Yes. SleekRank renders the landing page; gating happens at the destination. Add a form_id or gated_url column and swap the direct download button for an embedded HubSpot, ConvertKit, or Gravity Forms block on rows where gating is enabled. The form delivers the PDF after submission, the same flow you already use, just driven from a row.

Add Book JSON-LD to the base page once and inject name, author, image, isbn, numberOfPages, datePublished, and bookFormat via meta and selector mappings sourced from the row. Every /ebooks/{slug}/ ships valid Book schema automatically because both visible content and JSON-LD read from the same columns. Validate one URL with the Rich Results Test.

SleekRank doesn't run analytics itself. Use your existing analytics tool's outbound link or button-click tracking on the download CTA. Aggregate per-title download counts into a popularity column updated periodically, then sort the library index by that column to surface most-downloaded titles. Conversion tracking lives wherever your form gating already lives.

Add a sample_chapter_url column pointing at a PDF or a hosted-text page. Map it to a Read sample button on the landing page that opens the asset in a new tab. For full-text samples, render a sample_chapter_html column inside a collapsible details block, so the sample is indexable as part of the landing page itself.

Yes. Add a category column and let sleekRankRelatedEntries() surface other titles in the same category in a sidebar or footer grid. For explicit pairings (sequels, prequels, companion volumes) add a related_slugs column with comma-separated values that maps to a list of links pointed at /ebooks/{slug}/.

Carry a version and last_updated column. When you ship a new edition, edit the columns, swap the cover URL if it changed, and flush the cache. The landing page reflects the new edition stamp. For major rewrites that warrant a new ranking, create a new row with a versioned slug and 301 the old URL, that signals freshness to search engines without losing existing links.

Yes. Add a price column and a buy_url pointing at your checkout (Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Gumroad, EDD). Render the buy button instead of a download CTA when price is set. Mixed libraries with free and paid titles work cleanly: free titles render the form-gated download, paid titles render the buy button, all from the same source and template.

No, and intentionally. Keep PDFs on Drive, S3, Cloudflare R2, or your gating platform's delivery system. SleekRank stores only the URL in the row, so swapping hosts later is a column rewrite, not a media library migration. WordPress media library bloat from hundreds of multi-megabyte PDFs is one of the failure modes a structured catalog avoids.
