@Shpigford’s playbook for building FirstIndex.com <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. He realized he was good at SEO<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. He turned what he learned into Claude Skills to manage his sites’ seo<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
4. He got customers!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
5. he used his skill on clients’ sites<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
6. He wrote code for stuff AI isn’t reliable at (ex: checking facts against a truth doc and counting links.) <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
7. He tweets about what he’s doing for clients’ sites and his sites, which gets him more clients<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
8. The company is just him + the set of tools below.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His tools:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
@github: a walled-off repo for every client that stores the work log, all the research (up to about 100 reference sources per article), Search Console numbers, and whether ChatGPT mentions the client<\/div>\n
\"image3.jpeg\"<\/div>\n
Claude Opus: does nearly every step, with a separate session for each task so no context carries between clients<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Claude Code: runs it all from the terminal<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
@NotionHQ: holds each client’s research docs with some cool automations<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
@SlackHQ: talking with clients and delivering work  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Google Search Console: shows which pages need work  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Python: keeps the work reliable and repeatable, like keeping facts straight across a thousand articles and counting links, plus a script that kicks off each client’s daily tasks<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
@dataforseo: SEO data, about $100 a week for 30 clients<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
@Cloudflare: hosts tiny apps that use “APIs to make Slack and Notion talk to each other”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mac mini: the machine in his office that runs it all  He’s bootstrapping a 1-person company.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Full interview below.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
