When Will my Website Rank #1 on Google?

Have you been told before by shady search companies or SEO specialists that they can guarantee you a top Google ranking for your website in just 7 days? Of course, it’s what we’d all love to believe, but the reality is it’s not going to happen overnight.

So how long does it really take to get your website a page 1 search ranking?

The truth is there isn’t a one size fits all answer. There are many different factors that come into play which can affect your position on the SERPs. To give you a better idea, research conducted by ahrefs has shown that around 95% of new pages published don’t get into the top 10 within a year. For those that do, it tends to take around 2 to 6 months.

How do the 5% get there? With a solid, ethical SEO strategy, backed by SEO specialists that continually monitor your site’s performance and optimise for the best possible outcome.

One of the key factors that helps improve your search ranking is through link building. It’s a process that takes time (hence why you won’t achieve an instant #1 result) but is extremely effective when done correctly. Neil Patel sums up link building really nicely.

So you now know it’s going to take at least a few months to gain any real traction for your site ranking, but that’s no reason to throw in the towel. Like the saying goes ‘good things come to those who wait’.

We’ve previously covered off our top Google SEO ranking factors, but here are a few insights that can help move your SEO efforts along in the right direction:

It all starts with proper keyword research

Creating content around the right keywords is crucial if you want to achieve the best results. Knowing which keywords to focus on will help determine the kind of content you need to create, in order to rank highly and drive traffic to your site.

Produce fresh content regularly

Google prioritises their ranking for new content and take into consideration a number of factors such as the length of content, timeliness of content and whether the content is original. Let’s take blog posts for example. Generally the longer the post the more credible the site will be. Anything more than 300 words is considered a good start, but the key is maintaining quality.\

Don’t stop your link building

If your SEO specialist has carried out your initial link building campaign, keep it going. In Google’s eyes it will mean you’re still relevant. Having quality back links on a regular basis will help maintain and continue to improve your position on the SERPs.

Whilst it may seem like a lot of effort to get started, having a long term SEO strategy in place will ensure your site benefits being at the top for years to come.
