How Long Does SEO Take?

SEO is hard. Whaa, whaa, right? I can almost hear you saying it now. “Everyone’s job is hard.” Well I’m not sure if I agree with that. The guy who works at the movie theater looks like he has a pretty easy job to me. I mean he looks hungover half the time. But that is neither here nor there.
