Hey guess your website is new and i'm still not seeing a lot of visitors how long
before i can start seeing results from my seo efforts when you're putting all this time and effort
into making your website get to the top you want to see results right away i'm going to break down the question of how long does seo take to work for a new website I'm going to break down the When using a precise formula, seo used to be
simple. of how long does seo take to work for a new website before we get started
- make to the top of page one and in many cases when i started my seo journey back in
- the day you can get a top page one in a few months maybe even six months at the latest
- for head terms that were like auto insurance and credit cards but nowadays
- seo is super competitive there's over a billion blogs on the web that's roughly one blog for every seven people and there's
- even more websites out on the web so when you combine all of that it makes
- sense on why seo is so hard because now google has its prime pickings to figure out
- which website they want to place at top in other words they can be super picky while
- 5 10 years ago they couldn't be as picky so first let's start by seeing how seo has
- changed over the years keyword research this is one of the big areas it wasn't nearly as a competitive market as it used to be
- there are literally thousands of websites if not millions of websites created every
- single day as of january 1st there are over 1.7 billion websites online that's a lot of
- competition it used to be that you can focus on five or six keywords maybe even 10 and
- those keywords would bring in most your site traffic companies used to be able to
- focus on small groups of generic keywords and see great results the reality now is it's a
- lot different websites now must have a list of 50 to 100 keywords or more depending
- on the site and at bare minimum each page on your site is going to need to be targeted
- at least at one keyword however in most cases actually three or four keywords per page now the next thing that's changes
content it used to be that you can simply write an article and implement the
keyword a fair number of times and google algorithm will rank you aka keyword density right the more you put a keyword in your page the more they know about that pages around that topic and then your ring now that doesn't necessarily flow naturally and it didn't really work well for users hence google doesn't look at density the same way anymore google has gotten smarter and they've changed their expectations a bit they're not just looking at a site shoving in the same keyword and stuffing it and ruining the searchers experience they made some big changes to improve their rankings by not showing low quality content as high so now when you're writing content it's not about putting that keyword in there naturally it'll be in there and other synonyms will be which google can tell because think of them as a big dictionary and thesaurus so they'll know what the article is about even if you don't have that keyword in there their main priority is to deliver high quality content and keeping the search intent in mind remember when someone types in a search query it usually is a question right it's not necessarily specifically a question with a question mark but when someone does a google search looking for an answer to whatever they typed in and if your page
does that provides that answer with that
- content you're in the good graces if you
- don't you're not going to do well so don't
- just shove in keywords within your content and write long pieces of article because hey people say google wants a 2 000 word
- article ranked at the top it's not about word count it's about providing what the user is looking for as quick as possible if you give
- that 500 words 2000 words 5 000 words whatever it may be whoever does it in the easiest form for the user without shoving in
- keywords and creating the best experience is who's going to do the well and the best in
- the long run so how long does it take to rank on google well are you ready for this
- the answer is it depends i know it's frustrating right according to forbes the
average it takes for a new site is four to six
months to start seeing some traction in surfs however because there are so many factors in seo there is no definitive answer every industry is different as well it's easier to rank for a plumber in a localized city than it is to rank for auto insurance naturally on average based on my experience even if you're starting a new website and you're actively working on your content on page seo and link building it can take roughly six months before you start seeing results it doesn't mean in six months you're going to rank at the top and get what you want but it usually takes six months to start seeing traction and the best way to start seeing the traction faster is
going after long tail phrases which convert better than head terms so if you want to rank faster there's some important seo factors that you need to know if you want to rank the first thing that we should look at is your site and is it secure and is accessible to google crawlers are you using https is your robots.txt blocking the right pages allowing access to the right ones using a sitemap and submitting it to google
webmaster tools so google can crawl all your pages is your website fast and load time if it's fast not only is it going to boost your rankings because that's a part of their algorithm and you can use google page speed to see how fast your website loads both on mobile and desktop device it'll tell you what to fix as well but mobile speed time and desktop speed time also affect conversions as well the other thing that you need to look at is is your site mobile friendly did you know that over half of searches on google are done by mobile devices if your website doesn't look nice on a mobile device like an iphone or android
device don't expect them to rank it high up the other thing you have to look at is do you
have authoritative content right if you just have me too content it won't cut it google doesn't want the same regurgitated content over and over again they want you to provide something that's unique that people haven't read before every time i blog on something new we're seeing on average 47.6 percent more traffic than when we blog on something that's been regurgitated and is old so in other words try to blog on something that's new that people haven't seen before i know it's frustrating but the world has changed and yes there still is new stuff that people are learning about not everything has been written even though there's over a billion blogs on the web another thing you need to look at is quality backlinks getting links from authoritative sites is one thing but if those sites aren't related you're not going to do as well are you creating an amazing enough
content to attract the right type of links are you creating amazing product and service
to get more links do you know what section of my site gets more links than any others it's actually uber suggests did you know i've generated over 10 000 backlinks alone just through ubersuggest i'm not going out there asking people for links they're just linking to me and it's attracting them another thing i want you to look at is social signals even though social signals have no effect on ranking according to google there is a correlation between pages that rank high and have a decent number of social signals remember google wants to rank pages at the top that people love so if people love a page they're more likely to link to it they're more likely to share it on the social web right they wouldn't just say hey i'm going to link to it but i would never share it they go hand in hand the other thing that you need to look at is do you have your business information listed especially for your local business you need a claim for google my business profile you need yelp reviews google reviews have a good better business bureau page the more reviews you can
attract the better off you are the big takeaway is when you do the right things and you go above and beyond and put the user first you're going to rank faster than if you just try to optimize your page for google please share t
