Programmatic SEO Template Inspector

About

🔍 PSEO Template Inspector – Analyze Programmatic SEO Content Patterns

The PSEO Template Inspector helps SEO professionals, content strategists, and technical marketers detect programmatic SEO structures directly on any web page.

It identifies whether a section of content is dynamically generated or static, extracts placeholder patterns like {city}, {category}, {number}, {currency}, and creates a template version of the analyzed text — helping SEOs audit large-scale programmatic content deployments with precision.

⚙️ What It Does

The extension inspects visible content on a web page to:

Detect and label dynamic text variables used in programmatic SEO templates.

Highlight entities like:

{url_segment_1}, {url_word}, {h1}, {title}, {breadcrumb_1}

{number}, {currency_amount}, {percent}, {date}

Identify the static vs. dynamic split within any content block.

Generate a clean template preview that represents the content’s programmatic structure.

Display the CSS path of the analyzed section for reference or debugging.

Show verdicts such as “Looks programmatic,” “No dynamic values,” or “Possibly static.”

🧭 SEO Use Cases

Programmatic SEO audits – Detect whether a page’s content is dynamically generated using location, product, or category tokens.

Template mapping – Understand how copy and headings change across templated pages.

Competitor content analysis – Study at scale how other brands structure their city or product templates.

Content quality checks – Identify sections with low dynamic diversity or repetitive placeholders.

Scaling validation – Test new programmatic builds before rollout to ensure template logic renders correctly.

URL pattern insights – Extract dynamic URL segments used for programmatic targeting (/hotels-in-{city}, /best-{keyword}-tools/, etc.).

💡 How It Works

Once activated from the Chrome toolbar:

Click any text area or container on a page.

The extension automatically inspects that DOM section (like a <section> or <article>).

It parses the visible content, replaces dynamic entities with placeholders, and scores how programmatic the block appears.

A sidebar widget displays:

CSS path of the selected container

Word count, placeholders count, and verdict

Detected variable list

The generated content template

You can copy both the template and CSS selector for documentation or analysis.

🧩 Interaction Modes

Click-to-Analyze – One click analyzes any section.

Hover + Click (Alt + P) – Enables visual selection with a blue outline.

Use Text Selection – Highlight text manually, then click “Use text selection.”
