How long did it take you to get members from search engines?

For those of you who’ve launched a forum, how long did it take before you got your first member from search engines like Google or Bing?

How much traffic did your forum receive from the search engines before members started joining?

Typically, it will take 3 to 6 months before you start to appear on search engines.

The best thing to do is to keep creating the best content possible.

I think it usually takes me about a year before I see any noticeable search traffic. But I can get members from social media the day I launch my forum.

I just launched a hiking forum. I have an X account with more than 6K followers and a FB page with nearly 20K followers to use to promote it.
