How long before Google will update search terms matching my website?

I have a site which title I changed about a month ago. The site is a classifieds website which is powerful, using php. The title changed from "Free classifieds" to "purchase and sell free of charge classifieds".
The weird part is that after about two weeks the title received google search results page altered to the brand-new title, BUT when I browsed for "purchase and sell complimentary classifieds" my site didn't appear at all. I imply I have undergone over 30 web pages of search results page and my website isn't really noted.

    This is due to several reasons. When you change the "title", the algorithm that google uses to crawl (SERP) is affected big time. That is why it is always advisable to do it right the first time. Take your time to come up with your title.

    Are you willing to stick to this - "purchase and sell free of charge classifieds"? If you are, then google will eventually rank you. That is if you optimize your site.

    Check also on your permalink, and ensure that it is the same as your title. Change in the permalink will definitely affect the ranking of your website.

    Go back to the site maps and also ensure that the name of your site is in line with the changes that you made.

    When you optimize your site, your ranking will eventually improve. But this will take much more longer because of the changes you made.

    It may be your optimization because I would say at most maybe 2 weeks from what I've experience, but after 30 days you should be up there unless you didn't make all the names changes as deeds said.
