If I had $1 for every time I was asked “how long will SEO take for me to get to #1 on Google” I would be a much richer man.

I apologize if I offended anyone, but I’m here to motivate you to move forward with your SEO goals having realistic expectations and timelines.

SEO has really helped my website design business grow, but it has taken me many years of constant work to eat the fruits of my labour. Now I’m really eating (you can tell by my shape).

Creating landing pages can be a very important step in the success of your online business and SEO strategy. Each landing page should focus on one location, industry and keyword.

Remember: A website page is easy to find for all users to your website and featured on your homepage plus links from menu and navigation. Whereas a landing page is only found from a Google search for the one specific keyword you are targeting (and the user has entered). Landing pages cannot be found in the general navigation of your website.

Example of our Toronto SEO Page – Normal website page.
Example of a Toronto Dentist SEO Page – Landing page built for specific SEO searches.
