Deep dives
Key Point 1: Structure your programmatic assets for user and search engine navigability
Programmatic SEO involves creating landing pages at scale to drive traffic from long-tail keywords. To ensure the success of these pages, it is important to structure them in a logical sequence that is easily crawlable, navigable, and user-friendly. This involves mapping out the path for users to navigate through the page, incorporating elements like breadcrumbs to facilitate easy navigation. The structure of the pages should be well-connected to the website structure, allowing users to access and explore different types of integrations or combinations of products.
Key Point 2: Content production strategies for programmatic SEO
When it comes to content production for programmatic SEO, there are various approaches. A complex project may involve creating rich, high-quality pages with multiple databases plugged in, while a simpler project may rely more on modifiers. The goal is to create landing pages that fulfill user needs and facilitate their search for specific information or combinations of products. The content on these pages can vary, ranging from articles to FAQs and useful links. It's important to note that even with the use of technology like AI for content generation, it is recommended to review and ensure the content is factually correct and represents the brand accurately.
Key Point 3: Leverage metadata, structured data, and monitoring for programmatic SEO success
Utilizing metadata, especially in titles, is crucial for programmatic SEO pages. Including modifiers specific to the landing page and making the titles meaningful improves search engine indexing and user understanding. Implementing structured data, such as FAQ schema and breadcrumbs, provides additional benefits for navigation, indexing, and explaining the asset's structure. Leveraging these schema types at scale can enhance SEO efforts. Monitoring the performance of programmatic assets through tools like Screaming Frog or Google Search Console is essential. Tracking insights, errors, and crawlability helps identify and address issues, leading to improved organic traffic and overall success.
