How Long Does Search Engine Optimization SEO Take?

To get organic traffic from SEO typically takes between 3-6 MONTHS. What TYPE of content, how OFTEN and targeted KEYWORDS are the variables.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the process of creating digital content so that a search engine will list it on the first page of a search engine result.

Digital content can be in the form of a blog post, a video, infographic, white paper or case study.

The goal for any website owner or YouTube channel owner is to get web traffic from search results. Getting traffic without paying for ads is called organic traffic, and it is the result of great SEO.

Be warned…SEO is a long term process.

Getting on the first page of Google search results is a marathon, not a SPRINT.

There are over 3 FACTORS that will determine how long before you see results.

1. Type of Content.

The most common digital content created is usually blog posts or videos.

The BEST type of content to create are blog posts, period. Each post gives you the chance to answer EVERY type of question your target audience is asking.

They act like additional pages on your website. They also increase your chances of Google included your website in a search (the ultimate goal).

Before you start blogging, make sure your blog is optimized for search. You need to make sure your blog is “search engine friendly“.

Once you do that, we suggest using the BEST artificial intelligence content creating service. This will save you a TON of time deciding what and how to create content. The money you spend on this service will be one of your best SEO investments.

The second best type of digital content is video. More people are searching on YouTube and watching that is why you MUST have a YouTube channel.

You don’t need to hire a videographer. If you have a decent camera phone you can make videos good enough for YouTube.

We think Camtasia is the best video editing tool out there. You can take a video and add graphics, background music and B-rolls etc so that it looked you hired a professional.

You need to have a content creating strategy though.

Each video needs to be made for a SPECIFIC SEARCH. The title of the video needs to match that search. The description of the video should also state what the video is about. This is YouTube SEO.

If you don’t want to do it yourself, hire the BEST YouTube Channel manager.

TIP: Create a video for YouTube that has the same title of a blog post. Embed that video in the blog post to INCREASE your SEO ranking. The title of the video and blog post MUST match.

2. How Often You Create Content.

A great strategy for SEO is to publish frequently and with a schedule.

Typically we will post AT LEAST one blog post and video per week.

DO NOT post a bunch of blog posts and videos at once and then stop.

This is probably the biggest mistake most people make when attempting SEO.

Google and YouTube need to see consistencyto determine your SEO ranking.

YouTube needs to see how viewers react to a video you post. If you post a bunch at once, the YouTube algorithm cannot determine which video they should suggest to other viewers.

The KEY POINT: Post on the same day, even if it is just once a week.

3. What Keywords or Keyphrases You Target

Search engine optimization starts with identifying what your target audience is searching for. You can do this by simply typing in Google searches around your product or service.

You need to know EVERY possible combination that a search is asked.

We strongly suggest trying to get found for LONG TAIL KEYWORDS FIRST.

A long tail keyword is more like a phrase. Instead of best yoga leggings, you should try to get ranked for best yoga leggings for pregnant women. When add you add that additional qualifier you reduce the number of possible searches but you INCREASE the chance of getting found.

Once you start getting ranked for those long tail keywords, Google will then start to include your site for other searches around yoga leggings.

We recommend Semrush for keyword research and online ranking.

TIP: Search for keywords and keyphrases that have HIGH search and low competition.

You would rather be on the first page of a lower searched keyword than on the 50th page of higher searched one.
