“Guaranteed” SEO Rankings get you nowhere
Read an interesting article, kind of outdated (about a year old) but still rings true today. If you are looking to gain more exposure and higher conversion for your website, stay away from companies that “guarantee #1 positions in Google”. The only guarantee in search engine ranking is there are no guarantees!
SEO is a volatile fluctuation in utter chaos. Rankings change every minute, across 100’s of datacenters in the US alone, when I work with clients remotely and I mention they are at position X they run the same search and see position Y and freak out! As the Joker said “everyone loooooses their minds…..introduce a little anarchy”
SEO is a long term grind with a mid-level investment and a high return. It is a combination of many online marketing strategies that result in high SUSTAINED rankings. Check out why SEO’s Guarantees are built on thin ice
Realize now that this is going to be a long term process and find yourself an SEO consultant that is ready to team up with you for atleast a year to see and hold tangible results. Increasing sales isn’t just about high ranking, it’s about …. increasing sales; improving customer experience, studying site analytics, implementing new design, social media strategy, internal linking so on and so forth.
Don’t fall victim to false guarantees, find an expert that is willing to team up with you and collaborate every step of the way and you will be satisfied with the results and learn a lot in the meantime.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for the mention at Twitter “Great article tweeted by @afzee”.
I am strong believer of this “No one can offer Guaranteed rankings, if they there must be catch – Beware of such SEO companies or experts “.
It has been taught to me by my SEO mentor, since the 1st day when I started my career in SEO – never commit such rank guarantee’s, however end results and outcomes will be 100% positive and beneficial by following ethical SEO.
You had summed up all the thoughts in a very straight and understandable way. Nice work, it has been a great read!
Thanks
