A common question that a SEO will hear by a potential client is can you make my site #1 on Google? There are many ways that SEO companies answer this question but the simple fact is:
No one can guarantee #1 ranking on Google.
This is a very important concept to grasp when looking for a reputable SEO company. There are Google Webmaster Guidelines that a white hat search engine optimizer can follow but the fact is that no one, not even Google can guarantee your site to be ranked number one.
