SEO has now become one of the most important things when it comes to your website and cannot be neglected. Although many of us have heard the term SEO, still lots of people have some common questions regarding SEO those are popping up in their minds every now and then. So, here are top 5 SEO FAQs for you:
How Much Does SEO Cost?
There’s no definite answer to this question. It depends upon your goals that you want to achieve through SEO,the size of your campaign and the level of competition for your selected keywords/niche. You can also read this post of how much you should spend on SEO for more details.
How Long Does It Takes To Get The Top Rankings?
This is actually a million dollar question. There are a lot of elements that play their role to get you ranked in a search engine that it is very difficult to get an estimate how long it will take to get the top rankings. Factors like competition, domain age, site architecture, quality of content, the current ranking and quite a few other factors are involved. While many SEO companies can give you some calculated guesses based on their experience, there’s no definitive answer to this question either. Normally, it takes 3-6 months for SEO results to appear and that still doesn’t mean you will get the top rankings.
Can Firms/People Provide Guarantee On SEO?
It has been long established and further affirmed by Google to “Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings”. No matter how great an SEO company is, they don’t control the search engines. Our recommendation is to go for SEO company that are Google qualified (with Google certificate), strong portfolio of clients base with genuine testimonials and they also able to rank well on their own business website (this is their rice bowl and they should be able to rank well). Most importantly, they are using White Hat SEO method to get you ranked.
Where Do People Click (On Search Engine Results Page) the Most?
Many website owners are on view that the paid listings (also known as Search Engine Marketing) on the SERP (search engine results page) get the most clicks. However, you will be surprised to know that most of the people click on organic search results (unpaid ones). Moreover, it is always recommended to go for organic SEO as it is much better in terms of long-term rankings because if a site is ranked with organic SEO, then it means it will stay up there for a long time as it provides users with relevant content and is liked by them.
How Long Google Takes to Index My Site/Post?
If there’s no SEO done on your site it might take up to months to get indexed. Our recommendation is always to submit a sitemap to Google once your website is done to get index faster.

Very true about most people clicking unpaid search results. I know I do this. I tend to avoid the paid sites because I assume they’re not going to be as relevant.
Hi Mark,
It is still relevant but in my opinion unpaid search results have more quality.
