You know how, right after you post something on social media that you’re crazy excited about, you keep checking for reactions and comments every few minutes because you can’t wait to see who engaged with it? It’s normal to feel the same way after you’ve had SEO work done on your website. You’re probably Googling yourself obsessively, hoping to see your site climb up the ranks.


But then, wait… nothing’s happening?! Cue the panic.


Even if you didn’t personally ask these questions, we’re betting you thought about them. Here are the top SEO questions we get from our clients immediately after a service.

Scenario: You just did an SEO service on your brand-new website.


Here’s the deal: it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks for Google (and other search engines) to index your site’s content. “Indexing” is basically when Google’s bots crawl your site and decide where to place you in search results.


But wait—there’s more!


Your personal search results are affected by something called cache memory. Think of it like a fridge full of leftovers; instead of cooking a fresh meal (or rendering a new search result), your browser serves you what’s already stored. It’s efficient, but it can make it seem like nothing’s changing. Google’s cache refreshes faster for sites that are regularly updated with fresh, relevant content.


Oh, and let’s not forget: everyone’s search results vary. Google personalizes results based on factors like location, search history, and (yes) those adorable cat videos you keep watching. So, your search results aren’t necessarily what others see.

Scenario: You just did an SEO service on your existing site.


Even if your site is established, it doesn’t mean it will shoot up the rankings overnight. Indexing still takes time, especially if new content, images, or settings have been added.


Here’s what you can do while you wait:


  • Regularly update your site with high-quality, relevant content.

  • Check your site’s analytics monthly to identify trends and address any dips in performance.


Pro Tip: Thoughtful adjustments can make all the difference. Consider touching base with an SEO specialist to fine-tune your strategy and ensure all technical settings are still working their magic.

Scenario: You’re planning changes to your new or existing site—maybe switching up headers, adding photos, or even deleting pages.


The short answer? Yes, changes can impact your SEO, but it doesn’t mean they’re bad. Some technical settings might need updating, and your site will need to be re-indexed to reflect the changes.

Bonus Question: What can I do to help my SEO?

  • Keep your site fresh with relevant, helpful content.

  • Encourage Google reviews for your Business Profile.

  • Re-index your site regularly, especially after making changes.
