Ep. 337 – Has a client ever asked you, “How long would it take me to get to the top of Google?” Ah, I can see you nodding in agreement.

As web designers, we can't expect our clients to understand how long it can take to see SEO results. We know that nothing produces results instantly and that it can take months to see results due to all the variables, competition, and client goals. But there are some quick wins you can implement to help your clients see progress relatively quickly. By relatively quickly, I mean less than a few weeks or even a few days, depending.

In this podcast chat, Barb Davids of compassdigitalstrategies.com highlights some of the proven strategies she has seen and implemented for fastest SEO success, including:

How to optimize existing blog post page titles to get results
The difference between heading title and page title
Why you DO NOT want to change an existing URL
How to combine videos and blogs to achieve faster SEO success
Onsite tips and tricks you can implement today on your or your clients' websites to achieve better rankings

And much more. While SEO is constantly evolving and presenting new challenges in an environment of algorithm changes and artificial intelligence, these best practice principles have continued to stand the test of time and are everything I implement in my web presence.

If you get quick SEO wins using any of these tactics, leave a comment and let us know what worked for you!
