We know there are a lot of myths going around about SEO and as a result, you may have a lot of questions about our SEO Services and just SEO in general. We created a list of Frequently Asked Questions that you can read to better understand what SEO can and CAN NOT do for your business.
Here are some common FAQs we get about not just our services specifically, but really about what SEO is and how it actually works:
What Are the Limitations of SEO?
SEO is not a quick fix, and results may take time. It also cannot guarantee immediate or permanent top rankings, as search engine algorithms constantly evolve. Additionally, SEO alone may not address broader marketing or website issues. Like:
- Not having a website to begin with
- Poor website structure and navigation
- Thin web pages and lack of informational content
- Distracting colors, fonts, banners, and graphics
- Low brand recognition, minimal about info, company history
- Slow website speed and poor performance
- Mismatched audience and keyword targeting
- Broken contact forms, and phone number links
- No outside traffic being driven to the website
- Lost trust, credibility, and faith in your brand
- Minimal investment relative to the desired outcome
Think of SEO as a component of your business marketing plan, not as a quick fix or cure-all to poor business practices, unclear goals, and misaligned audience and product fit.
How Long Does it Take To See Results From SEO Efforts?
SEO is a long-term strategy, and results may take several months to become noticeable. This is because SEO depends on various factors that are often out of the agency and client’s control such as the competitiveness of your industry, seasonality, and search engine algorithm changes.
So we often recommend to clients that they should commit at least 90 days, 3 months, or 1 quarter to SEO services before they decide whether or not it is working for them.
This gives time for customers to build more trust in your website and your business and for your content to be indexed and ranked on search engines.
Do SEO Results Last Forever?
The short answer is no, SEO rankings are influenced by various factors, including algorithm changes, competitor actions, and industry trends. SEO efforts can improve rankings, but there is no guarantee of a permanent top position as search engine algorithms evolve. Read our blog post to learn more about the factors that can affect SEO results.
How Does SEO Integrate With Other Marketing Strategies?
SEO works with other digital marketing efforts, such as social media marketing, content marketing, paid advertising (PPC), Influencer marketing, etc. An integrated approach can amplify the overall effectiveness of your online marketing efforts.
Can SEO Replace Traditional Marketing Methods Entirely?
While SEO is powerful, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It complements traditional marketing methods but may not replace them entirely. The effectiveness of each strategy depends on your business goals, target audience, and industry dynamics.
