An intro to programmatic SEO

Hey folks! I recently published this Tweet that got quite a lot of attention

I decided to write up my learnings on programmatic SEO if you'd like to take a similar approach for a project of yours.

Particularly for indie hackers who might be more inclined to write code over content, it might be useful!

    Thanks for sharing this!

    I'm curious about something. When you say that you created "many templated but unique webpages"; which pages are you specifically referring to in thehiveindex.com?

    For example, did you use this programmatic SEO strategy to create the content (the "about" and "in their own words") for this MicroAcquire page: https://thehiveindex.com/communities/microacquire/?

    Thanks again for the insight. I love the framework that you are using (google sheets, javascript, etc)!

      What I mean is that each community on the site is a row in my communities spreadsheet. Each community gets its own webpage generated, and the content on that page also comes from my spreadsheet. The "about" section is programmatically generated from a template, but the "in their own words" is custom for every community, hence comes from a cell in that community's row
