This article delves into programmatic SEO, highlighting its ability to efficiently generate thousands of SEO-optimized pages at once. Area Ten breaks down the balance between targeting head and longtail keywords, the importance of relevant, compliant content, and innovative deployment methods.
With insights from Area Ten’s proprietary technology, CMAX™, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of this game-changing approach to SEO.
You may have already read through endless articles in your programmatic SEO research and feel that you’re truly ready to implement it for your website. But you clicked on this article for a reason.
There are still things you should know about—things that can become the difference between a mediocre strategy and a groundbreaking one. Read along and allow us at Area Ten to be your guiding light.
At the heart of any SEO strategy is the pressing need for businesses to rank their websites. The key to doing that? Keywords.
But given the fierce competition, it’s no longer sufficient to rank for just a handful of keywords. Businesses are now compelled to target not just hundreds but potentially thousands of keywords to ensure they capture the vast spectrum of user queries.
However, herein lies another challenge: crafting content for each of these keywords manually takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money.
This is where programmatic SEO steps in as a game-changer. It employs automated tools, aiming to bypass the traditionally sluggish SEO process. It allows businesses to craft content on an unprecedented scale, potentially spanning thousands or even millions of iterations.
Sounds straightforward and effective, right? Because it is. However, there are lesser-known facts that can make or break your programmatic SEO strategies.
Here’s the first one:
Programmatic SEO is a game-changer, enabling businesses to target an expansive array of keywords for a comprehensive online presence. But let’s break this down a bit.
First, there are head terms. These are the high-volume keywords that often come with fierce competition. They’re the big fish in the SEO ocean, offering substantial traffic potential but often demanding significant resources to rank prominently.
Then, there are the longtail keywords—specific, often multi-word search queries. While they might not boast the same search volumes as head terms, they’re goldmines of stronger buyer intent. Their specificity often translates to higher conversion rates, making them invaluable for businesses aiming to capture a niche audience.
Now, here’s the kicker: with programmatic SEO, you should not be forced to pick a side. At Area Ten, we’ve mastered the art of balancing both.
Our Full Body SEO approach ensures that while you’re vying for dominance with head terms, you’re also casting a wide net to capture the myriad opportunities presented by longtail terms.
In essence, you’re not just amplifying your brand but ensuring a holistic presence across the search spectrum, reaching every nook and cranny of your target audience.
But that’s just the beginning of an effective strategy. How you create content for each of these high-potential keywords is another task. This leads us to our next fact.
A generic programmatic SEO approach, which solely relies on AI to generate content, can miss the nuances and unique considerations of your industry. Why?
While AI is powerful, it lacks the human touch, the ability to truly resonate with an audience, to understand the intricacies of brand voice, or to navigate the complexities of regulatory and legal compliance.
This is where the challenge emerges. Ensuring that the vast amount of content generated not only complies with standards but actually converts.
At Area Ten, we’ve crafted a solution that marries the best of both worlds. Our programmatic SEO strategy is human-guided. Our skilled writers collaborate with our clients to create foundational content pieces. Once approved, this content becomes the training data for our proprietary technology, CMAX. The result? Thousands of pieces of content that does the following:
Now, we’ve set the records straight on keyword optimization and content generation. How about publishing?
Many programmatic SEO strategies lean heavily on CMS tools. When done properly, these strategies may be effective, but they aren’t the only game in town.
At Area Ten, we use a method that sidesteps the CMS entirely.
Instead of housing content within your site’s CMS, the content you’ll see at the bottom of your site pages is deployed through a JavaScript-based system.
This means there’s zero impact on your site’s loading time. We’ve optimized our code for speed, ensuring that search engines like Google can index it without a hitch.
Moreover, this makes the implementation of our programmatic SEO swift. With CMAX, the technical side of things boils down to adding a straightforward piece of code to the pages you’re optimizing. Typically, this entire process takes a mere four to six weeks.
We know what you think “Why should I care about how the content is published?”
Because you can’t just publish your content, forget about it, and expect to grow your traffic continuously. You need a deployment strategy that gives you the flexibility to control your programmatic content in the future without the complexities. Interested as to why? Read along.
In the ever-evolving world of SEO, Google’s algorithm updates are a constant. These aren’t rare events; they’re frequent, significant shifts that can throw off even the most meticulously crafted programmatic content strategies.
