Sharing may give you visits and because Google is following those will be counted — or it looks that way, we don’t know what Google really does.
Backlinks per se are useless and old hype.
Keywords is another hype. It just means if you are writing about bacon and someone will search things about bacon you don’t use word pig (unless you are telling that bacon is from a pig). And so we are back in meaningful content 
But otherwise. Yes, you just have to wait. Atleast so long googlebot arrives and after that everything depends of you have real content that algorithm of google sees as useful content.
