SEO is like growing your muscles - when you start working out, you will see first results in a month, but it may take 3-6 months before beach girls (or boys) start to admire you ;)
SEO is an ongoing process and your successful competitors are running, too. Switching your project off will result in position downgrade, and it will take much more time to gain your previous results again.

A common rule is as follows: the more pages your website has, the better it fits for SEO.
| Number of Website Pages | Recommended Marketing Channels |
|---|---|
| less than 10 | PPC, Banner, E-mail |
| 10 - 100 | PPC, SEO, E-mail |
| More than 100 | SEO, PPC |
Try to create a separate page for each of your product or service. If your website has not enough pages, consider adding a blog, news, customer reviews, product comparison.
The most important metrics are your visitors/leads/sales. We monitor just a few keywords you added, but there are a lot of long-tail less-competitive keywords that bring you traffic/leads/sales – those keywords are raising, too.
As long as we promote your entire website, its rank raises and positions of long-tail keywords improve as well. Consequently, you get more traffic, that is why your most important metrics should be your ROI. We are on the same side — the more sales you get, longer you stay with us.
