Question 1

Can you guarantee that I’ll be first or ranked higher than competitors of mine for my top keywords?

Accepted Answer

There are no guarantees when it comes to where Google ranks websites online. Although, when we optimize a site for core business keywords we can track progress to make sure that we are working our way up in the search results. We need to earn our way to the top by running a successful SEO campaign.

Question 2

How long does it take to see results for SEO?

Accepted Answer

The short answer is 6-18 months to see impacting results. Every website is built differently and every business has a different level of competition online. There are many different reasons why it may take longer for one website to rank than another. Domain history, backlinks, website health, bounce rate & content are just a handful of some factors that need to be looked at when guesstimating how soon results can be seen.

Question 3

Is it a good idea to purchase multiple domains and point them at my site to help with the SEO?

Accepted Answer

In most cases this won’t help the SEO efforts. Years ago it was a technique that may have helped a little. If the domains are similar to your business name it is definitely a good idea to own these and point them to the main domain.
