April 17, 2026 I built a programmatic SEO site with 900+ pages in a week — here's how

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!

Choosing HR software is hard — too many options, unclear pricing. I built SoftwareDuel to fix that with honest comparisons and reviews of 30+ HR and payroll tools. https://softwareduel.com
