What SEO activity takes up the most of your time.

Honestly, for me it’s probably the boring research part. Finding good opportunities, checking competitors and sorting through data takes way longer than actually doing the SEO work sometimes.

For me the most time consuming point has been building backlinks and the techical aspects, looking at hiring in a freelancer that can manage this points to be able to free up the most time
 
i think publishing good and quality content often takes time, infact seo is the name of patience if you do not have patience then you cannot do it

For me, link building takes the longest finding good and relevant sites is not as easy as it looks.

Same here. The difficult thing is not identifying the right websites but identifying the websites that have traffic, relevance, and a good background. It is normally more important than metrics.
 
Keyword research… because apparently Google and I have a toxic relationship. ;)

Content creation takes my most of the time, especially researching......
 
client communication easily take more time than actual seo work. explaining why rankings need more time harder than doing the audit itself link prospecting also takes lot of time

Is it creating content, building links, working on technical SEO, or something else entirely?
 
Keyword research, analyzing new and existing keywords in GSC, and content curation.
 
I would say small SEO tasks take the most time each task is easy but doing many of them takes a lot of time.
 
Content creation eats most of my time honestly, mainly the research and editing part, not the actual writing.
 
Yeah, content creation takes a lot of time, especially the research part. Making sure it matches search intent can be surprisingly time-consuming.
 
For me, link building takes the most time, especially finding quality and relevant websites and keeping everything organized.
 
For me, the link building process is very tedious. As an off-page SEO, I always look for relevant backlinks, niche, and quality placement as I believe these factors can improve a site's content's visibility and search engine ranking.
 
I spend most of my time on technical SEO and improving existing content. A lot of that involves finding indexing problems updating older pages and strengthening internal links. Link building also takes time especially when the goal is to get relevant trustworthy links instead of simply building a high number of them.

For me, keyword research for local markets takes the most time. Making sure translations reads naturally and the keywords actually fit the local language takes forever. Link building eats up the rest. Pretty much the whole work.

Yeah, local SEO quickly becomes a drag. Translation to make it sound natural and keyword matching to suit the intent takes time. Then comes the link-building process.

I like to see what keywords they are ranking for what strategies they are using.

For me too, the competitors’ keywords are a great way to start off. Anotther thing I do is analyze their content gaps and internal linking.
 
link building eats up most of my time tbh, outreach and follow ups never end. content takes a while too but at least that's more predictable
