Is all domain crowding due to bonafide relevancy of the services and their interrelativity?

A SEO agency has started to work on one of the website`s services (10) section. After 2 month, 1 keyphrase on search gives 7 results (out of 11 services) on 1st page. The experts says this is due to bonafide relevancy of the services and their interrelativity.
Please tell me this can happen and this is positive result??

Jim Munro: Hi Neeraj, :)

I am not an expert but I will say what I believe to be accurate. It's called "domain crowding" and it can happen legitimately. I don't think this means anything one way or the other but it seems more likely than not that you can relax as maybe only one result might usually appear if the results were artificially manipulated. ;
Aamir Siddiqui: Yes this did happen certainly due to domain crowding and shrinkage in Google SERP Real Estate. I have also read some article some months before which had the title "7 is the new 10" and now Google allows just 7 results for a branded query and a brand can show its other links on the SERP through site-wide links beneath its main SERP listing. The sitewide ; links in the SERP is the part of rich--snippet provided by Google ; to facilitate its organic listing customers and its also aid in PPC too.
