Programmatic SEO
Template-based content generation at scale
Programmatic SEO lets you generate content at scale using templates with variable patterns. Create a template once, define your variables, and Wyrote generates unique articles for each combination — perfect for location pages, comparison articles, and other repeatable content patterns.
Accessing Programmatic SEO
Click Programmatic in the sidebar navigation, or find it in the Add-ons page.
What Is Programmatic SEO?
Programmatic SEO is a strategy where you create many pages targeting similar keyword patterns. Instead of writing each article individually, you define a template pattern and Wyrote generates unique content for each variation.
Common Use Cases
- Location pages: "[Service] in [City]" → "Web Design in Austin", "Web Design in Chicago", etc.
- Comparison pages: "[Product] vs [Competitor]" → "Wyrote vs Jasper", "Wyrote vs Surfer SEO", etc.
- Pricing pages: "[Service] Pricing Guide for [Industry]"
- Integration pages: "[Product] + [Integration] Guide"
- How-to pages: "How to [Action] with [Tool]"
Creating a Template
Click Create Template to start the multi-step wizard:
Step 1: Select Offering
Choose which offering this template belongs to. All generated articles will be associated with this offering.
Step 2: Choose Method
Two options:
AI Suggestions (Recommended)
- Select AI Suggestions.
- Wyrote analyzes your offering and generates 5+ template patterns.
- Each suggestion includes a pattern (e.g.,
{city} + {service} pricing) with example titles. - Select one of the suggestions.
Custom Template
- Select Custom Template.
- Enter a template name (e.g., "City Service Pages").
- Define your variable pattern using curly braces (e.g.,
{city}). - Enter variable values — one per line (e.g., a list of cities).
Step 3: Variable Values
Review and edit the list of variable values:
- Add new values (one per line)
- Remove values you don't need
- The total number of values determines how many articles will be generated
Step 4: Title Variants
Configure how titles are generated:
- Max title length — Character limit for generated titles
- Forbidden words — Words that should never appear in titles
- Always include variable — Whether the variable value must appear in every title
Wyrote generates title variants automatically based on your configuration.

How Programmatic Content Is Generated
Each variable value creates a separate article that goes through the same content generation pipeline as regular content:
- Research phase uses the specific variable value for SERP data
- The outline is tailored to the variable context
- Section writing produces unique content for each variation
- All subsequent stages (enrichment, humanization, editing) run normally
This means every article is unique — not just a find-and-replace of templates.
Best Practices
- Start small — Test with 5–10 variable values before scaling to hundreds.
- Choose high-value patterns — Pick patterns where each variation has real search volume.
- Use AI suggestions — The AI understands your offering and suggests patterns with SEO potential.
- Review generated content — Spot-check articles from the template to ensure quality.
- Avoid thin content — Each generated article should provide genuine value for the specific variable.
