Guaranteed Top Search Engine Rankings?
A direct quote from Google:
"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."
Here at Customer Magnetism, we simply guarantee that you will receive professional services that will be specifically detailed out within your service agreement, backed by over ten years of experience, an excellent reputation and an extremely high renewal rate. Protect yourself from the following promises that will only leave you disappointed.
Common Misleading Guarantees
Be careful of insisting on guaranteed search engine optimization. The guarantees we have seen are always misleading in one way or another. Many people will reply "Well, some kind of guarantee is better than nothing." However, that is exactly the type of thinking that allows people to be disappointed later. The following methods are some of the most common:
The FIRST misleading guarantee is the empty promise of, "We guarantee that you will receive top rankings, or we will continue to work on your rankings until we do." This means nothing. Why? Because they are not really interested in renewals or long term relationships; their goal is to simply take your initial fee and continue to do nothing. Our very first clients are still with us to this day.
The SECOND misleading offer is when a company promises you first page listings on Google and/or Yahoo, but fail to tell you that they are talking about sponsored listings and not natural listings. They charge you a monthly fee for guaranteed traffic and end up spending only a small portion of your overall budget toward the click-through fees from sponsored listings.
The THIRD and most common misleading guarantee is the performance based, money back guarantee. This includes a guarantee that a certain percentage of your target keywords will receive top rankings within the major search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Sounds great, right!? However, read a little deeper in their contract and you will eventually see that their list of "major" search engines typically include five, ten and sometimes even as many as fifteen or more small and outdated search engines. These smaller search engines are very easy to generate top rankings in. And that is the catch. While they will verbally focus on Google, the small print within your contract reveals the truth. They end up easily meeting their guarantee and you are still no where to be found on Google or any of the search engines that really matter (which is where the REAL traffic is). Ask them for a 100% money back guarantee for top rankings on Google only and see how quickly they change their tune.
