Abstract:

This thesis aims to conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of the influence of on-page and off-page SEO strategies on website ranking and subsequent business outcomes. Focusing on the prominent e-commerce platforms i.e. Carrefour UAE, and Dubizzle, in the competitive market of the United Arab Emirates, the study explores the correlation between SEO optimization, search engine rankings, and overall business success. Preliminary findings indicate that all these websites, Carrefour UAE, and Dubizzle, exhibit high levels of SEO optimization, reflected in their elevated search engine rankings. The research begins by delving into the intricacies of on-page SEO, examining factors such as keyword optimization, content quality, and user experience. Simultaneously, the study investigates off-page SEO elements, including backlink profiles, social signals, and brand mentions, to evaluate their impact on search engine algorithms and rankings. The thesis seeks to decipher whether this optimization directly contributes to their robust business outcomes, as evidenced by sustained high annual revenue. By understanding the nuanced interplay between SEO tactics and business success, this research aims to provide actionable insights for businesses seeking to enhance their online presence and competitiveness.
