1. When Will I See Improved Rankings in Google?
The period for ranking your website in the major search engines will be influenced by several factors including the structure of the website before any SEO techniques are applied. A website that has been published for some time and contains a variety of backlinks will be viewed as more reliable by the search engines compared to a new site that requires more work from the ground up.
Websites of a year or two in age will respond positively to optimization strategies in the first month. Major changes in ranking and online visibility may take up to 10 weeks based on the crawling activity of the search engines including the assessment of new websites, and having to index content from scratch.
When you consult with our SEO agents, we will discuss the different factors that will affect the rate at which your website ranks. We are transparent about what we do and how we do it. This means taking the time to help you understand the processes, timeframes, and technical aspects that go into ranking.
2. What is the Longevity of My Search Engine Results?
Ranking your website will take time but with the right strategy it should continue to improve and not decline in the search engines. Our clients have seen improvements in the rank of their websites with updates in major search engines such as Google with our customized SEO strategies.
At SEOG, we pay careful attention to Google’s ever-changing algorithms and digital marketing trends to continue to rank your website. We do not apply short-cuts when developing an optimization campaign because it will hurt the progress and rank of the site.
3. Can You Guarantee High Ranking for Competitive Keywords?
If you come across an SEO company promising or guaranteeing rankings, always be cautious. It’s like the saying goes, “If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is!” Websites are indexed according to many factors from complex algorithms to the structure/design of the website itself. At SEOG, we provide our clients a high quality service based on our years of search engine ranking experience and specialization in online visibility.
To achieve a guaranteed placement for top keyword ranking you would have to invest in paid advertising strategies such as Google Adwords, which is a pay per click (PPC) campaign. While pay per click advertising has its place in optimization, it requires ongoing cost to maintain your online position. When you end your PPC campaign, you will notice a decline in visibility in the search engines.

Our recommendations are based on an assessment of your website with consideration of your brand, your market, and your performance goals.
