How long did it take for your website to get its first steady search traffic?

Launched my site about two months ago, and according to my analytics, I'm getting maybe 3 organic visitors a week. For those who built sites from scratch, how many months did you have to wait before Google started taking your pages seriously?

One thing that can help is targeting specific, less competitive keywords instead of trying to rank for broad terms right away. It's easier to reach the right audience when your content answers a clear question that bigger sites might overlook.

Making sure your pages answer specific questions people are searching for can help you attract the right visitors. I'd also check Google Search Console to see which queries are already bringing people in, since that can give you ideas for what content to improve or create next.

Two months is still early, so I'd focus on building a solid foundation first. Making sure your pages target relevant keywords, answer what people are actually searching for, and are easy to navigate can make a difference in the long run.

Agreed, it's not exactly a game-changing milestone, but it's still progress worth appreciating. Even small improvements can add up over time, and having something to build on is better than staying stuck at the starting point.
