How long does it take to see results from SEO work?
“The SEO strategy that you are proposing seems very good to me. When will we see our site in the first position on Google results? This question, we encounter it eight out of ten times, after presenting a content and SEO optimization strategy to our clients. This question, by the way, is quite legitimate, since everyone expects everything to go very quickly on the Internet. Also, our clients, like any serious site owner, have goals to achieve. So it's only natural for them to worry about when their SEO strategy will start producing results.
If the question is legitimate, the answer is somewhat complex…
Agree, SEO work generates immediate results, since it uses new content, a better organization of the pages of a site. Nevertheless, the majority of businesses want visible long-term results and almost all entrepreneurs aim for the first page of major search engines. So, how long does it take to see the results of a work of SEO referencing ?
In this section:
How long after starting SEO should you wait to see results?
How quickly you will see your site generate results, after you start SEO work, depends on several variables.
The initial traffic, the way the site was built, the age of the domain name, the meta tags, the geographical location of the site, the state of the competition and the target market are all elements (there are more!) that affect how quickly you can get search engine traffic from your SEO.
In general, you should expect to obtain results after 4 to 6 months of serious and regular SEO..
4 to 6 months? But it's an eternity!
Yes and no. Ok, you're in a hurry, you have a lot to say, products to sell and visibility to ensure. This does not mean that your site will remain invisible during this period. Moreover, we are not talking about immediate results, knowing that in terms of natural referencing, the results increase over time. The traction you will get on your site after six months will be enough on its own to boost, if the SEO work is done well, the traffic coming from search engines to your site.
How to accelerate the results of your SEO work?
As you can see, many factors determine how quickly your SEO efforts start producing results. If you have just launched a new website, with a new domain name and fresh content, without any history, it may take some time. It will take six months to see the first results of your SEO work. For this type of site, there is an unstoppable method to not only ensure that the results after six months will be convincing, but also that your site will be noticed on the search engines… perhaps even before this period. To get faster SEO results, you need to post content as regularly as possible. But not just any type of content!
The content that will impact the speed of the first SEO results of your site must meet the following requirements:
- Your content will be of excellent quality
- Your articles will be substantial (2000 to 2500 words each, in addition to shorter articles)
- The content will contain the relevant keywords studied upstream
In terms of SEO, success does not come by itself… You have to know how to start it. Excellent quality content will quickly make your site very popular, whatever the field of activity that concerns you.
SEO: a long-term investment
SEO work is one of those “grateful” tasks that do not generate immediate results and which, for most SEO consultants, require well-founded arguments in order to convince website owners. Without having to look into technical details, we must understand that the results of a site are an exact reflection of the SEO work carried out upstream. The deeper the SEO work is done, the longer it is done, the better the results will be.. To fully understand this, to also understand what to work on, you have to understand what SEO is.
Search engine optimization, SEO work is not a one-time job. It is not enough to concentrate on a small group of keywords generic ones that your potential visitors will probably never find.
