So how long does it take for SEO to work?

How many months does SEO take? When can I expect SEO to start working? These are all valid questions, it seems that every seo website you go to will say a different thing.... the plain truth is.

If a website has been online for a few months, and if the search engines have found and indexed your site, SEO will start working within a few days, from the SEO finishing the initial SEO, the best result I ever have had was 32 hours .... yes... thirty two hours from when I did the initial SEO, results started showing in search engines.

This site I'm talking about did not show in google search results for any phrase at a spot less than 70th place. The site had been online for 2 years, and had had no visitors at all through search engines.

I started working with the website as soon as I had the information to login to the site the same day the payment check cleared, I did some basic on the 10 main pages, just to say, hey google watch out Lynny's from Canz SEO extraordinaire is on the job, and went to bed.... well come on it was late, the owner didn't said me the login info until after midnight... ok so I went to bed.

I then spent the next day 20 hours researching what words would be the most effective, for this website, and though, whoops I forgot to to run my little programs that give me a baseline to work with, so I worked out a list of 50 keywords and ran the program while I was doing the last of the research.

By the time the baseline program I used was finished it was almost 32 hours since I had done some very basic seo.... and to my amazment 10 keywords were ranking in google in the top 3 positions.

One set of keywords for each page I did. I have to admit thats the quickest I had every seen changes actually get into google search results... but then I had never checked that early before. Ever since, many times with an existing site I have checked after 2 days and results are starting to be listed in google, it like with a old website google is just aching to rank it better, but can't if it's not optimised, but once it is, google likes to give almost instant gratifaction.

Best SEO Results, from the BEST SEO!!!

Not The Cheapest SEO, I get SEO Results

I've just written another page for my site, about the Return on Investment(ROI) my SEO clients are are receiving, it's pretty impressive if I do say so myself.

My clients on average are getting a 100% return on their investment is my seo services within 3 months, and then getting at least a 100% return each month after that. These figures are for existing websites that have been online for 2-5 years, usually with no sales at all, although one client I'm offering SEO consultant services too, did have a very good monthly turnover before we start, it's just 3 times as much now after 7 months.

My clients are happy campers, and most are happy to increase the amount of SEO they are receiving.

All except one client, who was happy to increase what she was paying me, but I told her that it would be best to give the SEO we had done a rest for 3 months, let it all settle down, and see how things were, then in Auguat we'd look at doing another blize on the SEO in time for next Christmas.

Best SEO Results, from the BEST SEO!!!

Not The Cheapest SEO, I get SEO Results

One of the website owners I do seo consultancy her website for has just gone from a google page rank of 4 and jumped to a PR6.

I even took a picture as proof I'm so jazzed, lol... see over to the right....

This site has gone from strength to strength, Back in August 09 it had a PR2 when the owner first contacted me about being her seo consultant, it then went to PR3, then PR4, now it's jumped a whole point and gone straight to PR 6. ... Ever seen a crippled person dance, cause I'm trying to now lol...

What will this mean for her now, very successful website, well more success of course, :) when this client first contacted me she had, what most would consider a successful website, she was getting around 9000 visitors a month on average, and regular sales, that were bringing a good income into the house, now she is getting 17,500 visitors a month average over the past 3 months and sales have almost tripled. So even though visitors haven't quite doubled, the visitors are now more targeted, and reaching her website credit card in hand.

Back before we started, only 141 web pages on her site were receiving visitors through search engines, last month, that was up to 307, remember February is a short month.

More statistics you say... ok,

Last month her key phrases increased from 1546 in July 08 to 4724 different key phrases for February 09... what does that mean, well in search engines people found her website for 4724 different phrases, different ways of searching for the products and information she has on her website.
I talked...wrote about Keyphrases in another blog I called Google Adwords vs SEO back in January 18, 2009

Anyway it means more of her pages are being found, ranking very highly in google I might add, for more people searching for what she has to offer.

Here's a graph that shows how highly these phrases rank in google.co.nz the search engine she's most wanting to do well in.it sort of says it all. I tested the top 350 words that brought 50 or more visitors to the site, after removing all searches that were direct searches for the versions of the website name or business name.

Out of the top those 4890 different keywords people used in search engines this month to find the website the top 350 referring keywords I tested, the pie graph shows what % of keywords rank in www.Google.co.nz

51% #1st Position
12% #2nd Position
15% #3rd Position
6% #4th Position
5% #5th Position

4% #6th Position
1% #7th Position
1% #8th Position
1% #9th Position
4% #10th or Lower Position

So 89 % of 350 keywords ranked between #1 and #5 in google.co.nz

Sales from her site were now coming from not only New Zealand, but also from the United States, Great Britain, Australia, China, Canada, Philippines, Germany, Singapore, and Netherlands, and Russia in that order.

Making international sales was one of her goals when we started our SEO consultation contract.

SEO hints and Tips

So if their are so many sleazy SEO out their, how do you tell them from the good ones.

1. A good SEO won't give you a quote before they know all the details about your website and what results you want to achieve, unless that quote is for at least multiple $10,000.

2. A good SEO will usually talk in words you understand, rather than try to boggle you with geek speak.

3. A good SEO will probably ask you your budget, and work within that budget.

4. A good SEO will ask you a lot of questions, you may think some questions are odd, but the less guesswork a SEO has to do the more likely you are to get a good job.

5. A good SEO will invite you to ring them to discuss your needs. Although a lot of work from home's myself included, don't like to give out their home address, honest people are quite happy to give out their phone numbers... ring them, at least once to confirm that the number they gave is the correct one. A landline number is perferable over a cell phone one.

6. A good SEO will never make rash promises, like yes I can get you to #1 position especially before they have researched the phrases you are after.

7. A good SEO will always ask if they can have access to the geeky side of a website, before they give you a quote, remember this, before you get a quote, you SEO should know if they can have access to the backend of the website... this doesn't mean that they have to be able to access it, but if they can't the SEO work that has to be done is quite different, much more time consuming so will cost more, or the type of work they do is the sleazy type, that can be turned off if you stop paying the monthly SEO fee, that might not have been mentioned in the original quote.

8. A good SEO will always be happy to answer your questions, and will be happy for you to question them, I have had a client say they were going to contact someone that knew SEO, I gave them all my contact details to pass onto their friend. Good SEO have nothing to hide about their work.

SEO isn't a one off thing that can be done, that works the same with every website, sure there are some things that every website needs, but each website, in my experience is unique, even two website selling the same thing.
SEO is an ongoing process, and although some SEO make one charge which includes the ongoing work, if you see or hear an SEO saying, your site will take a week or a month to do then be weary.

Ask your SEO what they are going to do to your website, then contact someone like me, offer to pay me $100 to look over their list, I promise you the $100 you pay me will be the best money you ever spend. Cause if there's something sleazy in there, I'll pick them up on it. Often it's the way something is worded, not what it says that's the tip off. And very often people that don't speak you native language will take advantage of this.
