static — no server, no database
The problem
A film-industry professional with zero web presence, competing for his own name against IMDb and aggregator sites — on a budget of roughly one domain name.
The system
Fully static Next.js site with an aggressive search-and-AI-visibility layer: per-page metadata and canonicals, JSON-LD (Person, FAQ, ItemList, Service), sitemap discipline, an llms.txt summary for AI crawlers, and verified Search Console + Bing submission at launch.
The outcome
Indexed and ranked №1 on Google for his name within a day. Live at adamaguidi.com — a verifiable, public reference for how I treat search and AI visibility as an architecture concern.
