sitemap in SEO?
It lists the web pages and the frequency of updates. It is also called an XML (extensible markup language) sitemap and is meant only for search engines. Through this, the search engines will know that they are supposed to crawl and index the important pages frequently.
60. Explain LSI keywords.
LSI (latent semantic indexing) keywords are the keywords that Google sees as semantically related to the topic. Most SEOs see them as related words and phrases.

If a website is found guilty of keyword stuffing, cloaking, link exchange, link farming, PBN, buying links, link hiding, using doorway or gateway pages, etc., then it gets penalized.
63. What is Google Penalty?

Cloaking and redirecting pages are forms of doorway pages.
68. What does E-A-T mean?

Marketing on the Internet
Marketing professionals can use any marketing that uses electronic devices to convey promotional messaging and track its impact on your customer journey. Digital marketing, in practice, refers to marketing campaigns that appear on a computer, phone, tablet, or other devices. Online video, display ads, search engine marketing, paid social ads, and social media posts are all examples. Digital marketing is frequently contrasted with “traditional marketing” methods such as magazine advertisements, billboards, and direct mail. Surprisingly, television is frequently grouped with traditional marketing.
What is Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing, also known as online marketing, is the promotion of brands through the use of the internet and other forms of digital communication to connect with potential customers. This includes text and multimedia messages as a marketing channel in addition to email, social media, and web-based advertising.
Digital marketing vs. inbound marketing
For good reason, digital marketing and inbound marketing are frequently confused. Many of the same tools are used in digital marketing as inbound marketing, such as email and online content, to name a few. Both exist to capture prospects’ attention and convert them into customers throughout the buyer’s journey. However, the two approaches have different perspectives on the tool’s relationship.
Digital marketing takes into account how each tool can convert prospects. A brand’s digital marketing strategy may include multiple platforms or focus entirely on one. Inbound marketing is a comprehensive concept. It considers the goal first, then examines the available tools to determine which will effectively reach target customers, and then where in the sales funnel that should occur.
The most important thing to remember about digital marketing and inbound marketing is that you don’t have to choose between the two as a marketing professional. They actually work best together. Inbound marketing provides structure and purpose for effective digital marketing efforts, ensuring that each digital marketing channel works toward a common goal.
Digital marketing for businesses versus marketing for consumers
Digital marketing is effective for both B2B and B2C businesses, but best practices differ significantly between the two. B2B clients have longer decision-making processes, resulting in longer sales funnels. These clients respond better to relationship-building strategies, whereas B2C customers respond better to short-term offers and messages.
Business-to-business transactions are typically based on logic and evidence, which skilled B2B digital marketers present. B2C content is more likely to be emotionally driven, with the goal of making the customer feel good about a purchase.
B2B decisions frequently require the input of more than one person. Marketing materials that best influence these decisions are typically shareable and downloadable. B2C customers, on the other hand, prefer one-on-one interactions with a salesperson.
Different types of Digital Marketing
As many specializations exist in digital marketing as there are ways to interact with digital media. Here are a few concrete examples.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is a marketing tool rather than a type of marketing in and of itself. According to The Balance, it is “the art and science of making web pages appealing to search engines.”
What matters most in SEO is the “art and science” component. SEO is a science because it necessitates researching and weighing various contributing factors in order to achieve the highest possible ranking. Today, the most important factors to consider when optimising a web page are as follows:
- Content quality
- Its User engagement
- Mobile-friendliness
- The number and quality of inbound links
SEO is a science because of the strategic use of these factors, but it is an art because of the unpredictability involved.
There is no quantifiable rubric or consistent rule for ranking highly in SEO. Google’s algorithm is constantly changing, making precise predictions impossible. What you can do is closely monitor the performance of your page and make adjustments as needed.
Content marketing, a strategy based on the distribution of relevant and valuable content to a target audience, relies heavily on SEO.
The goal of content marketing, like any other marketing strategy, is to attract leads who will eventually convert into customers. But it does so in a unique way compared to traditional advertising. Rather than enticing prospects with the potential value of a product or service, it provides value for money free of charge in the form of written material
There are numerous statistics that demonstrate the importance of content marketing:
- 84 % of customers expect businesses to create entertaining and useful content experiences.
