Surfer SEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs time passes and you catch up on link metrics with the top pages, if your content is what Google wants to see for the query, you will climb up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How long it will take all depends on your ability to execute and catch up both in terms of content, domain link metrics and page link metrics to your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ranking is not a function of time once you are out of the sandbox (let\u2019s say first year of your site to be conservative). It\u2019s about getting stuff done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you achieve top rankings, will also need to keep fighting to maintain your position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That means you will need to building links to keep your competitors at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it also means you will need to keep updating your content as a \u201cfresher\u201d competitor could overtake you because freshness is so powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope this mix of data and just experience ranking sites helps you understand how long it may take to rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the real factor will be your decision making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Picking the right (low competition) keywords, going against outdated pages and finding creative link building angles are all factors that will drastically cut the time it takes you to show up in the SERP\u2019s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
