Since you already know programmatic works, the biggest lever is what those hundreds of pages monetize with. Display RPM on programmatic pages is usually thin, but if the niche has any commercial or service angle the same page structure works even better for lead gen - {service} in {city} templated out, each page capturing a lead you sell instead of an impression you rent. One lead in contractor services, insurance, or legal can beat a month of ads on that page. If the niche is purely informational then ads are the play, but if there's a business anywhere downstream that pays for customers, build the templates to capture (short form, phone + what they need) and line up a couple of buyers per city before you scale. Programmatic is a great fit for lead gen specifically because city × service gives you thousands of tightly-targeted pages that each convert warm intent.
