One of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to SEO is about the duration of the process:
How long will it take to see results? The answer to this question depends on your website. Before we begin working together, we will take a look at your website using our technical tools. Begin your journey with PinkSEO today with a complimentary site audit. We will provide you with our findings and an estimate of how long it might take to achieve first-page rankings. This estimate is influenced by four key factors:
|
Let’s look at each of them in detail…
Importance of the age of your website for SEOIf your website is new, it will take longer to see results. Google needs time to “trust” new websites, a process known as building domain trust. This is similar to when a new business opens and customers need to determine if it’s reliable. Google will place new websites in a “sandbox” where rankings are dampened until the website has existed for a few months. |
Link Building and Increasing Organic TrafficAnother factor that affects domain trust is the number of backlinks to your website. Backlinks are links from third-party websites to your site. The more high-quality links you have pointing to your site, the more trust you will establish with search engines, and the more likely you are to see a faster increase in organic traffic. A new website will naturally have nearly no incoming links, so acquiring valuable ones will increase domain trust and shorten the time spent in the sandbox, provided that these links are coming from highly trusted and non-toxic websites Even if your website has been around for a while, it may not have performed well with SEO in the past. If it doesn’t have any backlinks, it will take longer to see results. |
We will take a look at your backlink profile together and share with you a clear recapitulation of the quantity and quality of the links you have, your domain authority, and the timings we can consequently expect.
Different types of platforms and SEO goalsThe last factor that affects the duration of the SEO process is the type of platform your website is on and the type of goals you have. If your goals are more attainable, like local rankings or niche keywords, it will be easier to achieve them. If your goals are more global or competitive, it will take longer. DIY web builder websites can make it harder for SEO providers to fix technical issues and rank for competitive keywords. |
Timing Expectations for SEOYou may have heard that on average, it takes between 6 months to a year to start seeing some good first-page rankings from your website with the typical kind of SEO efforts. However, as said above, this can vary depending on the age of your website, the quality of your backlinks, and the type of platform and goals you have. The more attainable your goals are, the sooner you can expect to see results from your SEO efforts. We will give you a more detailed estimate when we take a look at your website. Keep in mind that SEO is a long-term strategy and it takes time and effort to see success. While you may not see immediate results, your SEO work will pay off in the long term. It’s important to be patient and persistent and to continuously monitor and adjust your strategy as necessary. |
