Documenting my journey from $0 to $10M with organic marketing.
How Long Does It
Take to Rank on
Google?
30 days? 90 days?
yea r s? 9m

hs?
This is a question I get asked
almost daily on social and in
my SEO agency, Novum.
The answer?
The Answer:
If you know what you’re doing, it’ll
take 30-60 days to get some first
noticeable search traffic.
This is Catena. We’ve grown
their organic search traffic
from 0 to 1K visits/mo within
60 days.
The Best Part?
90% of the work we’ve already
done will show its affect in the
next months.
Here are the 3 core
ingredients you need
to rank as quickly as
possible:

all subtopics topic:
and search
terms related to your main topic:
Use free tools like:
Google Autocomplet

Google Trends
Then, delete duplicate
topics. Clean-up your list.
Automate this process with
KeywordInsights. It’s a great
tool.

Create
Build
A+ Content
Topical Authority
Once you got all your relevant
topics, create A+ Content for
them.
Google your first search term
and then reverse-engineer
the content of the best
performing results.
Use a free tool like Detailed
to analyze the structure of
your competitor pages
quickly.
Create your outline and write
your article as always (or with
AI) and then A+ grade your
content.
Tip: Use SurferSEO. I've
compared it with other tools
and it's great.
Aim for a content score of 90+
to be hyper-relevant in
“Google’s eyes”...
...And therefore achieve more
top rankings.
In general, a score between:
0 - 33 = irrelevant conten
34 - 66 = decent relevanc
67 - 100 = high relevance

months, I’ve written 153
guest posts...
