No. SleekRank only reads the sources you point it at: Google Sheets, CSV, JSON, REST, or Notion. Track current prices and configs in your sheet, set a cache duration like 86400 seconds, and pages refresh on the next cycle. If you need live pricing you can pipe a price API through a JSON file and SleekRank will read that.

Yes. Define two page groups with different urlPattern values pointing at the same source. The per-model group reads single-laptop columns, the matchup group reads paired columns with shared metadata. Both render through the comparison template, so styling stays in sync.

Append a row with the new slug, CPU tier, battery hours, weight, and any updated verdict copy. After the configured cacheDuration elapses, or after you run wp db query to clear the items table, the new /laptops/{slug}/ resolves and lands in the sitemap on the next rewrite flush.

Yes. Carry a ports column with pipe- or newline-separated values like "USB-C\|HDMI\|MagSafe" and target it with a list mapping at a ul or ol selector. Each entry renders as a list item, so port tables stay consistent across every model page.

Yes. SleekRank exposes every generated URL in its own sitemap and auto-noindexes the base template page. Submit the sitemap in Search Console and the per-model and matchup pages get crawled like any other indexable WordPress page.

Yes. The simplest path is a meta mapping pointing at og:image, fed from a row column with the image URL. For dynamic per-model OG images, pair with SleekPixel and use a templated suffix so /laptops/m3-macbook-air-vs-pro/ gets its own preview without manual asset work.

Either carry one row per configuration with slugs like m3-macbook-air-15-base and m3-macbook-air-15-pro-chip, or keep a configurations column with pipe-separated specs and render it as a list. The first approach gets each config its own URL; the second keeps them on a parent model page.

Hide or remove the row, flush the cache, and the URL stops resolving. If the page had backlinks, set up a 301 to a successor model via your redirect plugin. Keeping a status column flagging "current", "end-of-life", or "discontinued" makes audits easier as the catalog grows.
