A baseline pass on the mini-task ('one page per job title, swap the title in the H1') walks straight into the exact anti-pattern the skill names as mistake #1 in its own Common Mistakes list -- the skill instead forces proprietary-data differentiation and a thin-content pre-launch checklist before any pages ship.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Programmatic SEO does

Guides building SEO page sets from templates and data across 12 named patterns (templates, curation, conversions, comparisons, locations, personas, integrations, glossary, translations, directory, profiles), enforcing unique-value-per-page, a proprietary-over-public data-defensibility hierarchy, subfolder (not subdomain) URL structure, and a pre-launch thin-content checklist. Triggers on 'pages at scale,' directory/location pages, and templated landing-page requests; explicitly hands off to seo-audit for auditing after launch and schema for structured data.
