Programmatic SEO
a.k.a. pSEO, template SEO
Generate hundreds-to-millions of pages from a single template fed by structured data.
Pick a query pattern with real long-tail volume (e.g. '{X} vs {Y}', '{city} {service}'). Build the dataset first — entities, relationships, attributes. Then build one template that renders a distinct, useful page per row. The line between white and grey hat here is content quality: if every page is genuinely useful, it's just SEO at scale. If they're thin variations, it's a doorway. Google's threshold is moving up.
