Almost people in this forum know the basic knowledge about SEO. The first thing to have a good ranking in Top 10 Google is put the keyword in links, title, build backlinks, landing pages....... and you must do this, you must do that? But how many people successful? and when we have patience with SEO we will get achievement. We have many website competitors in the world, and your customer just say: "How long our website will be in top Google?" You must answer them. I optimized about 500 pages, some page in top 10 Google and other pages is none. Keep working submit directory, write blog, write articles..... and remember put your keyword in backlinks. You do anything. But still not appear in top 10 Goolge. I have a music website, and I work SEO for my site is pretty good, just search with primary keyword or minor keyword my website in top 10 Google but when I apply SEO progress for my customer, it's not good. I don't know why? Any SEO service or SEO experts can give a deadline for your SEO project (All web pages must in Top 10 Google about 500 pages?)
The result of search engine optimization takes time.. no exact date, but definitely theres an output.. depends on how you do it... regular research and reading can help to solve particular problem... SEO change every now then.. its because of some changes of SEs...
yeah it takes forver and requires tons of optimization fine tuning and experimentation you will probably end up changing your keywords alot based on how strong the competition is then you gotta build links
If you can't get results then why are you running an SEO service? There are ever changing factors you must stay up to date with, other factors that will always remain the same. You must keep with the times if you wish to succeed.
Track your rankings carefully from the start of your SEO work. If you are for example ranking #150 on day one and then #50 after a month then you are probably doing something right even though you're not in the 1st page. There are a lot of softwares out there that can track these rankings historically for you with automation for a lot of keywords. Even if the site is not moving in rankings short term, as someone mentioned earlier, your efforts could still be good for the long term.
