Your SEO Timeline
What to Expect, Month by Month
SEO is a long-term investment that compounds over time. Here's an honest timeline of what to expect.
Month 1–2
Foundation
Your blog launches with SEO-optimized content. Google starts crawling and indexing your pages. You won't see ranking changes yet — this is normal. Google needs time to discover and evaluate new content.
Month 3–4
Traction
Content builds topical authority. Long-tail keywords begin ranking on page 2–3. You may see early organic traffic trickling in. The content library is growing and Google is starting to trust your domain.
Month 5–6
Growth
Rankings climb to page 1 for less competitive keywords. Organic traffic grows noticeably. Lead capture forms start converting visitors into real inquiries. The compounding effect begins.
Month 7–12
Compounding
200+ pages indexed. Multiple keywords ranking on page 1. Consistent organic traffic and leads month over month. Each new article strengthens your entire site's authority. This is where SEO pays off.
The SEO Math
Numbers You Can Verify
The Volume Math
4 articles/week × 52 weeks = 208 SEO-optimized pages per year on your blog. Each one is a new opportunity to rank on Google and capture a lead.
The Cost Math
SEO agencies charge $3,000–$10,000/mo for local businesses. A single agency blog post costs $500–$2,000. At $199/mo, you'd pay $2,388/yr vs. $26,000–$104,000/yr for equivalent output.
The Time Math
Writing one quality blog post takes 4–6 hours. At 4 posts/week, that's 16–24 hours of work. THE SEO ENGINE does it automatically — zero hours from you.
