Normally, keywords started appearing within two days after creating a page. Although the rankings didn’t stay consistent, I could at least see keywords showing up for a while. However, for this site, even though I created a page, no keywords have appeared for a month. I built it as a landing page and don’t plan to write any articles. If I do link building, will keywords start appearing?

It depends on a lot of things. Keywords will appear if your site is showing up in SERPs. Your site shows up if it's ranking better than your competitors. So, backlinks could help but it depends on other factors like branding, authority, competition, keyword difficulty, etc.

If the page hasn't picked up any keywords after a month, it's likely not being seen as valuable by Google, link building can help, but only if the links are relevant and from quality sources. Make sure the page is indexed and has proper on-page SEO, or links alone won’t move the needle.

Normally, new pages start showing keywords within days, but if none appear after a month, it could be due to indexing issues, thin content, competition, or low domain authority. A single landing page without supporting content often isn’t enough for Google to recognize relevance.
Building links can help improve authority and visibility, but results may be limited if the page isn’t optimized. Ensuring proper indexing, basic keyword targeting, and adding even minimal supporting content will boost the impact of backlinks.

if it’s just a simple landing page with little content, google might not see much reason to rank it yet. link building can help push it into the index and get some keywords showing, but usually you’ll need at least a bit more content or relevance on the page. even a few well-written sections can make a difference alongside backlinks.

Link building can help your landing page show up, but without some content it’s hard for keywords to stick. Adding even a bit of relevant text plus links gives you better chances.

If it’s just a thin landing page, Google may not index or rank it well since there’s little content to work with.
Link building can help visibility, but adding some supporting content usually speeds up keyword appearance and makes rankings stick.

It is harder to rank now. So you need patience. And , yes you need to keep adding backlinks.
