How long do you tell your SEO customers to wait before they start to see actual results from their SEO?

So, this is probably one of the most challenging questions for SEO agencies likes ours to answer.

That is how long does it take for a business to see an increase in sales, because of the business investing in organic or local SEO.

It ultimately comes down to how competitive the business sector is, we do know that.

We are just wondering what various SEO companies tell their clients.

Is it for example, they have to wait a minimum of six months of paying for SEO, before they can get the business on page one of Google?

Or, instead, do you carry out an SEO audit at the start, and then make an estimate for how long it will take to get the business on page one of Google?

Facebook won't show up in SERP

Hello! One of my clients' Facebook page isn't showing up on the SERP, even when you search "CLIENT NAME facebook" or an excerpt from a live post. Our social media team looked over all the settings in Meta, and everything looks correct, so we are stumped. Anyone encounter this before?

PA and DA for Homepage

I've been looking at the PA and DA scores for the homepage of websites we have built and have been comparing this to competitors. What I'm finding is that the PA score is always higher than the DA, however on competitors sites the PA is much higher in relation to the DA. What could be the reason for this?

For example, some of our website homepages may have PA / DA scores such as the following:

Website #1: PA37 DA25 (PA:DA = 1.48)
Website #2: PA31 DA21 (PA:DA = 1.47)

However competitors often have figures like this:

Website #3: PA40 DA21 (PA:DA 1.9)
Website #4: PA 25 DA 11 (PA:DA 2.27)

I even saw one website with the following scores:

Website #5: PA36 DA5 (PA:DA 7.2)

How do you explain such a high Page Authority in relation to the domain authority for that site?

When I look at the scores for our websites I often feel that the DA is at a good level, but the PA for the homepage doesn't seem as high as it could be compared to competitors. My initial thought was that maybe we had a lot of backlinks to other pages on the website (not the homepage) but this is not the case at all - pretty much all our backlinks are to the homepage. Could it be to do with internal linking structure? Any other ideas?

Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

Massive unexplained organic traffic drop; disappeared from Google

Hi there,
Our site has experienced a huge organic traffic drop, specifically from Google. The drop occurred on Feb 19 and I've got no clue why it happened. We have not made any significant changes to the website and it doesn't look like there was an algorithm update last week.

We don't have any Google penalties or indexing issues noted, and the drop isn't specific to any particular segment/region/keyword.

What am I missing? Any advice or insight is super duper appreciated. Our site is a Wordpress/WooCommerice e-commerce site with a blog and long-standing #1 ranks for keywords related to our main product offering.

keep short posts?

From an SEO standpoint, is it worth keeping a blog post that only has a few images and a few sentences? I think the post was meant to be a 'Recent Work' type of a post, but there's only a few images in it and a few short sentences. I'm thinking they're basically useless since I've created an image gallery elsewhere and I'm tempted to delete them.

Keyword appearing on almost every slug of product pages = over-optimizatio

Hello all,

I have an online store, let's say for example I sell forks of all kinds and colors. So naturally, I have 'product category' pages with titles and slugs like:

Big forks
Small forks
Plastic forks
Red fork
etc..

And plenty of product pages with slugs and H1 like:

Small red fork
Large plastic fork
18th-century fork
etc...

Some category pages are well-ranked, others are not, the same goes for product pages. The problem is that for the main keyword, 'fork' (exact query in the search console), my site is completely absent. Google should logically have referenced my homepage (which has links to all categories) for this main keyword. I have also optimized the page for it, without overdoing it.

I wonder if it's not because I have a lot of pages with 'fork' in the slug, and perhaps Google thinks it's too much (even though it's logical for this word to be present in all product pages because it's an essential word to describe the product).

I wonder if I should not modify half of my product pages to remove the word 'fork' from the slug...(only from the slug, without touching the H1 because removing the word 'fork' would remove its meaning).

Do you have any experiences with this kind of issue? I wouldn't ask the question if my homepage was behind the competition, but it's completely absent.

Thanks
