Not directly. SleekRank reads from your data source. If your sheet pulls earning data from a partner API or an editorial verification process, those values flow through on the cache cycle. The render layer's job is to keep the rendered facts consistent across solo and pair pages.

Both page groups read from the chains sheet. The pairs group joins two rows at render time using a slug pair from a pairs sheet. A change to a chain row updates every page that references the chain, including per-chain, pair, and category roll-ups, after the cache window expires.

Define another page group with a different URL pattern, source from a brands sheet that includes parent_chain_slug. A /hotel-chain/{chain}/brands/{brand}/ pattern lets each brand have its own page nested under the chain. The brand page can pull the chain row by parent_chain_slug for breadcrumb and parent loyalty context.

Yes. Store elite tiers as an array column with name, threshold, and benefits list. Render via list mapping into a tier ladder. When a program updates a tier, edit the array entry, and every page that references the chain reflects the new benefits on the next cache flush. For mid-cycle changes, add a notice flag for a banner via selector mapping.

No. The verdict is yours, written in the sheet. SleekRank does not generate content, it injects content. For longer verdicts, store them in a separate JSON file keyed by chain slug and join at render time. The render layer is mechanical; the editorial layer is yours.

Yes. Map an image URL column to og:image with the meta type. Each per-chain page renders its own social card. Pairing with SleekPixel lets the OG image render dynamically from the row, overlaying chain name, properties count, and loyalty program logo on a styled background.

Update the brands array on the acquiring chain to include the acquired brands, and either remove the acquired chain row or set a status flag for absorbed. The template can render an acquired-by notice via selector mapping on the absorbed chain's page, with a link to the parent chain. Pair pages where the absorbed chain appears can fall back to the parent or stop generating.

Store award category mappings in a separate dataset keyed by chain and property, with effective date columns. The per-chain page can render a recent-changes block by joining the side dataset filtered to the last ninety days. Per-property pages, if you build them, render the current category from the row plus the recent change history as context.
