How Long Does It Take to Rank?

There is no magic formula to rank a website on Google. Nor can anyone tell you how long it will take.

Multiple studies show that if you start a website right away, you might need to wait 3-4 months before you get your first Google visits. If you work in the right direction, you will start to see some serious traffic from Google after 6 -7 months.

You may need to wait longer than one year in order to rank higher on Google and get the top spots.

However, I have found that there are certain factors that are more crucial than others when it comes to Google rankings. This is what I will share with you in this tutorial.

Let’s find out how long it will take to get noticed in Google!

What is the Average Time It Takes to Be Found on Google?

Google repeatedly states that it uses more than 255 factors in its algorithm to rank pages.

However, the most important factors that affect how long it takes to rank on Google are:

1. Domain Age

If other factors are equal, a website that is trusted and older is more likely to rank higher in Google search results.

Another great training, Lily. This has given me a lot to think about and this information has really helped me. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on newish websites that are in very competitive niches...is there a chance to still get that necessary traffic against the big guys?

I think that there is a chance Susan. As long as we choose less competitive long-tailed keywords where we are not in direct competition with the big guys and we write outstanding quality content we will get ranked.

But keep in mind that it really does take some time for Google to see you as an authority but worth the effort in the long run.

Basically, you will have to outthink the big guys and be more helpful.

I still think that the hardest part of running an online business is working away each day not knowing for sure that you will be successful. But there are little signs.

What does it mean by a strong profile when a non-optimized title can rank?

It means that your website has probably been running for many years and your brand is well known.
