What is SEO and How Long Does it Take?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) takes a website built by people and makes it easily consumable for search engine robots. If you offer the solution to someone’s problem, but they have not heard of you, SEO gets your name in front of them!
People always ask me, „How long does SEO take?“ SEO is a long game. It usually takes 3-6 months before you see results. During that time you will learn so much!
Why SEO is So Important
