# Programmatic SEO Top 50 Backlog

Date: 2026-03-31
Project: QR Master
Purpose: Prioritized first-wave backlog for the new `comparison` and `guide` families plus adjacent high-fit commercial clusters.

## Scoring Model

Each URL idea is scored from `0-100`.

Weights:

- Commercial intent: `30`
- Product fit: `25`
- Differentiation potential: `15`
- Cluster leverage: `10`
- SERP winability: `10`
- Production effort: `10`

Interpretation:

- `90+`: ship immediately
- `85-89`: first-wave priority
- `80-84`: second-wave after initial measurement
- `<80`: hold until stronger cluster support exists

## Shipment Mix For First 50

Recommended composition:

- `15` comparison pages
- `15` guide pages
- `10` tool-job pages
- `10` industry-workflow or use-case pages

This keeps the first wave biased toward:

- bottom-funnel demand
- strong CTA fit
- cluster leverage into existing product pages

2. `/compare/free-vs-paid-qr-code-generator`
3. `/guide/how-to-track-qr-code-scans`

## Default Indexing Recommendation

Default to `index` only when:

- the page has a strong cluster position
- the CTA is specific and commercially coherent
- the page has distinct FAQs, workflow logic, and related links

Default to `hold` or `noindex` when:

- the page is still too close to an existing sibling
- the page has weak differentiation
- the cluster around it is not yet live
