Guaranteed Google Rankings

Beware of any SEO company that tells you they can guarantee #1 or page 1 rankings in Google.

Here’s three things to keep in mind regarding Google’s rankings:

  • Nobody knows exactly how Google ranks websites
  • Google’s ranking algorithm is constantly changing
  • Google itself has said ‘No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google‘

For a further explanation of this issue, watch this video from Google’s Matt Cutts.

This won’t stop aggressive SEO companies from making this claim as a marketing gimmick. Can these companies deliver? Sometimes, but they’re likely to be using shady tactics to get there which could pose a risk to your business.

What these companies are likely to do is either;

  • Get you good rankings for very unhelpful keywords which won’t bring you much traffic and/or won’t convert into leads and sales, or
  • Use black hat tactics to rank you for good quality keywords

You should carefully consider the risks, returns and costs of each SEO strategy so you can find one that’s right for your business. Some SEO providers will use ranking guarantees to impress you and make you forget about the potential risks so make sure that you’re using an ethical SEO provider and don’t get blinded by impressive sounding guarantees.

Wicked Cow Marketing provided an exceptional service in the development and maintenance of my web presence. Whereas other companies seem to only work on the website back-end, and some specialise in SEO, I found the team at WCM to be highly skilled at both, as well as setting me up to manage my own content. I would highly recommend them.

It was a great pleasure working with Nick and Wicked Cow. He was extremely effective in assisting us migrate our old to new company website in a quick and painless way, applying SEO to improve our search ranking and making further suggestions on new content that could further improve our web visibility. Top grade communication as well. I would highly recommend his services.

We were referred to Wicked Cow Marketing by our website designer. We found his knowledge of SEO to be top notch and right on the money. Not only that but his service, response time, and a personal effort by Nick to educate us were just the qualities we were looking for in our SEO consultant. We would happily put our trust in Nick again and to refer him, due to his excellent results.
