E830: We break down Pieter Levels’ programmatic SEO strategy - the approach behind his projects like RemoteOK, NomadList, PhotoAI, and InteriorAI.

Most people who try programmatic SEO end up creating thousands of low-value pages that add no real benefit for users. Those pages waste crawl budget, bloat the site, and often end up damaging overall SEO performance. Pieter Levels took a completely different approach. His pages are unique, valuable, and directly useful for what people are searching for.

We cover:
- Why most programmatic SEO fails
- The “usefulness” factor that makes Pieter’s pages rank
- The connection between audience engagement, backlinks, and domain authority
- How to scale programmatic SEO safely

If you’re thinking about doing programmatic SEO yourself, start small, focus on value, and make sure you have engagement and links in place before scaling. Growing too quickly with weak pages can set you back much more than it helps.

This discussion is a reminder of what makes search engine optimization interesting: when done thoughtfully, it scales useful content to meet real needs.
