Client: U.S.-Based Gluten-Free Supplement Company
Industry: DTC / Nutraceuticals / Gut Health
Project: Full AREP SEO Process + Programmatic SEO Buildout
Role: Led technical audit, keyword research, pSEO architecture, content execution, and analytics
Goal: Capture commercial and informational traffic at scale via 3,000+ programmatic pages

 

🧭 Background

We initiated a 15-day AREP Process (Audit β†’ Research β†’ Execution β†’ Projection) for a gluten-support nutraceutical brand targeting U.S. audiences.

While the site had some foundational content, our audit revealed untapped scale opportunities in programmatic SEO β€” ideal for targeting gluten-related long-tail queries with commercial and informational intent.

Main Objectives:

Build 3,000+ high-quality programmatic pages targeting search demand

Structure content for quick indexing and long-term rankability

Drive organic clicks without increasing paid ad spend

 

πŸ” Phase 1 Audit Insights

🚫 Programmatic page issues: inconsistent meta, lack of internal links, thin content blocks
🌐 i18n Conflict: x-default set to Dutch while content targeted English-speaking U.S. audience
πŸ“¦ Google Merchant errors: missing structured data fields like review, aggregateRating, shippingDetails
🐒 Speed Issues: LCP failures across 25+ mobile URLs hindering core vitals

These were addressed early to ensure Google could properly crawl, index, and rank scaled content.

 

πŸ“Š Phase 2: Keyword Research & Opportunity Mapping

We started with high-buying-intent transactional keywords:

β€œanti gluten pills”

β€œgluten relief enzyme supplement”

β€œgluten digestion support capsules”

Then scaled into broader awareness and discovery terms:

β€œis gluten sensitivity real”

β€œtop gluten-free countries”

β€œgluten checker by brand”

Tools Used: Ahrefs, People Also Ask scraping, autocomplete mining, Reddit, Pinterest, competitor SERP back-engineering
πŸ“ Built 300+ clusters and topical maps β†’ mapped to unique URLs

 

βš™οΈ Phase 3 Execution: Launching 3,000+ Pages in 60 Days

We deployed a custom templating system optimized for both scale and SEO:

Dynamic H1s + SEO meta tags

Intent-based on-page structure: FAQs, CTAs, schema blocks, testimonials

Auto-injected breadcrumbs, internal links

Variants for informational vs. transactional content

Indexation safeguards (canonical logic, crawl budget control)
