Caveat
Because the search engines are continually changing, evolving and re-formulating the way they rank web sites, on any single day, one or more of the sites I claim holds a position of 1st, 2nd or 3rd on the Google SERPs may just show up, at least temporarily, below that position. and like I mention on my “About” page, there is no such thing as guaranteed 1st position organic results.
Fortunately, for the most part, what I have found in my work - through carefully monitoring my client’s top keyword phrases on average, once a week, is that there is quite typically, slight variation for some phrases - up or down a few positions, only to move back to that phrase’s more consistent position within a day or two. This is purely the nature of the Search Engine beast.

Notes about Windells - This site is currently undergoing a complete visual redesign by a 3rd party designer. As such, until that work is done and I can get back in and re-optimize, I can not know when, if at all, any of the top phrases fall off the first page of Google. I sit and wait, poised to do my work once again.

Notes about City Beach - This site was coming up fairly well for a couple phrases, but mostly not at all for their most important phrases, and on the 2nd and 3rd page of results specific to San Francisco related terms. There are many other phrases they come up for on the 1st page now beyond the above list, but this is a good example of how proper SEO can make a difference in the SERPs.
