Google rank my website lower than those promoted by gateway companies. Why do they

[Get Carter Pest Control]

still get away with this? My competitors pay gateway companies to promote them and manage their websites. As a result the UK market is flooded with these agencies that have effectively ruined the internet as was. To get a top ranking locally [and I mean local] I must pay over £1000 a year to each of three agencies. It does not take a rocket scientist to realise that I would have to overcharge customers to get my investment back. Certain companies may be willing but not this one. I was under the impression that such actions where not entirely within the spirit of the internet, that Goodle punished it, and that in some part it was unlawful.Hope i have stayed within the rules here by not pointing at any company directly.

I'm not aware of any law making it illegal to pay a search engine for preferential placement. It's one way for a search engine to make money, and that's how Google and others can give away so much free stuff.
