Part 1- Four (4) Online Marketing Guarantees
1) Organic Listings- Top 20 of SERPs
Submitting your website to Search Engines is not nearly as difficult as achieving a top 20 position; and keeping it. Top 10 is ideal; but, a spot in the first two SERPs will generate more traffic for your website.
2) Sponsored Listing- Search Engine Advertising
This practice involves promoting your business on Search Engines and ensuring a visible spot on the first two pages; if your budget allows. Nevertheless, it is considered a certain way to gain additional exposure for your business.
3) Local Search
More and more online consumers are utilizing the Search Engine to locate “brick and mortar” retailers and service providers in their area.
4) Top Rankings in the SERPs- There are no guarantees.

Google has always maintained that you cannot buy first place. There are Search Engine Marketing companies out there that would likely argue this.
