      Hello,

      I have noticed that pages rank much faster in some countries than other. For example it seems that in the usa it takes much longer than in France for example. For the same keyword in English.

      Have anyone noticed that also and why is that ?

      I have also noticed that the more monthly searches the keyword has the longer it will take to rank.

      Thank you,

        I think Google is constantly testing for user intent: analyzing things like dwell time, bounce rate, and effectiveness of the results give users. For searches with higher search volumes, I would think some of the top players are more cemented, due to thousands of instances where a searcher landed on their result and seemingly had their query answered.

        Whereas with a search query that has much lower search volume, the top results are probably less cemented, due to being less proven in the eyes of Google's algorithm. Therefore, it may not take as much time to prove that your result better answers the query.

        I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case for other countries as well.

        This is entirely assumption, I would love to hear others' thoughts.

          I agree with you well know companies have more traffic so that is why is probably takes more time for some smaller company.

          I wouldn't be surprised is the DA and PA also comes into play.

          Thank you,
