Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As we all know, an important part of local SEO, is building business citations. However, we are interested at our white hat SEO Agency, how many business citations do you build for each of your clients?

So, this is probably one of the most challenging questions for SEO agencies likes ours to answer. That is how long does it take for a business to see an increase in sales, because of the business investing in organic or local SEO. It ultimately comes down to how competitive the business sector is, we do know that. We are just wondering what various SEO companies tell their clients. Is it for example, they have to wait a minimum of six months of paying for SEO, before they can get the business on page one of Google? Or, instead, do you carry out an SEO audit at the start, and then make an estimate for how long it will take to get the business on page one of Google?

Hi, we are an SEO agency with over 10 years experience. We have always used white hat methods, we have only ever built quality links, and written quality content marketing. We have consistently had good organic ranking's in Google. The website recently moved back in the serps, not just a bit but absolutely massively. We cant work out why, we cant justify why neither. We are wondering if any SEO experts know why such moves exist, even if you follow white hat methods?

We have followed the guidance of [Google EEAT] and Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. However, our [Cardiff SEO company] has moved back substantially in the SERPs; the links and content marketing are good, yet we substantially back on Google’s SERPS by over 30 places and we have no clue why. We don’t know why; we are an SEO agency with over ten years of SEO experience, we never have had this happen to us, and can't figure out why our business has moved back to Google. If there are any SEO experts here, we would appreciate your help. We called Walsh and Partners, we are a white hat seo company based in Cardiff, South Wales, any help we would be so grateful.