The daunting question for many is: How can one ensure that today’s programmatic content remains effective months down the line?
Manual updates across thousands of pages are impossible. By the time one set of updates is complete, another algorithm change might be on the horizon, leaving you perpetually playing catch-up.
CMAX offers a dynamic solution. It performs real-world testing on the page level to know what works and what doesn’t, and shares insights across our entire programmatic portfolio for continuous performance improvement.
But instead of merely providing insights and recommendations, our proprietary technology goes a step further.
It automates the execution of SEO strategies, ensuring content remains optimized in real time. Think of it as an ant colony, where each page learns and adapts based on its performance and the collective insights of our entire programmatic portfolio.
In essence, as search engine algorithms change, the content evolves alongside them. With CMAX, there’s no need for constant manual tweaks. If a segment of your content starts to lag, the rest recalibrates, ensuring all pages work in harmony for optimal performance.
The digital landscape is rife with the buzz of backlinking as a primary method to build domain authority. While backlinks have been a popular technique, their effectiveness is often overstated.
At Area Ten, we challenge this conventional wisdom. We pivot our focus to onsite variables, primarily content, which has a profound impact on SEO performance.
Moreover, our programmatic SEO platform harnesses innovative software, allowing our clients to cultivate authority using methods that transcend traditional link-building. We emphasize content that not only ranks but also amplifies your brand’s reach, setting a new paradigm in your SEO approach.
Now, let us sidestep a bit and talk about internal links. They play a pivotal role in SEO. They provide context, build relevance, and guide search engines in ranking pages.
With the rise of programmatic SEO, the significance of cross-linking is further magnified. Each piece of content must seamlessly integrate into the digital ecosystem, and cross-linking ensures this integration is both precise and purposeful.
At Area Ten, we delve deep into the potential of internal links. Through consultations, we identify potential internal link opportunities within your programmatic content.
Furthermore, CMAX dynamically crafts topic clusters by smartly interlinking content. This bolsters rankings and streamlines the journey for both search engines and users, ensuring they find the most relevant content on your site.
The allure of programmatic SEO isn’t reserved solely for the titans of the industry. In fact, the challenges that large businesses face in SEO—striving for higher rankings and outpacing competitors—are even more pronounced for startups. These budding businesses often grapple with scaling their SEO strategies, especially when resources are scant.
Our From Zero to One journey at Area Ten is a testament to this. We’ve not only ventured but thrived in the realm of business creation from the ground up, catapulting them to multimillion-dollar valuations.
Our track record speaks volumes: seven startups nurtured, with six breaching the $1 million revenue mark from a standing start in under 16 months. Five of these have further soared, becoming multimillion-dollar enterprises.
With all this being said, you may already be wondering “What’s left for me to do?”
Programmatic SEO isn’t a robotic takeover of your human efforts; it’s a powerful ally. It’s about harnessing cutting-edge technology to complement and amplify your existing strategies, not replace you in the process.
The real magic happens when human intuition and strategy merge with the precision and scale of automation.
At Area Ten, we understand the value of this synergy. By integrating programmatic SEO, we liberate you from the time-consuming intricacies of conventional SEO, allowing you to channel your energy into higher-level challenges and strategic refinements.
These case studies show how we’ve transformed two businesses by knowing and acting upon these facts at Area Ten.
Elevating the Brand of a Gourmet Food Delivery Service in the US
In the competitive US market for gourmet food delivery, our client faced challenges with visibility and engagement despite their high-quality offerings. While their existing content was informative, it wasn’t effectively targeting key terms, leading to missed opportunities for organic traffic growth.
To address this, we developed a customized strategy that not only aimed to make a significant impact in the broader US market but also incorporated a local SEO flavor of programmatic content. This involved creating hyper-localized content that embeds relevant points of interest, such as surrounding towns, popular shops, and even restaurants, offering stronger local targeting.
The first step was to identify and target key money terms that resonated with potential customers. The content was then re-optimized and expanded around these terms to maximize engagement with the US user base. Simultaneously, we leveraged CMAX to create over 1,000 programmatic pages targeting longtail terms related to gourmet food delivery, as well as hyper-localized content for stronger local targeting.
This multi-faceted approach allowed the client to engage niche segments within the US market, driving highly targeted, quality traffic to their website.
