Added descriptive H1s.
Silliest things imaginable, but the domain exploded in no time.

GuestJanuary 18, 2026 at 3:04 amHad two versions of a site, one in Spanish one in English, google recognized them as duplicates. I took over the program and implemented the href lang tag, and made sure the was based in the correct location (mexico) site went from low conversions to a 140% increase fairly quickly. Traffic moved quickly in a few weeks. I noticed the tags were missing in the first week, i was given the site because it was in need of help.

GuestJanuary 18, 2026 at 4:40 amProgrammatic pages can lead you 2x traffic in a month. But the condition is that your website is well regarded by search but you never had proper clusters or pages and programmatic pages for your niche make 100% sense as you have api driven context and unique value for each page. I was working for an OTT platform and movie section was revamped and we scaled traffic from 1.2 Million to 2.7 Million in a month. Just pure movie clusters, silos through backend APIs.
Options which you have mentioned – I would say indexing, cannibalization issues sometimes gives you faster issues.
