Launching your website is a major milestone for your business. But creating great content and visuals is just one piece. When you're planning to start your website, there are a few things you need to know before you begin, here are my top 4 SEO and search related points.
4 things you need to know before starting your website:
It takes time for Google to read & discover your site (this is called "Indexing"). Your site won’t appear on Google immediately. While I take every step to keep this time at a minimum, it can still take days, weeks, or longer in some cases.
Ranking on page 1 requires effort. Most websites that appear on the first page of search results have invested time and resources into SEO. It takes patience and a strategic approach to improve rankings. If it were easy, everyone would be there!
New domains take longer to establish trust. If you recently purchased your domain, it may take longer for Google to trust it, which can impact how quickly your site ranks. Older domains often gain trust more quickly.
SEO changes don’t work overnight. Even after optimizing your site, it can take months to see the full impact on search rankings. SEO is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix.
The Bottom Line
A well-designed website is a powerful tool, but getting results takes time, consistency, and investment. If you're ready to build a strong foundation for your online presence, I’m here to help! Let's create a website that not only looks great but also works toward long-term success.
