Nick — congrats on the Sandie Awards tonight. This isn't a pitch and there's no Calendly link. It's one marketer showing another marketer something worth a look.
You've spent a career sizing up what marketing teams actually need — Kodak, Sony, HP, Intuit, and now the chair at AMA San Diego. So I'll skip the sales voice. I built a thing, and I think you'd genuinely find it interesting to look under the hood of.
I run SideGuy out of Encinitas — a one-operator-plus-AI "side guy" that helps North County businesses actually use AI and SEO without the agency runaround.
SideGuy runs thousands of static pages, ~6,000+ entity pages, and a daily search-data-driven build loop — content goes into Google, signal comes back, tomorrow's pages get built from it. All operated by one person plus AI. No agency, no team, no retainer math. For a room of marketers, it's a working answer to "what does a marketing operation even need to be anymore." See the operator side of it, what it shipped today, and the Encinitas operator page — live, not slides.
I'm not reaching out to sell SD AMA anything. I'm reaching out because your members evaluate marketing machinery for a living, and this one is genuinely worth a look. If it's interesting, it's interesting. If it's not, no harm.
A real teardown of sdama.org's search footprint: indexation snapshot, technical SEO findings, and the topic gaps keeping a marketing org from ranking for its own city's marketing terms — delivered as a custom page you can forward straight to the board. It's the same operator-honest layer SideGuy runs for every business. And if the chapter ever wants a no-sales member session, I'll happily walk a room through how the machine works, live.
→ Text PJThat's the whole ask. The sdama.org teardown stands either way — and if a member session ever fits the calendar, I'd be glad to do it. One text, no meeting.
