SEO is a long-term process. With proper planning, you can create an SEO strategy that can bring you desired results.

Searchmetrics contributor Jan Grundmann has published an article answering this important question ‘How Long Does SEO Take?’.

He says, “How long does SEO take to show results? What does Google say? And what factors impact how effective SEO measures are? This article provides some of the answers to these questions.

What factors determine how long SEO takes to work?

Whether a page can make Google’s Top10 or not depends on a number of factors. The first distinction that is made is whether your SEO is for an existing domain or whether the SEO is for a new website that you’re hoping to get into Google’s top rankings. Whatever the case, there are a number of key points that may affect how successful your SEO is:

  • Technical basis: There can’t be any crawlability and indexability issues; the sitemaps and robots.txt have to work properly. A good technical basis with good page load times and a stable server is crucial to get good rankings. Just as important are internal links — the relevant pages of a domain should be easy for the crawler to reach, ideally directly from the homepage.”
