03 / AI DEVELOPMENT & INDEPENDENT RESEARCH
AI web development.
Search engine research.
Esteban is actively involved in AI web development, search engine research, and the study of AI website indexing behavior. Through AI Web Design NWA and his own website projects, he builds with AI tools and examines how those websites are discovered, indexed, and ranked in Google Search.
His independent case studies track initial indexing, rising visibility, ranking losses, and continued search presence. He compares AI-generated websites hosted on platform subdomains with those connected to custom domains, documenting differences in their indexing and ranking behavior over time.
To describe the patterns he observes, Esteban has introduced AI Index Entry, AI Index Ascent, AI Index Drop, AI Index Ghosting, and AI Index Normalization. His AI Index Drop Theory explores possible explanations for those changes.
This hands-on research informs his approach to website development and local SEO. The terms describe his independent observations and hypotheses; they are not official Google classifications or proof that a domain type or AI tool causes a particular search outcome.
