    Re: How Long to get Local SEO Ranking Results? Answers Inside

    Here is a follow up post to Phil's 2 posts from another Local search consultant with interesting viewpoints.

    Jonathon Monk asks WHY SO MUCH BS around the question of how long local SEO takes.

    How Long Does Local SEO Take and why so much BS? - Max Your Web

    Why is it that there is so much BS surrounding what is really a very simple question – how long will my local SEO take?

    This post was inspired by two amazing posts by Phil Rozek of LocalVisibilitySystem.com/...

    The reason I am writing this post as it was some very poor answers to this very question that inspired me to enter into the world of SEO and set up Max Your Web.
    Thoughts about his comments?

    My answer to the Q "how long does local SEO take?" The answer HAS to be varied and has to be
    "it depends". If you truly understand local search and the 200+ factors that are currently at play in the local algo, then you realize there truly is no SINGLE easy or correct answer.

    That's not snake oil SEO, that's honesty in my opinion.

    Now I agree there are some shady SEOs that try to baffle and bamboozle SMBs with funky answers to the the question.

    However the honest answer I believe is to quote a time range and explain that it totally varies based on the situation and even often varies based on things the SEO can't control like domain age, page speed, previous organic Panda or Penguin penalties, etc., etc., etc.

    Great information! And it is the $10 million dollar question! I tend to give the "it depends" answer a lot....I will put a rough time line to each project but let them know it depends. It can be faster or longer...it depends. Some people aren't happy with it depends and want it yesterday but that's what gets them into trouble with the other companies......

    Ah, but you forget; for us non-design blokes, it's all relative
