It depends on the keyword competition. How strong your competitors are and how strong your website is. I have a question: How to rank for *dentist in location* keyword in Google? For example: Dentist in Chicago. Because, the local business directory sites always ranks at the top. Any strategy to beat these directories and rank our dentist clients?
It's difficult to outrank directories to be honest. You can typically only beat them by targeting the local pack (instead of organic). Otherwise, you're going to need many backlinks
@@nathangotch sub domains are a key thing here, as in sub-localities. If you have a business in new york, then new-york.myplumbingbiz.com helps to localize the search results and enhances the local experience. Trying to create a local biz presence, with a primary domain is a tough sell with the search engines these days... ie, like myplumbingbiz.com is a plumbing company with a new website, sitting in new york. Better off localizing geographically up front in the url these days. Just my honest opinion. Take care!
@@RintuBiswasSEO don't worry about that one term "dentist city". Everyone is trying to chew on that. Instead target longer more transactional queries for dentists such as "teeth whitening pricing" or "how much do porcelain veneers cost?" etc in an effort to get position 0.
Summary: 1 to 2 years in a competitive industry. After first year, 800 monthly visitors. After second, 10K monthly visitors. ... but LSI is also important for SEO: Latent Semantic Indexing. Use similar words on your pages pointing the same topic. This will make Google understand what your site is about, giving you better rankings on the main topic.
Awesome video! We believe that the fact on your videos is always over-delivered. The user intent part is really interesting, I have started thinking more about that.
Nathan, awesome presentation. Although this sounds so scary to realize it takes about 1 - 2 years to rank a new website, it is the reality of the situation. But it is also comforting to also note you can still reduce the amount of time to half if you follow the correct process. So you need guidelines!!!
Nathan, When I watch your first video on youtube,I subscribed because you are providing us the value that is worth 10 of 1000s of dollar.I have accepted you, my SEO guru. I💖💖😍😍😍 love you and appreciate you.Salute You Nathan😍🥰🥰😎
My search index seo only shows the text that is written in my cookie pop up, (this website uses cookies etc...) I tried changing the cookie plugin but it didn’t fix it and I have no idea how to fix my seo if it will only show cookie/privacy policy information. I’m not ranking because of this
@@nathangotch I have a new site, And I publish very nice content with I personally build 10 plus good backlink, but I did not getting expected visitor from google, 90 percent visitor comes from yahoo, bing, duckduckgo. what's the problem? I did not find out.
Hi Nathan! Thank you for this video, very useful and very actual question. Could you please say, what will be your on-page optimization strategy of the Spanish content. Grammarly, Hemingway don't have the Spanish language. And Surfer only searches in Madrid, so I am not sure that the results really relevant to Barcelona (for example). Would really appreciate your opinion!
Great vid! I assume this video is all about timing for a "fresh site". How about a revamp of a 10 year old site? :) I find things can move a lot quicker. These are my fav gigs.
Idea for project/video : How long does it takes for a new website with using only free tools. Meaning no dollar spend on something like Moz, SEMRush or any SEO tools available.
One thing, I have noticed of your internal linking of your site as you talk about topic clusters in the video. I went through your site and I didn't find any main primary page and cluster of subtopics that link back to main page. Which page is your primary page for UA-cam? I can see the review links you have added in Vidiq vs Tubebuddy but you have not added link back to comparison article from Tubebuddy article. How do you manage topic clusters? Do you have any topic clusters pages on your site that you would like to share?
Hey Sarfraj, the short answer is that the cluster isn't done yet. I've work in reverse with that one (starting with lower competition keywords). I don't have a mother page yet
Valid concern and there isn't much you can do except reach out to the tier two placements and ask if they can change the URL to another tier one placement. Losing links is a part of link building. That's why you need to continually add new links. Also, you should factor in link stickability when acquiring tier one placements
So... don’t build links to your own website, but links to a high DA website of a high DA/UR (ahrefs), which links to you? Is this really more effective than just grabbing all those links to your site?
Hi Nathan. I have just started a niche site. Can you suggest me any low budget reliable SEO tool as compared with Semrush or Ahref? How about Keyword revealer?

