Briefly, good is conventionally used as an adjective, well as an adverb.
There's a nifty site called Dr. Grammar that elaborates, linked below.

Good is properly used as an adjective with linking verbs such as be, seem, or appear: The future looks good. The soup tastes good. It should not be used as an adverb with other verbs: The car runs well (not good). Thus, The dress fits well and looks good.

Good is adjective, applies to nouns. Well is adverb, applies to verbs, other adverbs or the whole phrase.
I am a good person. Good = adj.; person = noun.
I dance well. Dance = v.; well = adverb.

Good should be used only with nouns since it is an adjective. (The meal was good). Well should only be used with verbs since it is an adverb. (He writes well.)
