Create SEO outlines from top Google results with SerpAPI and GPT-4o

Overview Use this workflow to create SEO-friendly outlines based on articles that do well in Google.

Enter a keyword, and the workflow scrapes the top results, scrapes the content, analyzes it with AI, and builds a MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive) outline.

It’s useful for content creators and SEO specialists who want relevant, well-structured content.

How it works - Accepts a keyword submitted through a form - Uses the SerpAPI to get top Google results for a chosen country - Collects the top five URLs. We use five because we expect some to fail at the scraping stage - Scrapes each URL separately - Uses the first three articles to fit the AI model’s context window - Extracts the main text from the page body - Converts HTML to Markdown to get rid of tags and attributes. - Combines the cleaned text into a single list for AI processing - Analyzes the content with an AI language model to find common topics and headings - Generates an SEO-focused outline based on the most frequent topics

Setup steps 1. Sign up for a [SerpAPI account](https://serpapi.com/) (free tier available) 2. Create an [OpenAI account](https://openai.com/api/) and get an API key 3. Set up your credentials within N8N 4. Run the workflow and enter your keyword in the form. 5. The workflow will generate an SEO-friendly outline for your content

Improvement ideas - Add another LLM to turn the outline into an article - Use the Google docs API to add the outline to a Google doc - Enright the outline with data from Perplexity or Tavily
