Since migrating from a competitor to Flexpress in 2021, on-site affiliate revenue for one publishing group grew by more than 1,500% two years later.

#2: Schema-Enabled Blocks That Boost Website Audience
The Flexpress Web headless frontend uses React and a GraphQL API to improve page load time and Core Web Vital scores. Beyond the audience boon that comes with improved site performance, Flexpress offers several features to bring in new audiences.
3a: Schema-enabled pages and blocks
Search engines like Google rely on schema markup (sometimes called "structured data") to figure out what’s on a page and bring users to the most helpful content. Schema is essentially labels in the code that crawlers read to assess a page.
Schema can label post types (i.e., News Article, Tech Article, Advisor Content, Report) as well as blocks (i.e, Recipe, FAQ, How To, Tools & Materials).
Flexpress comes with a library of schema-enabled blocks and pages, as well as a commitment to adding further to ensure publishers keep up. In establishing the richest assemblage of schema-enabled blocks, Flexpress makes it easy to improve Google’s understanding of existing and future content, thereby lifting brand authority, making content eligible to appear in prominent modules on search engine results pages, and bringing more search engine users to Flexpress-powered content sites.
3b: Blocks that improve E-E-A-T
Google and other search engines care not only about the content within a particular article, but also the credibility of the entire domain. Authoritative, established sites receive much more favor in Google’s algorithm than domains that are new or suspect.
To determine whether a site is credible, Google looks for indicators of so-called E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, and Authoritativeness, which lead to Trust.
Flexpress offers several blocks that improve E-E-A-T, including:
3c: Enablement to improve crawl depth and crawl budget
There are two other important metrics to consider for SEO: crawl depth and crawl budget.
Crawl depth refers to how many pages a “crawler” (a cute word for a program that scans websites; “spider” is a less-cute word that means the same thing) needs to browse in order to get from one piece of content to another. The more pages a crawler needs to scan in order to reach most of the pages on a site, the harsher Google grades a domain.
One of the most effective ways to improve crawl depth is to have a very organized site taxonomy (categories, subcategories, sub-subcategories, etc.) and to have much of that site taxonomy referenced across all pages.
Flexpress can help improve crawl depth in a few ways:
Crawl budget refers to how many pages a crawler will scan on a given day. A domain wants to make sure its “budget” is being “spent” on the most high-value articles, so Google has a more favorable impression of the website.
Oftentimes improving crawl budget means strategically removing outdated or lackluster content, in order to give your highest quality pieces room to be noticed.
Flexpress can help sites better leverage crawl budget in several ways:
Another boon to crawl budget is increased site speed. One of the factors that crawlers are limited by is time, which means they can crawl more pages on a faster loading site. When publishers move to Flexpress’s headless React frontend, they can see major improvements in site speed allowing for an increased crawl rate.
3e: Syndication Features
Flexpress publishers enjoy audience expansions through syndication partners like Apple News, Flipboard, SmartNews, NewsBreak, MSN, and Yahoo.
Flexpress's syndication controls enable users to quickly push content to off-site partners and easily configure which articles go to which partners. Flexpress can also assist in creating new feeds for client-specific partnerships.
3f: Audience Recirculation Features
Flexpress also has a few features to improve site recirculation and engagement metrics like pages per session. Flexpress enables clients to use the following:
By improving audience metrics using the tools above, sites are improving the efficacy of all onsite revenue levers, including programmatic and direct advertising impressions, affiliate marketing conversions, and direct-to-consumer sales.
In addition to the audience-expanding blocks, however, Flexpress offers blocks that drive revenue initiatives such as affiliate marketing, commerce, and lead gen.
