It's very unlikely. Put it this way... if the factor (in this case googling the business name) is easy to manipulate, it is going to be worth little or nothing to your rankings in Google. The major factors in ranking continue to be on-page content and inbound links -- two factors that are difficult to manipulate and becoming more and more difficult every day. I have been writing quite a bit about links lately... have a look around and I am sure you will find plenty of info both on this blog and others concerning links.

He had cards printed with his business information and told everyone he knew to google his site and to tell their friends to do the same, saying that this would boost his position in the google lineup.
