Some do it themself and use GoDaddy and other tools. Some have a professional create their site like Val or others.

You should look at WordPress... It's not just a blog anymore. There are some great free and paid themes you can use. The nice thing is, it's easy to update, and one of the keys to ranking well in the search engines is relevant, FRESH, content.

Another great method for getting on the first page of google is to use articles.
Step one is to determine the key words you want to get highly ranked for.
Step 2 is to write a short article and publish it on ezinearticles.com
Step 3 is to change 30% of the article and post it on your blog
Step 4 is to have a compelling offer of free information, a mini-course or some other offer on the blog that gets people to opt-in. That way you can then send them ongoing messages to build trust, credibility and eventually get them to do business with you.
You'll need to publish around 12-18 articles for your keywords but once you do that you'll maintain first page ranking for months or even as long as a year.

Oi! Australia here...
Let the results speak for themselves:
search term: life insurance #1
search term: income protection, dropped to #2 just recently (shoot!)
6 months of hard work... So if any SEO guarantee you #1 in a month - it's BS or the keyword is a long tail (and low search volume)...
Anyone need real SEO?

WOW....You own metlife...how is snoopy...
The Australia data base is much smaller than the rest of the Google data centers but still not bad considering there is no term related to your keyword in the root domain name. When you see the amount of competing pages show for a site you are seeing all pages containing the words "life" and "insurance". They don't even need to be next to each other on the page. Just on the page to count for the overall competing page count. Considering that site has only been around since October of 2007, it shows a PR of 4 (does that even matter anymore?) and Yahoo shows about 18,000 links and about 5550 page links. That is a fair amount in a short amount of time. Granted, it is in a much smaller data center but still not bad.

I also noticed that within the links to that site that there seems to be some site wide links that may have been purchased and the company that apparently did the SEO is placing anchor text links at the very bottom of their home page to the insurance site as well.
