Definition
Programmatic SEO (pSEO) is a strategy that involves automatically generating a large number of optimized web pages from databases and templates. The goal is to capture traffic on thousands of long-tail queries. Companies like Tripadvisor (city/hotel pages), Zapier (integration pages), and Nomadlist (city pages) use this approach. The success of pSEO depends on data quality, the unique value each page provides, and proper indexation management.
Key Points
- Each page must provide unique value, not duplicated content with swapped variables
- Crawl budget management is essential at high page volumes
- Internal linking between programmatic pages strengthens rankings
- Google can penalize low-quality pages generated in bulk

Frequently Asked Questions
The risk depends on quality. Generic pages without added value will be penalized. However, pages rich in unique and useful data (like a comprehensive glossary) are well-regarded by Google.
