One of the most common
questions I get as an SEO
professional is, “How long does
SEO take?”
It’s also one of the most frustrating questions because, while
clients understandably want a definitive answer, there is simply
no way to provide one due to all of the variables involved.
This is because, in addition to all of the variables that play
a role in the optimization of your own website, you also
have to evaluate those same variables in your competitors’
optimization efforts.
This can make an already complex question infinitely more
difficult to answer.
To steal a line from “Pawn Stars”:
“Best I can do is...”
The best I can do is give you a range of four months up to a
year.
