I made a website where you can nominate fellow SEOs for a FAKE best SEO in the world award

This is a fun website, you won’t suddenly gain SEO prowess by getting featured on it. The idea was to create a site where anyone can nominate another person for the #1 SEO in the world award.

For example, if you want to call John Mueller the best SEO in the world you can and the site will generate this link for you that you can pass on to John via email, social, etc. When he opens it he can see that he is the #1 SEO in the world and he can also download a certificate for keepsakes.

Who would you nominate? Neil PatelAleyda Solisit depends?

Appreciate it if you could share it in your SEO community and with fellow SEO buddies.
