Programmatic SEO is a crazy good growth opportunity

The first growth hacking thing we did in the early days of BCMS escalated in a totally different direction. It was so good that we almost pivoted, haha. Here's what we did: - Created programmatic SEO pages such as "The best CMS for job board website." - Published a "how-to" article about the process - The article became so popular - BCMS became the industry leader for Programmatic SEO 🤯 Our goal was only to identify interesting niches to write about. We made programmatic pages on topics like "The best {cms synonym} for {kind of website}." The idea was simple: if a page gets more traffic, we'll write more about that topic in the future. For example, "The best CMS for job board website" became quite popular, so we covered it in more articles. Knowing that BCMS was excellent for websites where teams want complete control over their code and content, we created 200+ pages tailored to more complex use cases. Visitors started coming, pages started ranking well for many keywords, and we secured a bunch of demos. But then... As we were happy with the results, we published an article with all the learnings along the way, which ranked so well that it made BCMS an industry leader for programmatic SEO 🤯. Totally unplanned. Now the article generates more visits than all the programmatic SEO pages together. The strategy obviously worked, but teaching others how to use BCMS for their programmatic SEO projects made it 10x more worthwhile. To learn how we use BCMS to publish programmatic SEO pages, here's the article mentioned above: https://thebcms.com/blog/programmatic-seo-complete-guide-with-examples?utm_source=producthunt&utm_medium=discussion&utm_campaign=programmatic-seo-guide What is your experience with Programmatic SEO?

Is yours a new domain? I wonder how long it took before your pages started getting indexed

@michael_cho1 It was a fairly new domain. It took 3-4 weeks for the first 10-20 pages to get indexed :)
