Store platforms as an array per game (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Switch). List mapping renders them as a structured list. For platform-specific URLs (store links per platform), store an array of objects with platform name and URL, and list mapping handles both fields together. Cross-platform releases stay clean because every page reads from the same source.

Yes. Add an editions array per game with edition name, release year, and contents per edition. List mapping renders each edition as its own block on the page. GOTY editions, complete editions, and definitive editions all represent as separate edition entries linked to the base game.

No. Store links typically point to Steam, GOG, or platform stores. Store the URLs in the sheet alongside platform name, and selector or list mappings render store buttons on the page with proper outbound links. Pricing and availability stay with the store; SleekRank handles only the info page.

Yes. Each generated URL is added to the SleekRank sitemap. The base template is excluded and noindexed. Game queries are seasonal but evergreen across years, which makes a deep game catalog rewarding to maintain. Submit the sitemap in Search Console and new game pages get crawled within hours of cache flush.

Yes. A meta mapping pointing at a JSON-LD script tag produces full VideoGame schema per page, with name, gamePlatform, applicationCategory, datePublished, and author fields drawn from the row. Google's knowledge panels and rich results draw on this for richer search presentation.

Add an updates array (patch number, release date, notes) and a dlc array (name, release date, contents) per game. List mappings render each block on the game page. For frequently updated live-service games, refresh the sheet weekly; cache duration controls how fresh the live page reads without expensive rebuilds.

Yes. Maintain developer and publisher slugs per game. Run a separate developer page group keyed off the same sheet that lists every game with a matching developer. Selector and list mappings render the studio's catalog automatically. SleekRank renders both per-game and per-studio surfaces from one source.

Add a review_scores array (source, score, URL) updated on a schedule. List mapping renders each score with its source. Cache duration controls freshness. For sites that aggregate their own scores, pull from a CMS-driven custom post type and use a CPT data source instead of a sheet.
