235 | 7 Days After Launching Her Website, This Therapist Got a New Lead From Google

And I think the first thing I want to address is that it is, this is not necessarily going to, it's not going to be a guarantee, right? When I work with clients, we launch their website or if they already have a website and we optimize their SEO, it's not guaranteed that within a week you're going to start ranking on Google.

And if you've heard me speak about SEO on the podcast, you'll have heard me talk about the keyword research part so much because truthfully I I think that's one of the biggest reasons why she was able to rank so quickly is because we were able to find really low lift keywords for her that are really highly searched.

And so she had so much opportunity to be found quickly.

But I do want to preface this with one week is actually quite fast to see progress.

I do think some people are under the impression that SEO will take years for it to start working.

If you're anything like me, maybe you've, maybe you're still not really familiar with SEO.

Maybe you like have no idea what to expect because you don't really even understand what it is.

I'll tell you when I first started learning about SEO way back in the day, my gosh, I've had, I mean, I've been in business for over 16 years.

So I would say for the first like seven to 10 years of my business, I've been in business In the photography world where I was, I was always under the impression that SEO was something that you had to build and build and build and build.

And so I talk about this when I've talked about my own journey with SEO.

I waited so long to do search engine optimization on my website because I just had this thought like it's not going to make a difference.

I'm going to have to spend years doing this.

Why would I spend my time right now doing that when it's going to take so long for it to make a difference when I could just go out and market myself more? I wish I would have had this realization and made the switch to SEO on my website so much faster.

Because when I actually implemented good SEO on my website, it started working very quickly.

Within the first three to six months, I was getting consistent leads from Google.

And it blew me out of the water because I had no idea how effective it would be and how much it would change my business.

When I had people coming in consistently, I no longer had to burn myself out marketing myself everywhere else.

Literally, I... could take a break from social media.

I didn't go to any networking events and I was just having clients come in from Google and it was such a breath of fresh air in my business.

And so I think if you have been familiar with SEO for a long time, if you were under the impression that it takes a really long time for it to start working, I hope that this episode today can actually help shift that mindset for you a bit again it may not necessarily be an overnight thing but it will absolutely work a lot faster if you invest in seo with someone like myself who actually puts in the keyword research required so that you can target your website for those really really low lift highly searched keywords because that's where the opportunity is to get you found really quickly SEO is actually a really multi-part process.
