Welcome, everyone! I’m Hadidiz, and today I'm excited to share how you can automate your SEO blog posts effortlessly. Leveraging tools like N8N, AI, and the Webflow CMS, you can revolutionize your content creation process. Let’s dive right in!
High-quality blog content is essential for increasing your website's volume. When you consistently produce valuable content, search engines like Google recognize your site as active and authoritative. This dramatically boosts your chances of ranking higher and driving more traffic to your website.
After running this automation workflow, you’ll have a complete blog post ready for publication in Webflow. This includes generating images with text and transforming YouTube video transcripts into fully formatted blog posts.
Before we start, ensure you have access to N8N, a Google Sheet for storing transcripts, and your Webflow CMS setup. While I’ll focus on Webflow, you can adapt these principles to any content management system.
To kick off this process, navigate to any YouTube video. For example, grab a transcript from a video by a YouTuber you admire. Be sure to toggle the time stamps off to keep it clean, and then copy the transcript.
Input the YouTube transcript into a Google Sheet along with the video link. Set the status of each entry to 'pending.' This allows you to easily filter which rows have been processed.
The workflow is triggered whenever a new row is added to the Google Sheet. From there, you’ll fetch the YouTube transcript and pass it to an AI model. Be sure to provide a system prompt that defines the structure of the expected output.
Your AI should output a structured JSON containing essentials like title, URL slug, description, and body content. Adjust these fields according to how your Webflow blog is set up.
To generate eye-catching images for your blog posts, use Templated.io. Create a basic template using Canva, and integrate it through an API call to insert the title text.
With your blog content and images ready, it’s time to publish. You’ll set the published date, category, post summary, and other relevant fields before sending the data to Webflow. Ensure to disable the live publish setting if you wish to review each post manually before it goes live.
After establishing the workflow in N8N, update the corresponding row in the Google Sheet to indicate that the blog post is now done. Make sure to include the Blog ID returned from Webflow.
