GuestJanuary 15, 2026 at 11:03 pmWeb designer here who has dealt with SEO experts. Generally time & effort is what takes to grow SEO. SEO is just one piece of the puzzle. It is very unlikely that you can get good SEO with a few hours of investment. Good SEO is consistent. Time consuming, a lot of on topic understanding, analysing and critical thinking.
All these things take time. I did say it’s one piece of the puzzle because the other pieces are visual design, trust signals, speed and marketing.
Without the whole package you can’t make a lot of money on just seo alone. But there is also advertising, customer service, geographical location, existing connections and other factors that also play a role.
