Page groups with 2,000 to 10,000 generated URLs run cleanly on default hosting plans. The Contena + LinkedIn pool fits comfortably inside the practical limits for cache size and sitemap budget. The ceiling is your host's PHP memory and Google's crawl appetite for niche directories.

Yes. Attach the roster as one data source and a case study export as a second, both keyed by slug. SleekRank merges them per row so the bio comes from the roster and the verified ranking case studies come from the second source, with the editor only touching the right field.

Yes. Map a headshot or case study_cover column to a meta mapping targeting og:image and twitter:image. SleekRank rewrites the head tags per URL so each page shares with a real portrait or project cover on LinkedIn and Twitter rather than a generic site card.

Update status to retired and remove the row, or flip a flag that the template uses to swap the layout into an archive variant with the contact CTA hidden. The change propagates on the next cache refresh and sitemap entries drop cleanly so the URL stops competing for hiring queries.

Yes. Add a list mapping pointed at a JSON array. Each entry carries title, year, and cover image, and the mapping iterates them into your case study card grid. The same array can feed Schema.org CreativeWork entries inside the structured-data block on the page.

Not if the data layer carries the difference. Primary niche, content formats, and ranking case studies all vary per row, and the template should interpolate those into unique sentences rather than rendering identical boilerplate. The Contena + LinkedIn pool has enough specificity per SEO copywriter to clear the bar.

No. SleekRank automatically marks the base page as noindex and removes it from the sitemap. Only the generated child URLs surface to Google. The base page stays reachable in the WordPress admin for editors but never competes with its own children for the same query.

Commit the JSON change, run npm run fabrikat:push to SFTP the theme, then on prod run wp db query "DELETE FROM wp_319_sleek_rank_items" to clear the cache and wp rewrite flush --hard to register the new slugs. The new URLs go live after the four-step flow.
