Search Engine Optimisation - How Long Does It Take For A Site To
Appear In Google?

A very quick and easy answer! How long is a piece of string?
If anyone guarantees a timescale for organic rankings (organic means you haven't paid Google or
msn to be at the top or down the side of the results page! - AKA a sponsored link) then be very
careful about proceeding with them. The same can be said about guaranteeing 'top 5 or 'top 10
results.
When you launch a new website onto the internet, it's like setting up a business on an undiscovered
island. The people that know about the island (i.e., your staff, your friends, your existing clients if you
are already up and running) will know where to find it, but everyone else in the world, including the
search engines - Google, msn, Yahoo and the like, won't know that it exists.
Consistently people we have developed sites for will call us up the day after we launch it saying:
'I've been doing some Google searches and my sites not appearing at all?'
This is perfectly normal when launching a brand new site. Until the search engines have been pointed
to your 'undiscovered island' then they aren't going to display it.
Google likes finding new sites by discovering the site itself. If you have a link to your new site from an
existing website (which is already in the search engine), Google will follow that link and 'discover' your
site. From here it will investigate all of the pages and content and add the site to its directory.
It sounds simple, and it is! Sometimes it can take a day, sometimes a week, sometimes a month, but
if your site is left stranded out there without any links to it then it is unlikely that you will find it within
any search engines very quickly. Many companies are cashing in on promises of high Google ratings
at a high price, however we feel there are other cost effective solutions to be considered before
committing to a price package.
This may have raised some questions concerning search engine submission; allow us the opportunity
to build your website and we can show you ways in which the search engines will discover your site
free of charge!
