At this point most clients see a large increase in traffic that can last the next 1-3 months. We spend the majority of this time studying what leads to conversions, filtering negative keyword traffic and bolstering positive metrics.

Typically speaking, this explosive growth does stop and/or slow to a crawl at some point because your website has saturated all of the "easy market share" that is available.

This is one of the most difficult times in the SEO provider and client relationship. As a provider this is the portion of the relationship where experience counts, and even though FBi will be working just as many hours, the customer is seeing diminishing results.

Example: FBi introduces 20,000 new users a month or roughly 650 people a day in the first few months. Now , as FBi will show 10% growth in the following month, but filtering out 8% of the original traffic as unqualified traffic. Two percent (2%) is approximately a dozen people a day, barely noticeable on the scale of things.
