SleekRank for archaeologists
Hand SleekRank a sheet of RPA-registered cultural resource management firms with the scopes they handle (Phase I survey, Section 106, NAGPRA, historic structure) and the states they work in. It builds one indexable WordPress page per firm plus per-scope and per-state hubs from one base template.

CRM buyers search by scope and state
A federal agency lead who needs Section 106 review does not type "archaeology firm". They type "RPA Section 106 consultant Arizona", "Phase I archaeological survey Texas", or "NAGPRA repatriation archaeologist Montana". The scope plus state combination drives both the contract and the report that goes to the SHPO.
SleekRank reads one Register of Professional Archaeologists roster and renders one indexable WordPress page per CRM firm using the existing site template. The same sheet feeds per-scope hubs for Phase I survey, Section 106, NAGPRA, historic structure, and underwater archaeology, plus per-state hubs across the work footprint. Each URL gets its own H1, RPA badge, and quote form.
Scope drift is what most archaeology directories get wrong. A firm drops underwater archaeology after staff leave and the page still claims it for months. With a service_scopes column driving the badge through a list mapping, the moment ops removes the scope every page that references it updates on the next cache refresh across the directory.

Comparison
Hand-built CRM posts vs roster directory
Hand-built WordPress pages
- Each new RPA firm means another hand-built page in the editor queue
- RPA registrations drift after disciplinary actions or lapses
- Per-scope hubs need a developer to add Section 106 or NAGPRA splits
- State-by-state SHPO lists require duplicate templates per jurisdiction
- Lab and curation facility status gets re-typed across listings
- Sitemap entries lag behind new firms joining the RPA registry
SleekRank
- One indexable page per CRM firm from a single RPA roster sheet
- Per scope and per state hubs from the same data source feed
- RPA registered and SHPO-listed badges update with one cell edit
- Works with the WordPress theme the directory already uses today
- Per-row og:image via SleekPixel showing scope and state
- Sitemap auto-includes every generated firm URL on the next build
Features
What SleekRank gives you for archaeologists
Page per CRM firm
Each row becomes a unique URL with firm name, scope list, RPA status, licensed states, curation facility, sample reports, and turnaround time mapped into the base WordPress page through tag and selector mappings on the template.
Per scope hubs
Phase I survey, Section 106, NAGPRA, historic structure, and underwater archaeology each get their own indexable hub fed from the same roster. List mappings render every firm handling that scope across the country with one base page.
Per state SHPO hubs
States like /archaeologists/arizona/ get their own indexable hub. List mappings render the RPA firms working in that jurisdiction across every scope. The same roster column drives the data on every page and every hub through one feed.
Use cases
Who builds archaeologist directories with SleekRank
Register of Professional Archaeologists
RPA publishes a public registry sourced from the membership database, with scope, state board listings, and continuing education tracked per firm row in the public member lookup tool.
Federal agency vendor portals
BLM, USFS, and USACE district offices publish prequalified CRM consultant lists per scope, with RPA status driving the badge on each firm page for Section 106 procurement officers and project managers.
Tribal historic preservation offices
Tribal historic preservation officers publish vetted CRM partner lists per region, with NAGPRA training and tribal consultation experience driving the badge on each firm page in the partner directory.
The bigger picture
Why CRM archaeology directories need per-row pages
Archaeology consulting buying is compliance-driven, registry-bound, and jurisdiction-specific. A federal agency PM who needs Section 106 review before next month's record of decision is not browsing a national archive of every CRM firm in the country. They want the page that says RPA registered and SHPO listed in Arizona, that lists three firms with Section 106 experience inside the BLM district, and that shows the curation facility their record management plan requires.
A single archive page filtered by query string cannot win those rankings because Google ranks pages, not parameters. Most directory plugins solve the wrong problem, they let users filter on the page but they do not let Google index the filtered view as a unique URL. SleekRank inverts that arrangement, every meaningful scope plus state combination is a real WordPress page with its own H1, RPA badge, schema, lead form, and content.
The RPA registry stays the source of truth, so when a firm adds NAGPRA training or lets a registration lapse, the badge appears or disappears on the personal page, the scope hub, and the state hub the moment ops edits the row.
Questions
Common questions about SleekRank for archaeologists
Yes. Define a URL pattern like /archaeologists/{scope}/{state}/ and SleekRank renders a page per combination from the sheet. Each combination gets its own H1, list of firms, and meta tags, which is what ranks for queries like Section 106 archaeologist Arizona or Phase I survey Texas on Google search results.
 Edit the rpa_status column to lapsed and flush the cache. The badge disappears from the firm page, the per-scope and per-state hubs drop the listing, and the sitemap regenerates on the next refresh. The roster stays the source of truth so the federal agency never books a Section 106 review from a lapsed RPA firm.
 Add a shpo_listed_states column that stores all states a firm appears on the state historic preservation office list. A list mapping renders the badge per state, and the same firm appears on every state hub where they hold SHPO listing without duplication in the directory.
 Each generated URL is a real WordPress page with full HTML and ships in the auto-generated XML sitemap. The base template page is auto-noindexed so it never competes with the children. Google treats each firm URL as a distinct page with its own canonical and Open Graph metadata across the directory.
 Yes. SleekRank uses an existing WordPress page as the template, so Bricks, Elementor, Gutenberg, Oxygen, and classic themes all render through the mapping layer. The directory design stays put, only the data source changes from manual edits to the RPA roster sheet for the public directory.
 Yes. Add a curation_facility column to the roster. A tag mapping injects the curation badge into the firm page, and a per-curation hub can publish /archaeologists/with-curation-facility/ filtered to firms that maintain federally accredited curation for projects requiring long-term storage of cultural materials.
 Delete the row from the sheet and flush the cache. The firm URL stops resolving and returns 404, the scope and state hubs update to omit them, and the sitemap regenerates on the next refresh. For rebrands, redirect the old slug to the new firm so any earned link equity is preserved.
 Yes. Instead of a static sheet, point the page group at the RPA membership endpoint with cacheDuration set to refresh weekly. Live registration status, fresh continuing education, and disciplinary actions propagate to the public directory without any manual sync from ops.
