We can’t give you the exact answer because the time it takes for SEO to work varies based on factors like industry competitiveness and website status. Typically, noticeable improvements may be seen within a few months, but significant results may take 6-12 months or longer. Consistent efforts in content creation, link building, and optimisation are key for long-term success.

Not necessarily, there’s other factors like authority, and technical optimisation. Google also looks at other things like how popular your website is, how easy it is to use, and how relevant your content is to what people are searching for. So, while having great content is really helpful, it's just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to getting to the top of Google's search results.

Would you want to stay on a site if it takes a long time to load? Website loading speed is definitely a critical factor that impacts user experience, search engine rankings, conversion rates, and overall success online. It's important for your website to prioritize optimising loading times to ensure a seamless and enjoyable browsing experience for your customers.

If your website has the same content on different pages, it's best to fix it for better SEO. Use special tags and redirects to tell search engines which page is the main one. You might also need to rewrite some content. Make sure to check your site regularly to avoid this problem in the future.

Absolutely, your social media can help with SEO indirectly. When your content is shared on social media, it can bring more people to your website, which can make search engines see your site as more popular. Also, your social media profiles can show up in search results, giving your brand more visibility. While social media doesn't directly boost your website's search rankings, it can still be helpful for your overall SEO strategy.

There are a few reasons why your rankings might have dropped. It could be due to changes in how search engines work, more competition, or problems with your website. Sometimes, it's because your content or links aren't as good as they used to be. The best thing to do is to figure out what caused it and fix it. Keeping an eye on things and making improvements can help your rankings get back on track.

Getting backlinks is important for helping your website show up higher in search results. Backlinks act like recommendations from other websites, showing search engines that your site is trustworthy. Just make sure you get them from good websites that are related to yours

Our team stays ahead of the curve, monitoring all updates and adapting strategies accordingly to keep your website prominently visible in search results. Rest assured, we've got your SEO needs covered, allowing you to focus on your business.

Both of them are important. On-Page SEO focuses on your website's content and structure, while Off-Page SEO deals with factors like backlinks. While some may prioritize On-Page SEO a bit more, a good balance of both is essential for better search rankings.

Yes, SEO remains highly relevant in the age of AI, but it's evolving. While AI automates tasks and provides valuable data insights, it lacks the human touch needed to craft engaging content, understand complex user intent, and adapt to dynamic situations.

As we integrate cutting-edge AI tools into our processes, we're at the forefront of industry evolution. The future of SEO lies in synergy between humans and AI. AI empowers marketers to analyse data, personalize content, and optimize campaigns with greater efficiency, while humans provide the strategic thinking, creativity, and ethical guidance necessary for long-term success. So, SEO isn't fading away, but rather transforming into a more data-driven and personalized discipline, still requiring human expertize to navigate the ever-changing digital landscape.
