Serving sandonjurowski.com (personal name hub)

The /sandon-jurowski page is the founder's name hub — a real bio + sameAs Person schema whose job is to rank for the query "Sandon Jurowski" and push unrelated results (e.g. surfaced court records) off page 1. It's live now at hivejournal.com/sandon-jurowski; this guide points sandonjurowski.com (owned, currently 404s) at it so the exact-match name domain — usually the #1 result for a name — serves it too.

Same host-rewrite pattern as habitforge.ai: the domain serves the page at a 200 (not a redirect), so it accrues its own authority.

Code (already shipped)

  • middleware.ts: sandonjurowski.com / www / staging root → rewrite to /sandon-jurowski.
  • The page: src/app/sandon-jurowski/page.tsx, in the sitemap, linked from the Point Seven Studio founder bio.

What you do (console)

  1. Vercel → the HiveJournal project → Settings → Domains → Add:
    • sandonjurowski.com
    • www.sandonjurowski.com
    • Set sandonjurowski.com (apex) as Primary so www redirects to it.
  2. DNS at your registrar:
    HostTypeValue
    @ (apex)A76.76.21.21
    wwwCNAMEcname.vercel-dns.com
  3. Wait for propagation + TLS, then verify https://sandonjurowski.com/ returns 200 with the hub page.

Live 2026-08-08 — canonical flipped ✓

sandonjurowski.com serves the hub at a 200 (www 307s to apex), and the page's CANONICAL (src/app/sandon-jurowski/page.tsx) now points at https://sandonjurowski.com — so the exact-match name domain is the primary result for the name, and the hivejournal.com copy points its canonical here too. Done.

The rest of the suppression play (off-site — you)

The hub is the anchor; page-1 domination comes from many owned results Google clusters as one person. Round out and cross-link (same name, same bio, link back to the hub): LinkedIn (/in/jurowski), GitHub (/jurowski), Crunchbase (Point Seven Studio), Bluesky/X, Product Hunt maker, Medium/Substack, About.me, Muck Rack. And in parallel, the direct route: Google's "Results about you" tool, and — if minors are involved — a request to the court clerk to seal/redact the record.