- 62 % of companies with at least 5,000 employees create content on a daily basis.
- 92 % of marketers believe that content is an important asset to their company.
Content marketing, no matter how effective it is, can be difficult. Content marketing writers must be able to rank high in search engine results while also engaging people who will read, share, and interact with the brand further. When the content is relevant, it can help to build strong relationships all the way through the pipeline.
Social Media Marketing
By engaging people in online discussions, social media marketing can increase traffic and brand awareness. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are the most popular social media marketing platforms, with LinkedIn and YouTube close behind.
Because social media marketing involves active audience participation, it has grown in popularity. It is the most popular content medium for B2C marketers (96%) and is gaining traction in the B2B sphere. The Content Marketing Institute reports that 61% of B2B content marketers increased their use of social media this year.
Social media marketing includes built-in engagement metrics that can help you understand how well you’re reaching your target audience. You get to choose which types of interactions are most important to you, whether it’s the number of shares, comments, or total website clicks.
Your social media marketing strategy may not even include direct purchase as a goal. Many brands use social media marketing to engage audiences rather than immediately encourage them to spend money. This is especially common in brands that cater to older audiences or provide products and services that are inappropriate for them. Impulse purchases It all depends on the objectives of your company.
Pay-Per-Click Marketing
Pay-per-click, or PPC, is the practice of placing an ad on a platform and paying for each click. It’s a little more complicated how and when people will see your ad. When a spot on a search engine results page, also known as a SERP, becomes available, the engine fills it with what is essentially an instant auction.
An algorithm prioritizes each available ad based on a number of factors, including:
- Ad quality
- Keyword relevance
- Landing page quality
- Bid amount
Each PPC campaign has one or more target actions that viewers should take after clicking an ad. Conversions are these actions, which can be transactional or non-transactional. Making a purchase is a conversion, but so is signing up for a newsletter or calling your home office.
Whatever conversions you choose as your target conversions, you can track them using your preferred platform to see how your campaign is performing.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing allows people to earn money by promoting the products and services of others. You could be the promoter or a business that works with the promoter, but the procedure is the same.
It operates on a revenue-sharing model. If you are the affiliate, you will receive a commission whenever someone purchases the item that you have promoted. If you are the merchant, you pay the affiliate for each sale they assist you in making.
Some affiliate marketers prefer to review only one company’s products, perhaps on a blog or another third-party site. Others have multiple merchant relationships. The first step, whether you want to be an affiliate or find one, is to connect with the other party. You can either start or join a single-retailer program or use a platform designed to connect affiliates with retailers.
There are many things you can do as a retailer to make your program appealing to potential promoters if you choose to work directly with affiliates. You must provide those affiliates with the tools they require to succeed. This includes incentives for excellent results, as well as marketing assistance and ready-made materials.
Native Marketing
Native advertising is essentially marketing in disguise. Its goal is to blend in with the surrounding content, making it less obvious as advertising. Native advertising was developed in response to today’s consumers’ cynicism toward advertisements. Knowing that the ad’s creator pays to have it run, many consumers will conclude that the ad is biased and will ignore it.
A native ad avoids this bias by first providing information or entertainment before moving on to anything promotional, thus minimizing the “ad” aspect.
It is critical to clearly label your native ads. Use words like “sponsored” or “promoted.” If those indicators are hidden, readers may spend a significant amount of time engaging with the content before realising its advertising.
When your customers know exactly what they’re getting, they’ll trust your content and your brand more. Native ads are intended to be less intrusive than traditional ads, but they are not intended to be misleading.
Automation of marketing
Marketing automation is the use of software to power digital marketing campaigns, increasing advertising efficiency and relevance.
Statistics show that:
- Personalization appeals to 90% of US consumers as “very” or “somewhat” appealing.
- 81 % of consumers want brands they interact with to better understand them.
- Although 77 % of businesses believe in the value of real-time personalization, 60 percent struggle with it.
Marketing automation enables businesses to meet the growing demand for personalization. It enables brands to:
- Collect and analyse consumer data
- Create focused marketing campaigns.
