Depending on the amount of competition, this could take months for noticeable results. Search Engine Optimization is definitely a long-term process. If someone tells you they can quickly place you on the first page of Google in the free results, be wary.

Search Engine Optimization continues to get harder as Google updates their algorithm more than 400 times a year to look for websites that are genuinely good versus websites that have had poor optimization, or SEO. The problem is that people tend to forget the SEO Basics. I have decided to prepare an article discussing the 6 basic components of SEO that I base my practices on. They include on-page optimization, off-page optimization, local search, social media, blogging, and mobile friendly. Look for each of these components explained more in depth in my future posts.
