“No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.

Beware of SEOs that claim to guarantee rankings, allege a “special relationship” with Google, or advertise a “priority submit” to Google. There is no priority submit for Google. In fact, the only way to submit a site to Google directly is through our Add URL page or by submitting a Sitemap and you can do this yourself at no cost whatsoever.”

Ok… so maybe they are talking about PPC (paid search) here but even then you can’t GUARANTEE that Google will show your listing on page 1 via paid search…  It’s Google’s ultimate decision based on many factors not limited to your bids, your website, your content, budget, its relevancy, and more.
