SCALE YOUR SEO EXPONENTIALLY

Programmatic SEO

Generate thousands of SEO-optimized pages automatically

Using Claude Code + structured data files + Next.js, I build systems that create and rank hundreds or thousands of pages targeting long-tail keywords. Like HonestDoor's 14 million property pages. Or HashBuilds' 56+ pattern pages that rank individually.

What Is Programmatic SEO?

The Problem

You have valuable data - product catalogs, service areas, property listings, job postings, directories. Each could be its own landing page targeting specific keywords. But manually creating thousands of pages is impossible.

Traditional SEO means writing every page by hand. That caps you at maybe 50-100 pages. You miss out on thousands of long-tail keyword opportunities.

The Solution

Programmatic SEO uses templates + data to automatically generate thousands of unique, SEO-optimized pages. Each page targets specific long-tail keywords, has unique content, and is discoverable by Google.

One template × 10,000 data points = 10,000 indexed pages ranking for different keywords.

Traditional SEO

  • ×Write each page manually
  • ×Caps at 50-100 pages realistically
  • ×Miss long-tail opportunities
  • ×Slow, expensive, doesn't scale

Programmatic SEO

  • Build template once, generate thousands
  • Scale to millions of pages
  • Capture every long-tail keyword
  • Fast, scalable, cost-effective

How to Get Found in LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity)

The future of search isn't just Google - it's AI assistants. Programmatic SEO positions your content to be referenced, cited, and recommended by LLMs.

Why LLMs Love Programmatic Content

Large Language Models are trained on web content. The more structured, well-organized, and comprehensive your content is, the more likely it is to be included in their training data and retrievable through RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems.

Structured Data = AI-Readable

Programmatic pages have consistent structure, clear headings, and semantic HTML. This makes them easy for LLMs to parse, understand, and reference accurately when answering user questions.

Comprehensive Coverage

When you have pages for every variation (every product, every location, every use case), you become the authoritative source. LLMs cite authoritative, comprehensive sources.

Citeable References

Each programmatic page has a unique URL that LLMs can cite. When users ask "find me X in Y", the LLM can point to your specific page with that exact information.

Fresh, Updated Data

RAG systems fetch real-time web content. Your programmatically updated pages ensure LLMs always reference your latest data, not outdated information from their training cutoff.

Real Example: LLM Discovery

When someone asks ChatGPT: "What are the best brutalist design patterns for web apps?"

Without Programmatic SEO:

ChatGPT gives a generic answer based on training data, with no specific resources or modern examples.

With Programmatic SEO:

ChatGPT references HashBuilds' brutalism pattern page directly: "According to hashbuilds.com/patterns/brutalism, brutalist design emphasizes raw, unpolished aesthetics with exposed structure..."

Your page gets cited, you get traffic, you build authority.

Optimizing for LLM Visibility

When I build programmatic SEO systems, I optimize specifically for LLM discoverability:

  • 1

    Clear, Descriptive Titles

    Every page has a unique, descriptive title that signals exactly what content is on that page.

  • 2

    Semantic HTML Structure

    Proper heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3), lists, and semantic tags make content easy for AI to parse and understand.

  • 3

    Schema Markup

    Structured data tells LLMs exactly what each piece of content represents (product, service, location, review, etc.)

  • 4

    Comprehensive Meta Descriptions

    Each page has a unique meta description summarizing the content - perfect for LLM snippets and citations.

  • 5

    Internal Knowledge Graph

    Strategic internal linking creates a knowledge graph that LLMs can traverse to understand relationships between topics.

The Competitive Advantage

Right now, most businesses are optimizing for Google alone. But search behavior is shifting fast:

of search & discovery

Programmatic SEO positions you for both traditional Google search AND LLM discovery. You're building assets that work today and will dominate tomorrow's AI-first search landscape.

Live Example: This Website

HashBuilds itself is a programmatic SEO machine. Every design pattern is a data point that generates its own SEO-optimized page.

How It Works Here

Step 1: Data File

I maintain a patterns.md file with 56+ design patterns. Each pattern has metadata: name, description, use cases, keywords.

## Brutalism Keywords: brutalist design, raw aesthetics Description: Raw, unpolished...
Step 2: Template

One Next.js dynamic route: /patterns/[slug]. This template renders any pattern by reading the data file.

Step 3: Generation

Next.js automatically creates 56+ individual pages at build time. Each one is:

  • Uniquely optimized for that pattern's keywords
  • Server-rendered for instant indexing
  • Automatically added to sitemap
Result

56+ pages ranking for terms like "brutalist design pattern", "glassmorphism UI", "cyberpunk aesthetic". Adding a new pattern to the .md file? New page generated instantly.

The Power of This Approach

Pattern pages auto-generated from one template

Keyword Coverage

Each pattern page ranks for multiple related keywords:

  • • "brutalism design pattern"
  • • "brutalist ui examples"
  • • "raw aesthetic web design"
  • • "brutalism typography"

56 patterns × 4-5 keyword variations each = 200+ keyword targets

Common Questions

Will Google penalize me for programmatic SEO?

No - if done correctly. Google penalizes thin, duplicate content. Programmatic SEO done right creates unique, valuable pages. Each page must have substantial, unique content and serve a user need. I ensure every page passes Google's quality guidelines.

How long until pages start ranking?

Initial indexing happens within days. Ranking depends on domain authority and competition. New sites: 3-6 months. Established sites with authority: 2-8 weeks for long-tail keywords to start ranking.

What data do I need to have?

Any structured data works: product catalogs, location lists, service offerings, user-generated content. If you have it in a spreadsheet, database, or API, I can build pages from it. Even unstructured data can work - I'll help organize it.

Can I add new pages after launch?

Absolutely. That's the power of this system. Add a row to your data source, redeploy, and a new page appears. No manual coding needed. You can scale from 100 to 10,000 pages without rebuilding.

What if my data changes?

Pages update automatically on redeploy. If product pricing changes or locations update, the system regenerates affected pages. You can set up webhooks for automatic updates, or redeploy manually when data changes.

How is this different from AI content farms?

AI content farms create thin, low-quality content at scale. Programmatic SEO creates pages based on real data your business already has. Each page serves a genuine user need and provides unique value. Google loves this when done right.

Scale Your SEO Exponentially

Stop creating pages one by one. Build a system that generates thousands.
