1–3 months: Google begins to index your updates. You may see your business appearing for more specific, niche local searches.
4–6 months: This is the sweet spot where consistent effort (new reviews, optimized citations, and regular posts) typically results in a noticeable climb in rankings.
6–12 months: For competitive industries, it often takes up to a year of solid SEO to dominate the top results and maintain that lead.
A professional SEO agency typically charges between $500 – $2,500 per month.
