How long does it take for a website to start ranking high in google?
With New domains it does take time for the website to start ranking for major keywords, usually you can expect 12 months but you can start ranking for less competitive keywords much earlier.
This website was registered ”Creation - Date: 03-Feb-2008″ and being an effective SEO specialist i managed to get the site in first positions locally, for example i targeted search terms such as “SEO specialist Norwich”, “SEO specialist Norfolk” plus more search terms I’m targeting but what i achieved was to get the website available to people in my local area.
Now the site is maturing not only do i find the website ranks high locally but now I am making steady progress nationally. Now what you have to keep reminding yorself is, where do you want to be in the end. SEO is a long range, long term project so with this in mind I’ve been heading in the right direction. By heading first page results for progressively more difficult search terms and aiming for the ultimate term of “SEO” which is my main long term target.
Client’s have to understand that when starting out to obtain top rankings it take lots of hard work, everything you do has to be better that your opposition or competitors but first you have to catch up with what work they have done.
Every day that is wasted the further you will be behind in the race, delaying the process could in fact mean the there will be some search terms that will be far beyond your reach if the companies that already hold these high positions keep upping the anti with their desire to beat the competition around them.
So if you simply understand to be a top cat ranking highly in the search engines, be prepared for the long road ahead, and if anyone tells you it’s easy and can be done for a bag of peanuts be prepared for the disappointment and don’t forget that if your competitors are doing it right you are just falling further behind.
