SEO: Programmatic SEO
Guides programmatic SEO—creating large numbers of SEO-optimized pages automatically using templates and structured data, rather than writing each page manually. Classic “mail merge” pSEO (one rigid template + swapped variables) often produced low differentiation and thin-feeling URLs. With AI used responsibly on top of the same data spine, you can scale per-URL customization—intent-aligned copy, section depth, FAQs, tone, localization—while still following evidence blocks, data tiers, and QA (see Data strength hierarchy and AI-assisted generation below).
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Project context: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read product/ICP sections before proposing playbooks or page types.
Definition
Programmatic SEO = Building a single template and populating it with data from a database, API, or spreadsheet to generate hundreds or thousands of unique pages. Each page targets a long-tail keyword (e.g., "best SEO tool in [city]," "[App A] + [App B] integration").
Key differences from traditional SEO: Technical (SEOs + engineers); long-tail focus; data-driven (data quality = success); automation; built for scale.
