'If something looks too good to be true it probably is'

 

No one can 'guarantee' that they will get your website on the first page of Google, never mind the No. 1 position, for a 'competitive' keyword or keyword phrase, without spending a great deal of time and money.

If the prime 'keyword' for your business is unusual with a low search count, then it should not be too difficult to achieve a high ranking position on Google, but there are still no guarantees. The algorithms used by Google to rank websites are constantly changing. 

Wikipedia definition:

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Typically, the higher a site's "page rank" (i.e, the earlier it comes in the search results list), the more visitors it will receive from the search engine.

Search Engine Optimisation - explained

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is about designing the structure and content [known as 'on-page' factors] of a website so that it is viewed by the Search Engines as meeting their criteria. Search Engines send out 'Spiders' to analyse each website and if the 'visit/audit' is successful then there is an increased possibility that you will achieve favourable results in the organic Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).

There are also 'off-page' factors such as 'back-linking', 'article submissions' and so on.

Whilst there are an increasing number of 'software applications' designed to save time, ethical Search Engine Optimisation still requires painstaking work and attention to detail. It should also be recognised that a website that becomes 'stale' will not be able to maintain favourable results. 

Each website will need a different Optimisation Strategy and we will be happy to discuss your websites specific requirements.
