What’s the timeline to rank your website in Google Top 10?

One of the most asked SEO query is – “How much time will it take for my website to appear in Google results?” The question seems simple and straightforward for the clients, but for the SEO team, the issue is not as simple. Search engine rankings depend on a large number of factors, which require significant amount of time and efforts. In this blog, we’ve pulled together the factors that influence the timeline for your website to appear in search engine results.

Before beginning SEO, what is the position of your website?
If your website does not have any optimization done at all, redoing the process may take a greater chunk of time

Does your site have inbound links?
If your site does not have any inbound links, you will have to wait.  However, if you already have inbound links, updation will speed up the crawling of your website

How recently was your website built?
A brand new site without any links will have to wait for sometime before it is found by Google search engine.

How flexible is your website?
If your website incorporates a content management system, which is open to SEO based changes; your website is likely to have a better ranking.

How competitive is your target phrase?
If you are betting on a highly competitive target phrase, it will take time to appear in search results. You will have to add links, pages, and fresh content regularly to find your place. It is recommended that you go after easier target phrase first, and then transition to a higher stage.

How competitive is your website?
Examine 10 competitor websites closely for target phrase. If your competitor websites rank heavily with thousands of links, it is better to reevaluate your goals or have a very long term plan with consistent efforts to compete.

Moreover, once Google spider crawls your website, you will have to wait for the updated cache to appear in Google’s index. You may also have to wait for some more time for the results to actually appear in search engine rankings.
