If your content doesn’t have this, you’ll struggle to rank on Google.
We surveyed 181 SEO experts to get a census on what factors Google really looks at when it comes to evaluating content, these are the ones that matter the most.
A good SEO program needs a 12-month contract.
(With a reasonable out clause.)
When you kick off a new project, you’ll see leading indicators fast:
-more long-tail traffic
-initial keyword rankings
-improved content quality
-stronger engagement metrics
-rankings starting to stabilize and grow
But real traffic gains don’t hit until 5-6 months in, then skyrocket in the back half of the year.
By locking in 12 months, you’re signaling confidence in your strategy & giving execs flexibility.
It’s finally here, our Google Ranking Factors Study! It's a burning question for webmasters and SEOs.
