Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to see SEO results?

Most SEO campaigns take 4-6 months to show significant results, with full impact realized at 12-18 months. The calculator models this gradual growth trajectory.

What traffic growth rate is realistic?

Well-executed SEO can grow organic traffic by 50-200% over 12 months for sites with room to improve. The calculator helps you model conservative and optimistic scenarios.

How does SEO ROI compare to paid ads?

SEO typically delivers 5-10x better long-term ROI than paid ads because traffic compounds over time. However, paid ads provide immediate results while SEO requires patience.

What factors affect SEO ROI the most?

Your starting point (domain authority, existing content), competition level, average order value, and conversion rate have the biggest impact on SEO ROI projections.

Should I factor in content creation costs?

Yes, include content creation, technical SEO work, link building, and tools in your investment. The calculator lets you input total monthly SEO spend from all sources.
