Creating Programmatic SEO Pages with Strapi and Next.js

[noahflk]

What is your article idea?

This article will be a tutorial on how to build programmatic SEO pages (pSSO) using Strapi and Next.js. This approach enables websites to rank on Google by displaying human-written content on automatically generated pages.

We will highlight the powerful features of Strapi for storing content and how to seamlessly integrate it with Next.js to dynamically render SEO pages. We will use the example of a real estate company that manages its property listings in Strapi. We will then use the Strapi API and Next.js to generate various pages, such as:

• All listings in a town
• Apartments in a town
• Houses in a town

This makes sense @noahflk ,

Do you plan on also discussing the downsides or risks associated with pSEO?

[noahflk]

Sorry for the late response, somehow didn't get pinged on this issue!

Yes, I can add a chapter "Downsides of pSSO" to the introduction. In there I'd talk about quality control issues since content is generated automatically and mistakes can happen.

What do you think @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku ?

Thank you!