And I love your phantom link building technique😍😍
New website owner here. Thank you for sharing these tips and thank you for not saying, 'it depends' lol.
1:53 Love that. "It depends..."😆 True, no one wants to hear that. I even asked that guy for help (specific question), and he told me he was too busy.
Helpful sir, #fanforever 😊
Happy to help
We need a tutorial about the steps you have to follow up once you get a website to work on. And how to build a winning strategy

BTW, Nathan loves SEO Surfer.

Nathan Gotch- Backlink still effective for ranking or good content?
You need both
@@nathangotch I agree. You need GREAT content to get POWERFUL backlinks.
@@nathangotch I have a new site, And I publish very nice content with I personally build 10 plus good backlink, but I did not getting expected visitor from google, 90 percent visitor comes from yahoo, bing, duckduckgo. what's the problem? I did not find out.
My goal is to open the barrier to entry into SEO 😀 Great info as always!
That's a great goal!
Can you do a video on which is better rank math or yoast. I'm using Rank math right now and wondering if I should buy the pro 😬
Hi Nathan! Thank you for this video, very useful and very actual question. Could you please say, what will be your on-page optimization strategy of the Spanish content.

Thanks Zhanna! The strategy will be the same, but unfortunately there aren't many tools that support multiple languages.
LOL that "it depends" from Neil Patel made me subscribe to you right away and turn-on the nots
Which tool should I use for seo - ahrefs or semrush
@Nathan.
Any Good Strategy to Rank Articles based blog for high Competitive keywords?
Try this: ua-cam.com/video/onBph1wph-M/v-deo.html or this: ua-cam.com/video/M6jB3LDguXA/v-deo.html
Really informative. Good job 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
good guidance video.user intent achieved for this video...
Mine in position 24 th after indexing in 17 days. It was low and search results is low
Great vid! I assume this video is all about timing for a "fresh site". How about a revamp of a 10 year old site? :) I find things can move a lot quicker. These are my fav gigs.
Thank you! Yes sir, established sites tend to rank faster IF they have a strong foundation. Sometimes fixing existing issues can take a long time
Have you made any video on site architecture keeping keyword clustering or content based Silos?
Idea for project/video :
How long does it takes for a new website with using only free tools. Meaning no dollar spend on something like Moz, SEMRush or any SEO tools available.
Great idea! Thank you
30-90 days to get to the first page for local unless the customer gets in the way.
Agreed - local pack is much faster. My timeline was more geared for national markets
Great stuff as always
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this Nathan!
You're welcome!

Thanks
Awesome - let me know how it goes
Neil's drop was great, I do not like it when the expert says it depends.
Excellent Gotch
Great video Nathan, in the example you showed a links to Forbes, what's the case if Forbes removes the link to your site? Then what?

I doubt it
@@bangbangboogie2142 yeah, idk questionable. I’d like to see a test on to actuallu confirm this works. Sounds like his own personal theory
@@pmich8913 yup . You really just need a large number of unique referring domains backlinking to you. High da is better ofcourse.
But how do you know if u have reached the real seo results!? is it calculated by traffic ? or my website income ?
Hey Nathan, why you are so awesome man?
I think it takes around 6-8 months nowadays for brand new websites
I bet you can get some neighbors too. Make sure you ask. Because old people always talk. As you saw they reffered you right away
I like Nil Patels "it depends" 😁😁😁
How do we know tip at 7 mins works... any proof on this?

Waiting as nethan :D

Dang, Neil bought AskThePublic... now I have to look at has goofy mugshot everytime I search there... here's hoping it's a temporary distraction!
Great
I would say 6 months?
Thats it bro. Im telling neil patel on you. Hes gonna be mad bro.
Do you have issues with Neil Patel?😆
Nope :)
Still relevant in 2025.
It's a huge thorn in my side and it's soooo boring! Probably about a year but in my case 10 years 😟 it's doing my head in dude! 🤯
can you speak chinese?
Sounds like you need a F/T person to go through all those steps and also get back links!
lol "it depends"
1.55 :)
3 months
And.....it's so expensive!
