How Long Will It Take To Rank My Website?
Hi thanks also for the prompt reply... SEO is very subjective and the answers are not easy sometimes so bear with my long explanations... haha...  Nobody can tell you exactly how short or long the process will take. Why? Because we have no control over Google. With the new "Google Caffiene" having been activated world wide back in early June, It's a whole new ball game, they've changed up everything dynamically and that makes the process of rankings just a little more difficult to estimate at least at this time.
We were lucky in that the process that we use to rank ourselves and our clients maintained a solid foundation and everyones' rankings were affected just a little, where other SEO company's actually lost all or most of their #1 page rankings and it was devastating to many SEO's out there and their clients, but they won't admit that to their clients or new ones.

We always hope that we have a short amount of time 2-8 weeks for top rankings. Depending on your COMPETITION for the search term phrases you want done, will determine usually how difficult or easy it may be.

Most SEO people will also not tell you or even recognize that we are entering the 4th quarter or more commonly known as the holiday season, everyone is gearing up for rankings for the holidays. Many businesses, slacked off during the main year because of the economy and wanted to throw the advertising funds toward the 4th quarter high sales potential. However, we found that the businesses that maintained their seo rank standings all year long, are going to enjoy a more firm position for the 4th quarter and not have to spend as much to stay there while all the others that wait until the "Last Minute" are going to actually spend more to try to reach, pass and rank over others already in position there.

Your particular situation may be just that... We have to get you to the number one page by passing many others in your industry just so you can rank properly. So how long that takes will simply depend on how saavy your competition is and how much effort and money they've spent on their rankings as well... I hope this all makes sense...
Doing impressive reports on your site is eye catching and looks and feels impressive as well, but the bottom line is even with those reports, they cannot tell you how long it will take to rank.

Our process is very simple, we research the most popular keyword terms (search term phrases) people are most likely to use when searching for what you have to offer.

All Searches are based on a "Past 30 Day Period" From Google.
Example: "Belly Dance Artist" only 320 searches
Example: "Belly Dance Instructor" 1300 searches
Example: "Belly Dance Instructors" 720 searches
Example: "Belly Dance Performer" 170 searches
Example: "Belly Dance choreographer" 0 ZERO searches

By typing in a search term and seeing the results if you don't know what you're really looking at, you can be misled to think that there are a lot of people searching for your services and/or products, when in fact you WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY how many SEARCHES are being conducted for that search term... like above.
Who would have guessed that no one searches for Belly Dance Choreographer... This is just an example of what we do to determine the correct process of moving forward with your ranking campaign. There's still a lot more I could explain but this is enough for now... More questions.. just ask or lets chat on the phone if you wish Again, Apologize for the lengthy relpy... Thanks, Rich .
