I was thrilled to win one of the most difficult awards in the SEO industry: the #1 World Champion award at SEOktoberfest 2026.
SEOktoberfest is a private, invite-only meeting of 50 of the best minds in SEO and digital marketing, where “expert” and “newbie” speakers share their best work from the year. All of the talks are meant to be confidential, so my presentation can’t be shared or summarized online. But I was surprised – and honored – that the group voted my talk as the #1 best of the year, and to be awarded the #1 SEO World Champion award at this year’s SEOktoberfest – the greatest honor of my career!
Here’s a group photo from the event:
