Setting Expectations for SEO Success
Many business owners want to be on the first page of Google right away.. The truth is, getting good at SEO takes time, planning and hard work.
Here is what you need to know about how it takes to get good at SEO:
- You need to spend time every week doing research and making content

Getting to the top of search results is not a quick thing. It takes time. Google likes websites that show they are valuable, trustworthy and relevant over time. Your SEO plan needs to think about this.
Think of SEO like gardening. You cannot plant seeds today. Expect a full garden tomorrow. Your website needs to be taken care of all the time to grow.
Keep in mind: if you try to get results with SEO you might get in trouble or only get results for a short time. Having a website that people can see for a time means you have to make good content be good at the technical side and make sure users have a good experience.
The Time You Need to Spend on SEO
Good SEO takes a lot of time and effort. If you want your website to grow all the time here is how you should spend your time:
Every week you should spend time doing research and making content, planning and scheduling social media content, sending emails and talking to subscribers, looking at what your competition’s doing, and make sure your website is working well. Sounds like a lot, huh?
Your SEO work needs to be spread out over these important areas. Making content is the foundation. Making sure your website is working well and promoting your content are just as important. Looking at what your competition’s doing helps you find new ways to get ahead and keeps your website fresh and relevant.
A team of people can help you with these time-consuming tasks. If you have people working on making content making sure your website is working well and promoting your content you can have a system that will help your website grow over time.
Making Content: The Important Part of SEO
Making content is one of the most important parts of SEO. If you make original content with the right keywords and post it regularly you can get a good foundation for being seen online.
Here is how to make content in an effectiveway:
- Look at what keywords your competition is using
Use tools to see what keywords your competition is using that you are not. This helps you find ways to make content.
- Fill in the gaps
Look for keywords in your industry that are not being used well. If you make content around these topics you can get more visitors.
- Update your content
Keep your content fresh and relevant by looking at old posts regularly, udding new insights and data, and removing old content that is not good anymore.
- Focus on making content
Instead of making a lot of average content take the time to make in-depth well-researched content that really helps your audience.
SEO works best over time because it takes time to make content. Your content plan should think about what your audience wants and include keywords naturally. When you spend time making content you build trust with search engines and your audience.
Make sure to share your content on media and through email to reach more people and get more links and better rankings.
Technical SEO: Making a Foundation for Search Engines
The technical side of your website is the important part of SEO. As Neil Patel says, “If Google cannot crawl your website you are in trouble.”
A good technical SEO plan requires:
Looking at your website to find and fix problems and fixing errors quickly to keep your website accessible. Always be monitoring your websites performance!
We recommend spending at least 4 hours per month on technical SEO. This helps search engines crawl, understand and index your content.
The site audit report tells you which errors to fix first because they will affect your traffic the most. If you keep your website sound you can build a strong foundation for your content to rank well in search results.
Remember to keep your website “buttoned up” from a side. This helps your SEO efforts and keeps your traffic growing over time.
Building Trust and Authority Through Brand Reputation
Building trust with your audience is critical to your SEO success. Google likes trusted brands because they are less likely to hurt users. For example the “rule of seven” in marketing says that when users interact with your brand seven times they are more likely to share your content, recommend your business, engage with your offerings, and trust your expertise.
Having a good brand reputation tells search engines that your content is reliable and credible. This affects your rankings. Makes your website a destination in your field.
The Role of Efforts in Staying Relevant
Your SEO success relies heavily on having updated and relevant content. A team of people working on content is instrumental in keeping your website competitive by:
- Looking at old content to see what needs to be updated
- Updating old posts with new statistics, trends and industry updates
- Making sure all information is still accurate and useful
