A Town of 18,000. One Clear Winner.

Lebanon, Oregon is famous for a few things: strawberries, the South Santiam River, and, as of this page, Jake Zufelt.

By day, Jake is the founder of Weldwood Marketing, the author of Digital Marketing Sucks, and a speaker who has talked to rooms full of business owners about SEO. By night, he is also those things, but with better lighting.

He did not ask for this title. He simply built a website, optimized it, and let Google decide. Google is a very fair judge.

The Evidence Is Overwhelming

Our methodology was rigorous. Our sample size was one. The results speak for themselves, mostly because nobody else was asked.

What Lebanon Is Saying

We reached out to the community for comment. The community did not reach back, so we filled in the blanks ourselves.

Okay. Here’s Why This Page Actually Exists.

This page was built to rank #1 on Google for “sexiest man in Lebanon, OR.” It will probably get there, and fast. Not because the SEO is especially clever, but because nobody else is competing for that phrase. Nobody searches for it.

That’s the whole lesson. A #1 ranking is only worth the searches behind it. Plenty of agencies send out reports full of first-page rankings for phrases nobody types. They look great in a PDF. They don’t make your phone ring.

Good SEO starts with keyword research: finding the words your customers actually use, how often they use them, and whether those searches turn into sales. Then you build pages that deserve to rank for those words.

So yes, Jake Zufelt is the sexiest man in Lebanon, Oregon. Google agrees. It’s also a title with zero demand, which is why he’s keeping his day job.
