Are you investing time and money into Search Engine Optimisation? Want to know how long it should take to rank on Google?

The Website Group share the info you need to know in the infographic below.

It’s important to note that these figures are based on a study (by Ahrefs) of just 2 million keywords, so actual timings may vary depending on your keyword competition and location.

In short, you can rank for low-competition keywords in a very short time, but high-competition keywords take almost a year to get into the top 10.

Bear that in mind next time an SEO company promises to get you on the first page within a week.

Are they just lying to get you to pay up, or do they mean they will get you on page one for keywords that won’t drive any traffic?

Enjoy the infographic!
