Internet marketing in London is very subjective and I know it’s a bit of an old saying but the "how long is a piece of string really?" does sum up the whole internet marketing thing!

You could be a taxi rank that wants to rank on the first page of Google for 3 local based keywords in which case, as long as the local town or village name is not highly competitive, you could expect the campaign to be quite quick. It could even be a matter of weeks rather than months but it’s completely different from project to project so for this reason, an SEO should never give you a time deadline as to when your website will be sitting favourably in the search engines ranking pages.

Another huge factor to take into consideration with internet marketing in London is how old the website is?

If the website is new then this can seriously slow down the search engine optimisation process due to the search engines algorithms placing emphasise on the domains maturity. The other consideration with new websites is that it is most likely have no back links which without can create an obstacle with getting the site indexed in the search engines. This is even more prevalent as the search engines have cracked down on spammy websites that are thrown up quickly to gain fast back links (black hat tactics)

Some of the other major SEO problems we face when considering time frames can include being developed in flash or dynamic url’s (especially with ecommerce stores)

We can give estimates as to how long the campaign will take based on previous experience but we will always advise that any kind of internet marketing London based service provider should always make it clear that SEO should be seen as a long term strategy!
