SleekRank for chord progressions by key
Maintain a JSON file or sheet of progressions tagged by key and mode. SleekRank generates one page per key at /progressions/key/{slug}/ with Roman numeral patterns, chord voicings, audio embeds, and a related-keys grid driven by your source data.

Music theory sites earn rankings by covering every key, not just C major
Search demand for chord progressions splits across 24 keys and a half dozen modes. A site that publishes a page for the I-V-vi-IV progression in C major and stops there leaves 23 indexable URLs on the table. The pages that rank cover every key, link cleanly to one another, and ship with audio examples per voicing.
SleekRank reads one row per key from your sheet or JSON file and produces an indexable URL like /progressions/key/d-minor/. The same row drives the headline, the Roman numeral table, the list of common progressions, the related-keys grid, and the OG card. Add a key, and the URL goes live on the next cache refresh.
The list-mapping pattern handles the variable-length lists of progressions and voicings. Store the progressions as a JSON array column in the source, store each chord's voicings as a nested array, and SleekRank renders them all into the base page's progression and voicing blocks. Cross-link by mode, by tonal center, by relative key with three more meta columns.
Workflow
From a sheet of progressions to a live theory library
Define the key data shape
Wire the URL pattern
/progressions/key/{slug}/ as the URL pattern, point at the sheet or JSON file, and pick a base page that holds the Roman numeral display, progression block, and related-keys grid.
Map fields into the template
Ship and expand
Data in, pages out
One row per key, progressions live as JSON arrays
Key name, mode, relative key, and a progressions array sit in one row. List mappings render the progression blocks, meta mappings drive the schema and meta tags.
| slug | key_name | mode | relative_key | progression_count |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| c-major | C major | Ionian | A minor | 24 |
| a-minor | A minor | Aeolian | C major | 22 |
| g-major | G major | Ionian | E minor | 20 |
| e-flat-major | E-flat major | Ionian | C minor | 18 |
| d-dorian | D dorian | Dorian | C major | 16 |

Comparison
Hand-written key pages vs SleekRank
Hand-written music theory posts
- Every key is a hand-typed post with manually drawn Roman numeral tables
- Voicing diagrams drift visually as the corpus grows past a dozen keys
- Updating a common progression list means touching every related post
- Cross-links to the relative key are easy to miss and easy to break
- Coverage stalls at 5 popular keys; 19 obscure keys never ship
- Schema markup for music education content is rarely consistent
SleekRank
-
One row per key drives a full theory page at
/progressions/key/{slug}/ - Progressions stored as JSON arrays render via list mappings
-
relative_keycolumn powers the cross-link to the matching minor/major - Mode column groups Ionian, Dorian, Aeolian into clean cluster archives
-
Audio embeds keyed off a
sample_urlcolumn per row - Add a new mode or microtonal key by appending one row to the sheet
Features
What SleekRank gives you for Chord progressions by key
List mappings for progression sets
Store each common progression as an element of a JSON array column. SleekRank renders them into the base page's progression block via a list mapping, keeping the Roman numeral notation consistent across the entire 24-key corpus.
Relative-key cross-links
A single relative_key column powers a cross-link from every major page to its corresponding minor, and vice versa. The internal-linking graph builds itself out of one column of data, no editorial work needed.
Audio samples per voicing
Add a sample_url field for each voicing. The template embeds a player on every page, sourced from your sheet. Update a sample by editing the URL in the row; the embed updates on the next cache refresh.
Use cases
Who runs progression libraries on SleekRank
Music theory educators
Move from a hand-built C major page to a comprehensive site covering every key and mode. Same editor, full coverage, consistent Roman numeral conventions on every page, and a clean canonical for each key.
Songwriting tutorial sites
Pair each key page with a sample chord progression for the genre your audience writes in. The same sheet column drives both pop and jazz variant pages via separate URL patterns over shared key data.
Worship and choral arrangement libraries
Publish per-key arrangement pages tied to your hymn or choral repertoire. Each key page lists the songs in your catalog in that key, automatically updated when new arrangements land in the source sheet.
The bigger picture
Why music theory libraries earn rankings on coverage
Music theory search demand is highly long-tail. Players search for chord progressions in E-flat minor at midnight before a session, for the Mixolydian mode at the start of a jazz lesson, for the relative minor of A-flat major during songwriting. A site that covers only the common keys captures a slice of that demand.
A site that covers every key and every mode captures the full surface. The cost of coverage is the gating factor. With hand-built posts, expanding past the seven white-key major scales takes weeks per page because the Roman numeral notation, the voicing diagrams, and the audio samples all need consistent formatting.
SleekRank collapses that cost to one row per key. The template handles the rendering; the data handles the content. The cross-link graph builds itself out of the relative_key and mode columns.
Every page reinforces every other page through the related-keys grid, and the entire site clusters into a tight topical authority signal. That clustering is what music theory queries reward, and it cannot be reproduced at scale through manual publishing.
Questions
Common questions about SleekRank for Chord progressions by key
Yes. Add a row for Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, or Locrian, and the page generates at the slug you provide. The same template handles any number of modes because everything is data-driven, including the Roman numeral display.
 The base page holds the voicing diagram component once. SleekRank passes the chord names from your row into that component on every page, so the diagrams render identically across all 24 keys. A change to the component updates the whole corpus instantly.
 Yes. The chord names, audio samples, common progressions, and example songs all change per row. The chrome is shared but the body is unique per key. Search engines treat each page as a distinct entity because the data is genuinely different.
 Yes. Add a row with the appropriate slug and field values. The Roman numeral display assumes a seven-degree scale by default but can be configured to render any number of degrees by adjusting the template list mapping bound to the degrees column.
 
Add a relative_key or parallel_key column to your source. The template includes a related-keys section that uses those columns to render cross-links. Adding a new key automatically slots into the existing graph on the next refresh.
Yes. Store the sample URL in a column and map it to the audio player block in the base page. Hosts like Soundslice, Soundcloud, or self-hosted MP3 all work; the renderer treats the URL as a string and the template handles the embed markup.
 Both work. SleekRank does not throttle URL counts; you can ship all 24 keys on day one. Some teams prefer a gradual rollout to monitor indexing, but the platform handles either approach with no configuration change.
 The old URL stops resolving and the new URL starts. If indexing is in play, add a 301 redirect at the WordPress level from the old slug to the new one. Treat slug renames as you would for any WordPress post move.
