“Good things come to those who wait”
You probably didn’t like the adage you yelled at on the long road trips you took as a kid.As an adult trying to grow your business, you probably don’t like it any more. You have invested time and money in your business and can’t wait forever to get a return.
If you’re considering SEO, you should make a mental commitment to commit to the process for at least a year. But the good news is, as Mom said, the long journey will be worth it in the end.
Why does good SEO take so long?
First, it’s not like a year later the switch is flipped and all of a sudden it’s raining money. You’ll see progress well before the year is up, but until then you likely won’t monetize it. Congratulations — your website has leapfrogged 60 other websites. Unfortunately, most searchers don’t go beyond his second page. So, while you’re making progress, you can’t monetize your SEO until you reach the first page.
Like any good recipe, there are steps to follow, and sloppiness can have disastrous consequences. These steps are:
• Website Audit: Website audits let you see what works well with SEO and what doesn’t. This on-page SEO audit requires an analysis of your site’s page speed, mobile readability, and readability.
• Competitive analysis: Dive into the strategies your competitors are using (a good SEO company can help with this too). What works for them? How can I do better? It’s important to find your competitor’s weaknesses and exploit them.
• Keyword research: There is a science to identifying good keywords. I don’t want words that no one searches for appearing on the first page. Also, you don’t want to attract bad leads by targeting phrases that are too broad. Then the SEO should advise how easy or difficult it is to rank for these keywords. It doesn’t necessarily have to be the most competitive or easiest target. There is a sweet spot between high search volume and low competition. After all, he is better at converting 10 out of 10,000 targeted visitors than he is at 0 out of 10,000 untargeted visitors.
• Content strategy: Keywords mean nothing if you don’t know how to support them in your content. This includes blogs, graphics, videos, guest contributions, SEO press releases, and more. A good her SEO provider creates a very specific roadmap to align content with audience buyer intent and avoids random her SEO content shotguns.
• Content Creation/Distribution: Generating all this content takes time, and it takes time to deliver it. Once distributed, Google will have to find it and decide what to do with it. SEO is no longer the keyword stuffing game it once was. It’s about Google recognizing you as an authority and long-term contributor in your field and rewarding you accordingly. Quality over quantity.
Can’t you just try it for a few months and quit if it doesn’t work?
Sure, but it will leave you with little to show for what you’ve done so far.The value of SEO is consistency. As you continue to add well-optimized content to your website, Google will notify you and its spiders will start crawling your site more frequently.
Likewise, this consistent content encourages users to visit your site more often and tells Google that users are having a positive experience. Google rewards this with higher rankings. Consistency is his SEO secret sauce, and each piece of content and user engagement is built to last.
Will I start seeing results in less than a year?
absolutely! I always prepare my clients to commit to me for at least a year, but mostly because of transparency and honesty. But I have seen many quick victories. Here are some examples:
Client 1 – Online Retail: After investing just $22,500 in SEO over nine months, this client’s SEO brought in an additional $245,000 in sales, $164,000 more than the same period last year. Not a bad return on investment.
Client 2 – Dog Groomer: This client said nothing had changed to market their business, but new prospects were pouring in. As part of an optimization strategy, we migrated their website from Wix to WordPress. and gave it a little extra… ‘umph’ with improved page speed and improved calls to action. In just 3 months, 17 keywords reached #1 ranking. Many words jumped him to the top spot on pages 6, 7, and 8.
Client 3 – Personal Injury Attorney: After several major SEO efforts, the law firm experienced a steep rise just months after launching its campaign. The timing was perfect, as Google was making one of its major algorithm updates aimed at weeding out low-quality websites and scammers. We didn’t cut corners or tread into the gray areas of online marketing, and this client took the top spot with 130 keyword ranking lifts in his one week. The update overwhelmed some of its competitors, but they turned into juggernauts.
It’s not just big companies. Even small people win big. Some mom-and-pop went from 150 her website visitors per day to 800 to 1,000 per day in a matter of months, turning the family-owned business into a major local employer. changed to
If you’re tired of your ad accounts closing or your paid ads drying up, SEO is for you. It produces the best return on investment and is above all sustainable. You’re building your own website (an asset you own) and not lining the pockets of major tech companies. If you’re willing to invest a little patience, SEO builds on itself until you have an unstoppable online presence.
