Understanding How Long It Takes SEO To Get Traffic To Your eCommerce Site

With the right eCommerce SEO strategy, you will be able to justify your ongoing investment within 4 to 6 months. However, it can take up to 12 months to maintain consistent and continuous sales. In order to illustrate better, here’s how a typical SEO campaign progresses through a 6-month period:

Month 1: Research and Discovery, Website Audit, and Keyword Strategy

If research and discovery are completed quickly, technical changes to the website could begin within the first month. In other cases, a thorough research and discovery phase can last several months.

Month 2: Technical Website Modification

Changes will be made to the website based on the results of the site audit. In some cases, the website must be completely rebuilt, which can take months. Other SEO tactics can be carried out concurrently with the overhaul.

Month 3: Content Creation and Product Promotion

Blogs, FAQs, products, and other content will be uploaded. Ideally, you would have begun this immediately after planning but some websites require a technical overhaul first. By the end of this month, you may notice some improvements in rankings. 

Month 4: Continued Content Creation and Link Building

By this month, link building will begin. Your website has enough optimized content by now so you should see a significant increase in rankings, traffic, and lead generation. Improvements should be noticeable enough to let you know SEO is working.

Month 5: Social Media Management

By this month you should already be incorporating social media to amplify your content and increase direct traffic to your website. This can lead to a healthy, natural link profile

Month 6: Targeted Optimization and Consistent Content Creation

From this point on, your activities may be consistently focused on content creation and promotion. This is the best time to optimize your site for conversion in order to improve how traffic converts into sales.

After the 6th month, traffic will continue to grow and sales will begin to increase. Search engines want to present the best results for any given search query so it really takes a lot of time and effort before you start to rank and eventually increase sales. 

Creating an effective SEO strategy can be extremely difficult and time-consuming, especially if you’re busy handling equally important aspects of your eCommerce business.
