How long does this take?
The process can vary considerably but you should be looking at a time-scale of months rather than days. Google often takes a week or so to notice changes on a website, so it can take quite a while to see how effective a set of changes were. Further adjustments may be necessary entailing another delay whilst Google catches up again.
Will I keep my position?
Maybe. Google has control of the software that decides the page rankings and occasionally they change it and a top ranked page drops to the bottom. The only solution to prevent this is to have good ,relevant content and to continually assess and monitor your website.
