Your inputs
Drag a slider or type directly into a field.
How many programmatic pages you plan to ship.
Realistic long-tail pages sit between 5–50 clicks.
Visitor → customer or qualified lead.
Revenue per conversion.
All-in: data, template, QA, editorial.
Google typically indexes and ranks over 3–9 months.
Conservative by design
The calculator assumes steady-state clicks per page — it doesn't front-load pre-ramp traffic. Year-one revenue accounts for indexing and ranking delay via your ramp input.
Long-tail programmatic pages typically earn 5–30 clicks/month. Reserve 50+ for tools with strong templates and rich data.
All-in: data acquisition, template engineering, editorial QA, and internal linking. Studios usually land at $20–80.
Google needs time to crawl, index, and trust a new page cluster. Six months is a healthy default.
Cut low-value pages before they ship. Thin templates suppress the whole cluster's rankings.
Turn the model into a program
Numbers on a page are the easy part. Shipping thousands of pages that actually rank takes disciplined data models, template design, and internal linking.
