SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It is a series of regular tasks performed to make your website liked by search engines.
FACT: There is no secret to SEO despite what people say.
FACT: Nobody can guarantee to get you on the first page of google unless they are using Pay Per Click. (pay per click are the sponsored google ads, the very top and the right hand column) Not allot of companies will point this out so be careful about companies that promise you top listings for ridiculously low prices, it might be google ads rather than SEO!
Here is what google has to say about it: "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." - Google Webmaster Central

SEO?
"Working with Carrie-ann has been both an education and a surprise. Education because this is her keyword (sorry for wretched pun) as she guides you through the challenge of SEO. She wants to pass on knowledge, which is practical and meaningful, not just mystifying tech-gobbledygook-speak. She never loses sight of the goal, which is to improve our Google ranking. This openness is the surprise element, as most companies in this area like to protect and control their knowledge and keep a client in the dark. Not Carrie-ann, who genuinely has your interests at the forefront of all she does."
