SEO is a process, a process that involves many factors required to be successful. When the right techniques are implicated both on and off your website your site WILL climb the ranks in popular search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing.
How Long Will It Take My Website to Rank?
This is the most common question site and business owners have as well it should be. There are quite a few different factors that play into the time-table of getting your SEO campaign to start returning results.
For Brand New Sites
First off, if you are starting with a brand new site and domain (www.yourbusiness.com) don't expect to rank for any COMPTETITIVE keywords for at least 8-12 months. Does that mean your site won't pull any traffic for 8-12 months? No. You will find that ranking for competitive keywords is nice but it will not be the major factor that drives traffic to your site.
Established Domain Names
What I mean by established domain names is having your "www.yourbusiness.com" for a minimum of 1 year and anything on top of that is even the better. Google places a lot of emphasis on TRUST. Would you trust a business that just started up last week or one that has been around 5 or even 10 years? It's an obvious answer and Google works much the same way. Does this mean they (established domains) will always outrank a newer domain? Not at all. With the CORRECT SEO TECHNIQUES the sky is the limit but time will play a factor, without question. So in terms of domains, new sites are OK, older sites are better. Just make sure your expectations are reasonable.
But I've had SEO Companies GUARANTEE #1 Results For My Business? Can You Do That?
Short answer, no. I never have and never will guarantee placement in search engines on any site I have worked on and if any so-called SEO Company will do that you should run for the hills. Google is constantly changing their algorithm and although some changes may not be as apparent as others, there is no one (other than Google Engineers) who know exactly what it takes to rank. This entire industry is 100% based on speculation and testing to see what brings them success and those ideas are incorporated as "What SEO Strategies Work". In the end, you cannot guarantee something that you cannot control and to do that is unethical to say the least.
So How Do I Know How Good an SEO Company Is?
Easy, ask for references. Good old fashioned research will be the best factor here. If an seo company will provide you with real examples of sites they get to rank in COMPETITIVE VERTICLES then more than likely they know what they're talking about. I highlighted competitive verticles because so many seo's will provide examples of sites they worked on that rank well for such off topic or long-tail key phrases it's ridiculous. Be smart here and do your research, it could end up saving you thousands of dollars in the long run.
