Timing and SEO - when to expect results?

One of the most frequently asked questions when starting SEO work is when will the first results appear? There is no clear answer to this question, since much depends on the initial state of the site, competition in the niche and the amount of work. However, there are certain guidelines that allow you to more or less accurately predict the timing of obtaining visible results.

At the beginning of work, it is difficult to give an accurate forecast, but after a month, when part of the semantic core has already been collected, competitors have been researched and the site has been analyzed, you can begin to give more realistic estimates. Still, there are certain time frames that are most often voiced by contractors.

It usually looks like this:

• The first results are seen in 2-3 months.
• The tangible result is visible after 6-8 months. As a rule, if the project goes without problems, then in the period from 6 to 10 months traffic from search engines can double if the site has already received traffic and was promoted before.
• Then everything depends on the amount of work and budget. For example, if to implement a project it is necessary to create 300 landing pages of 3000 characters each, and if the topic is not particularly complex, then with the popular tariff you can prepare up to 20 pages per month. This means that it will take about 15-16 months to complete all the work, including technical corrections and indexing, and about 20 months to fully achieve the desired result. In this case, the site can receive 70-80% of commercial traffic from the top 10 in its niche.

If a company does the work of creating only 10 pages per month, then it will take almost 3 years to achieve the same results.

This is why it is so important to clarify the key points in advance at the presale:

• How many requests will be processed monthly;
• How many landing pages will be optimized;
• How many additional pages are planned to be created on the site (at least approximately).

Practice shows that if a project is not much inferior to competitors in terms of usability and marketing aspects, then the first tangible results can be seen 2-3 months after completion of work on the commercial section of the site. However, it is important to understand that for commercial requests, often after they are processed, it is worth paying attention to information requests, and here traffic growth can be much slower.