- Send and post-marketing messages to the appropriate audiences at the appropriate times.
Many marketing automation tools use prospect engagement (or lack thereof) with a specific message to decide when and how to contact them next. With this level of real-time customization, you can effectively create an individualized marketing strategy for each customer without investing additional time.
Email marketing
The idea behind email marketing is straightforward: you send a promotional message and hope that your prospect clicks on it. However, the execution is far more difficult. First and foremost, you must ensure that your emails are desired. This entails having an opt-in list that performs the following functions:
- Individualizes the content in the body as well as the subject line
- Indicates clearly what type of emails the subscriber will receive.
- An email signature that includes a clear unsubscribe link
- Combines transactional and promotional emails
You want your prospects to perceive your campaign as a valuable service, not just a marketing tool. Email marketing is a tried-and-true technique in and of itself: 89 % of professionals polled said it was their most effective lead generator.
It can be even better if you incorporate other techniques, such as marketing automation, which allows you to segment and schedule your emails to better meet the needs of your customers.
The Advantages of Digital Marketing
Digital marketing has grown in popularity because it reaches such a large number of people, but it also has a number of other advantages. These are just a few of the advantages.
A large geographic reach
When you post an ad online, people can see it regardless of where they are (assuming you haven’t restricted your ad geographically). This makes expanding your company’s market reach simple.
Cost-effectiveness
Digital marketing not only reaches a larger audience than traditional marketing, but it also costs less. Newspaper ads, television commercials, and other traditional marketing opportunities can have high overhead costs. They also give you less control over whether your intended audiences see those messages at all.
With digital marketing, you can create just one piece of content that will draw visitors to your blog for as long as it is active. You can set up an email marketing campaign to send messages to specific customer lists on a regular basis, and you can easily change the schedule or content if necessary.
When all is said and done, digital marketing provides significantly more flexibility and customer contact for your ad spend.
Quantifiable outcomes
To determine whether your marketing strategy is effective, you must first determine how many customers it attracts and how much revenue it ultimately generates. But how does one accomplish this with a non-digital marketing strategy? The traditional approach is to ask each customer, “How did you find us?”
Unfortunately, this does not apply to all industries. Many businesses do not have one-on-one conversations with their customers, and surveys do not always yield accurate results. Monitoring results in digital marketing is simple. Digital marketing software and platforms automatically track the number of desired conversions, whether they are email open rates, home page visits, or direct purchases.
Easier personalization
Digital marketing allows you to collect customer data in ways that traditional marketing cannot. Data collected digitally is far more precise and specific.
Assume you provide financial services and want to send out special offers to people who have shown interest in your products. You know that targeting the offer to the person’s interests will yield better results, so you plan two campaigns. The first is for young families who have looked into your life insurance products, and the second is for millennial entrepreneurs who have thought about their retirement plans.
Without automated tracking, how do you collect all of that data? How many phone records would you have to review? How many customer profiles are there? And how do you know who read or did not read the brochure you distributed?
Increased customer interaction
You can communicate with your customers in real-time thanks to digital marketing. It also allows them to communicate with you.
Consider your social media strategy. It’s fantastic when your target audience sees your most recent post, but it’s even better when they comment or share it. It means more buzz about your product or service, as well as increased visibility with each new participant in the conversation.
Customers benefit from interaction as well. As they become active participants in your brand’s story, their level of engagement rises. That sense of ownership can foster strong brand loyalty.
Conversions that are simple and convenient
Customers can take action immediately after viewing your ad or content with digital marketing. The most immediate result you can hope for with traditional advertisements is a phone call shortly after someone views your ad. But how often do people have time to contact a company while doing the dishes, driving down the road, or updating records at work?
With digital marketing, they can immediately move along the sales funnel by clicking a link or saving a blog post. They may not make a purchase right away, but they will stay in touch with you and give you the opportunity to interact with them further.
Growth is generated by digital marketing.
Digital marketing should be a key component of almost any company’s overall marketing strategy. Never before has it been possible to maintain such consistent contact with your customers, and nothing else can provide the level of personalization that digital data can. The more you embrace the possibilities of digital marketing, the greater your company’s growth potential will be realised.
