Digital marketing agencies and other online agencies will sell you SEO as a standalone service.

Is SEO a panacea for search rankings?
Let's get real here. SEO will not automatically place your website to #1 ranked on a search engine result. There are many variables involved here. Search rankings can't be cheated to the top even if a digital marketing agency touts that to the contrary. Google and other search companies don't disclose how their search algorithms work and this means we can't somehow magically make a website appear at the top of a search.
