Most agencies will tell you that SEO takes time to yield any kind of results. How long you can expect to wait, depends on who you talk to. Many agencies set a ballpark range of a year and sometimes even longer. And that's because what most agencies attack first is basic technical SEO. They usually run through the typical checklist of the following action items. 

Run speed tests. Optimize your images. Look for redirectsCheck for broken linksEnsure that canonical tags are in order. 

These tasks matter, but in the grand scheme of your SEO strategy, these changes are granular and work together as a collective over time. They'll make very little impact on what you can see and measure when you're first getting started with SEO.
