QUESTION:

How soon will my website show up on Google?

For a new domain, expect 20 to 40 days just to be indexed at Google; expect six to nine months before competitive rankings can be achieved. When moving content or shifting from an old domain to a new one, expect three to six months before the content’s previous rankings are re-achieved at Google. Times will vary depending on a number of factors, including how competitive your industry or keyword set is.

New and young sites should not depend on ranking well in search engine results for the first year or more, but should rely on other methods of driving traffic to their site. Other methods include traditional or online advertising, pubic relations, and blogging on sites that already have high traffic.
