18. How long does it take to rank a website? Or, How Long Does It Take To Rank on Google?
Answer: Now you have asked something really difficult which is hard to answer. Let me first enlighten you with the truth behind SEO ranking. Nowadays, SEO has become a very difficult process as everyone wants to rank up their business. For this reason, the search engine owners have made their logarithm updated and totally spam free. That�s why you have to believe me when I tell you that ranking a site overnight is nothing but an impossible theory. As SEO is a gradual process, we have to work on the ranking of a site gradually day by day. It takes months, sometimes years also. So if you ask me for a minimum estimated time, I would say, it may take 6 to 12+ months to get your website ranked in search engines. Mainly it depends on a site�s keyword competition. It�s not unknown to you that if the keyword competition is higher leveled, it will take much more time to get a website to rank. Just the same, you know, If the competition level is low, it will take much less time to get ranked. And another thing, I would do nothing that might harm your site. We, the freelancers, always do white hat tasks for ranking a site as we know that Blackhat tasks are seriously harmful to a site. That�s why I personally, I always appreciate the first way and do all the white hat methods to rank a website. So I would heartily desire that you might give me a chance to show my talent by working on your project. I will work hard and will not disappoint you
