How long does it take to optimize SEO for a corporate website to see results?

With so many variables to consider, the general answer to this question is obviously "it depends":

• Internet marketingstrength
• keyword competition
• Web Promotionbudget
• SEOtechnical skills
• and many more……

However, a Singaporean SEO company (hereinafter referred to as Xiao X) has already helped us filter SEO data with historical rankings, and gave a more quantitative answer, which is optimizationE-commerceWebsite solutions.

Xiao X calculates 200 million random keywords and ranks in the top 10 SEO data of Google ▼

As you can see, the first 10 pages are over 2+ years on average.The older the page, the more front-end it is.

Sites that rank on the first page are, on average, nearly 3 years old.

在前10页中，接近60％是3岁以上的旧页面，2年内不到20％，只有22％是不到1岁的页面。

Then, the data of page ranking within 1 year are as follows ▼

It can be seen that only 1% of the pages ranked on the first page are new pages less than 1 year old, and only 10% of the pages ranked on the 4th position are new pages of 1 year old.

How long does it take for a page to rank in Google?

Xiao X randomly selects 200 million pages from 1 year ago from the database of pages crawled by his spider (the spider found these pages a year ago), and calculates the results of keyword ranking obtained from these pages▼

Color description:

• Blue is the top 10.
• Orange is ranked 11-100.
• Gray is not ranked in the top 100.

The left is the average data of all pages, the first one on the right is the high-authority domain name

What is DR?

• DR is an indicator used by Xiao X to measure the weight of the external links of the domain name.
• In the middle is a medium DR.
• On the right are pages with low backlink authority.

It can be seen that only 1% of these pages 5.7 year ago achieved a top 10 ranking for at least one keyword.

The stronger the external link of the domain name, the higher the ratio, and the more the new page ranks.

74.8% of new pages basically did not rank within 1 year.

Then, take a look at the time it took for 5.7% of those pages to rank in the top 10 from nowhere, and the results are as follows ▼

• 大部分页面花了61-182天，从无到排在前10位，是2-6个月。
• It should be noted that these figures do not imply that a new page will take 2-6 months to complete SEO before it can reach the first page.
• That's just the amount of time it takes for 5.7% of pages to rank on page 94.3, and the remaining XNUMX% don't make it to page XNUMX at all.

If you count the ranking of these pages according to the popularity of keywords and the number of queries, you can see the results again ▼

• Few new pages rank for the most popular keywords.
• The more popular and more queried, the lower the percentage of new page rankings.
• For terms with more than 5 monthly queries, only 0.3% of new pages within a year achieve page 1 rankings.

Ranking times for these new pages, displayed by keyword popularity ▼

• Blue are trending terms (over 5 queries per month).
• Orange is medium term (5000-2,0000 queries per month).
• Grey is a dull word (less than 1000 queries per month).

It can be seen that in the Google top 10 rankings, 5.7% of the medium competition words take more than 6 months, while the popular words take more than 8 months.

It's also worth noting that 5.7% is the time it takes to get a handful of pages to rank on page one, and the vast majority of new pages in a year don't rank at all.

How long does SEO take to be effective?

• 1% of 94.3 year new pages did not receive any ranking (after 10 pages).
• 5.7% are lucky enough to get a ranking page and it takes 2-6 months to get ranked.
• 5.7% ranking pages, it takes more than 8 months to rank for top keywords.

For experienced SEO pros:

• Keywords with 0 competition (less than 1000 queries per month), and quickly ranked on the first page within 3 months.
• Medium-competitive keywords (5000-2,0000 monthly queries), ranking on the first page for at least half a year.
• High-competition keywords (more than 5 queries per month), ranking on page 8 for at least XNUMX months.

in conclusion:If your new website or new page does not rank after doing SEO for a year, it is because you don’t know SEO, or you don’t have the time to do a good job in SEO.
