Search engines and AI answer engines do not only index pages. They resolve entities: they decide that a name on one site and a name on another site refer to the same person, and then attribute things to that person.
Customer sites on this platform published no structured data of any kind, which means they made no claim in that system at all. Your website was a set of pages that happened to contain your name.
Why this costs performers more than most
Most small websites have nothing to connect to. That is not your situation. Almost everyone here is already an established entity somewhere else: an IMDb page, a union listing, a Spotify artist profile, a Wikipedia article, credits on productions with their own pages.
One composer on the platform has all four of those and a major studio credit. Her own domain, the one with her name in it, made no machine-readable statement that it belonged to that person. So when something resolved the entity, it resolved to IMDb, and the citation went there. Her site was never in the running, not because it was worse, but because it never entered a claim.
What the pages say now
Three connected statements, cross-referenced so you are described once and referred to from every page rather than re-described on each one:
- A person, with your name, your professional title, your photograph, your location, and the profiles that are also you.
- A website, published by that person.
- Each page, either a profile page whose subject is that person, for your home and bio, or a page that is merely about them, for everything else.
The part doing the identity work is the list of other profiles, and it is built from the social links you have already entered. Which makes filling those in the single most useful thing you can do here, and the reason this article exists rather than a note saying nothing is required of you.
Two deliberate restrictions
Only recognized platforms are claimed as you. A link to your agency, or to a ticket page for a show you are in, is not another profile of you. Listing it as one would be a false identity claim, and a false claim is worse than a missing one, because it teaches the resolver that your claims are unreliable.
Credits are deliberately absent. This is the part most likely to be asked about. The vocabulary has no clean way to say "composed the score for", and the property that looks like it would work means something else entirely. Publishing the wrong relationship is worse than publishing none, so credits stay out until there is a correct way to express them.
One small thing: your professional title is stored as free text and usually carries a location in it, as in "Film and TV Composer from California". The location is stripped from the title and stated as a location instead, because those are two different facts.
What to do
Fill in your social links, and only the ones that are genuinely your profiles. Then leave it alone. There is nothing here to configure and nothing to switch on.

None of it counts for much on a domain you do not control: connect your own domain. Create a free actor website.
