Why Exactly Does SEO Take So Long?

So it takes us a while to run a campaign and do it right.  Which if it took us 3 weeks you still have a minimum of 15-45 days until Google sees what we have done.  Which is why most SEO agencies say "you will start seeing a return in about 6 months".  Some things can be done that Google will see right away such as website changes, Schema, and on-page SEO optimization.  Links are what takes the longest for Google to see, some agencies will use an indexer to speed up this process.  That sounds great, right?  Faster is better, no not in this case because the way indexers work is they create a bunch of low-quality links to your links.  This brings down the value and is un-natural, it's much better to just wait for Google to index them.  We do another method to get our links indexed faster, which is why we say at minimum of 15 days.

 How Long Does It Take To Implement SEO?

 Typically to see good SEO results, you should be doing consistent work and depending on competition, industry, and area you will see start to see a return on your investment in about 3-6 months.  Now if your in a low competition market or you have been around for a long time then usually takes around 2-3 months.  There are a lot of variables but if you want a more accurate time, reach out to us.

Does SEO Have To Take So Long?

We have taken businesses to the front page in less than 30 days so SEO doesn't always have to take so long.  But generally, it does take time and patience.  A lot of business owners don't have the budget, patience, or knowledge to achieve success with SEO.  However, a lot of business owners see the value and stick it through and when we keep them in the loop they can see that it clearly is working and we are moving the needle.  Why does SEO take so long, well it doesn't always and 1-3 months really isn't that long to start seeing a return.  

 

I Want Faster SEO

Yes, don't we all!  As I previously mentioned we do index the links with a special strategy thus getting results even faster.  Even using this method takes time and patience.  Sometimes it takes more time due to who you hired, inexperienced, mimicking other people's strategies and how can you beat a competitor when your SEO agency is just copying them?  You need an experienced SEO Agency that has its own strategies and is willing to discuss their plan of action and exactly how they are going to help your business.

TESTIMONIALS

What People Are Saying

Nate has been with me for a while and always does what he says he can do. I started with him with Local only and he immediately got me to the top for 2 major keywords. Then he took over my SEO and this was the miracle, for the same 2 keywords which had been ranking anywhere from 5-9 on page one he took one to the top and one to the second position

Alan Horowitz

Just wanted to leave a testimonial for Nate’s Local SEO services: I’ve been working with Nate now for around 6+ months. He has managed to rank numerous clients in the map pack and provide a good white label solution for a lot of my clients.

John Shea

I just wanted to vouch for Nate. I have been purchasing his map services for probably about 3-4 years now. I found him originally on WF and now we talk weekly on Skype. As someone who owns a large agency (30+ people) and has been in the industry for over 10 years, I can tell you Nate is a one-of-a-kind guy.

Gerrid Smith

Hey everyone,
I just finished my first month of service with Nathan and I can tell you this man is great. He's done everything he promised and then some. He's given me my end of the month report and I can see the benefits of his services. I will definitely continue to use Nathan and would recommend everyone else to try him out.
