Key Points:
• James built a website for a local diesel truck repair business using Claude Code in just 4 hours and generated thousands in revenue within 24 hours
• Local service businesses represent a significant opportunity because competition is often unsophisticated with outdated websites
• Basic SEO optimization using AI tools can quickly outrank established local competitors
• The process combines AI-assisted keyword research, technical SEO fixes, and content creation focused on local relevance

1) The Multi-Billion Dollar Opportunity Nobody’s Talking About

While everyone’s building AI agents and SaaS tools, they’re IGNORING boring local businesses in their backyard!

James partnered with a friend to create a mobile diesel repair service for trucks and built the entire online presence using Claude Code.

The result? Phone BLOWING UP with calls within 24 hours of launch!

2) The Barbell Strategy for AI Disruption

James shared a fascinating insight:

“What if we have AGI takeoff by 2030 and digital services get super disrupted?”

His solution: Build a portfolio with digital businesses on one side and “boring” local businesses on the other.

Local service businesses = HIGH DEFENSIBILITY against AI disruption!

3) The Claude Code Website Hack

James built an ENTIRE professional website with 50+ optimized pages in just 4 HOURS using Claude Code!

The site includes:
• Service pages
• Location-specific content
• Technical SEO optimization
• Mobile responsiveness

4) The Simple SEO Process That Actually Works

Forget complicated SEO tools and analysis paralysis! Here’s James’ vibe marketing approach:

1. Ask AI for 25-50 relevant keywords
2. Map keywords to user intent (emergency, service, problem, local)
3. Create dedicated pages for each keyword
4. Run an SEO audit with Claude
5. Fix technical issues automatically

5) The “Ultra Think” Command for Dominating Local Search

James used this POWERFUL prompt with Claude:

“Go through this website in extreme detail. Ultra think about this. Find all technical and on-page SEO issues so I can dominate the local market.”

Claude found and fixed:
• Missing technical files
• Slow loading speeds
• Schema markup issues
• Internal linking opportunities

All automatically!

6) The Sub-Agent Hack for Parallel Optimization

While working on one part of the site, James had Claude launch THREE separate agents to work simultaneously on:

• Finding missing alt text
• Analyzing competitors
• Identifying content opportunities

7) The Google PageSpeed Insights Trick

Want to instantly improve your rankings?

1. Run your site through Google PageSpeed Insights (free tool!)
2. Copy any errors directly into Claude Code
3. Let Claude fix them automatically

8) The Design Secret: Figma + Anima + Claude

How did James make his site look professional and NOT AI-generated?

1. Get a designer to create in Figma first
2. Use Anima plugin to convert Figma to React components
3. Let Claude assemble the components into a website

Result: A site that looks custom-designed but built with AI speed!

9) The Simple Dev Environment Setup

For non-technical folks:
• Install Claude Desktop ($20/month)
• Set up GitHub for version control
• Connect to Vercel for hosting
