I've been experimenting with programmatic SEO as a monetization strategy and just launched SoftwareDuel.com — an HR and payroll software comparison site.
Here's what I built in about a week:
30+ HR and payroll tools in a Supabase database
870 comparison pages auto-generated from the database
30 alternatives pages and 30 review pages
Dynamic sitemap that auto-updates as I add tools
Affiliate applications submitted to 15+ programs
Tech stack: Next.js 16, Supabase (Postgres), Vercel, Cloudflare
The idea is simple — target bottom-of-funnel keywords like "Gusto vs Rippling" and "BambooHR alternatives" that buyers search when they're close to making a purchase decision. These convert well for affiliate commissions.
Still early days — waiting on affiliate approvals and for Google to index the pages. But the foundation is solid.
Happy to answer questions about the build or the programmatic SEO approach!
