You'll be able to implement quickly and start seeing results. Here's why this episode is for you, EVEN if you don't "do" SEO. Without some type of keyword research, you don't know whether the terms and phrases you're using are helping or hurting you in the search engines. Working on your SEO a little at a time, you may see results in as little as 30 days but expect it to take several months to see large shifts. Highly competitive keywords can take months, or even years to rank for. Start with long tail keywords for the quickest traffic wins. You should only use 1 keyword phrase per page of your site. You don't want to try to rank multiple pages for the same keyword phrase. This confuses Google, which will ultimately decide which page to rank or none at all. Review a few keyword research tools and decide which is best for budget and time.
