06. How quickly will I see results?

A: A: The speed at which you see results will be based on several factors. Your current status: How well does your site rank now? What is your current monthly reach? What is your current conversion rate? What are your team dynamics? Your competition: How aggressive is your competition — are they already dominating the search engine rankings and you want to catch up? Are the keywords you’re interested in very competitive? Your budget: This determines the amount of work we can do together each month. If you have aggressive growth goals and heavy competition, you should take that into consideration when you choose your digital marketing budget. That said, we generally see results around the 3-6 month mark, while it’s a safe bet to count on a full 6-12 months to build a comprehensive and integrated digital sales and marketing program that’s firing on all cylinders.
