Stupid question alert

I've set up an ironing service, and created my own website. When I google for "ironing" + my town, I'm listed in the first few results on Google. Would this be the same for everyone, or is it just that I've been on my site several times, therefore Google is listing it artificially high for me?

It's the first time I've ever done a website and am feeling pretty pleased with myself .
