Automate Your SEO Keyword Rank Tracking with n8n and Firecrawl
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly monitor your SEO keyword performance. This n8n workflow automatically fetches your keywords from Airtable, checks their current ranking using Firecrawl, and updates your records, notifying you of any changes.
About This Workflow
Take the manual work out of SEO keyword tracking with this powerful n8n workflow. It seamlessly integrates with Airtable to pull your target keywords and uses the Firecrawl API to determine their current search engine ranking. The workflow then intelligently compares new ranks to your existing data, updates your Airtable base with the latest positions, and triggers a notification when a rank has changed. This ensures you're always informed about your SEO performance without constant manual checks, allowing you to react quickly to shifts in search engine results and optimize your strategy effectively.
Key Features
- Automated Keyword Fetching: Automatically retrieves your SEO keywords and target URLs from Airtable at a set interval.
- Real-time Rank Monitoring: Leverages the Firecrawl API to accurately check the current search engine ranking for each keyword.
- Intelligent Rank Comparison: Compares newly fetched ranks against your previously recorded data to detect changes.
- Airtable Data Synchronization: Updates your Airtable records with the latest keyword rankings automatically.
- Change Notifications: Sends an alert (e.g., via Slack) when a keyword's rank has changed, enabling prompt action.
How To Use
- Set up Airtable: Ensure you have an Airtable base with at least the following fields: 'Keyword', 'Target URL', and 'Current Rank'.
- Configure Airtable Trigger Node: In the n8n workflow, set up the 'Fetch Keywords from Airtable' node. Provide your Airtable Base ID and Table ID, and configure it to poll every minute (or your desired interval). Link your Airtable credential.
- Configure HTTP Request Node (Firecrawl): Set up the 'Check Rank via Firecrawl' node. Ensure the URL is
https://api.firecrawl.dev/serp. Configure the POST method and map the 'Keyword' field from Airtable to the 'query' parameter. Crucially, replaceYOUR_API_KEYwith your actual Firecrawl API key in the Authorization header. - Configure Merge and Code Nodes: Connect the Airtable Trigger to the 'Combine Airtable + Firecrawl Result' node. Then, connect this to the 'Compare Ranks' code node. This code node is pre-configured to extract relevant data and determine the new rank.
- Configure Airtable Update Node: Connect the 'Compare Ranks' node to the 'Update Airtable Record' node. This node will update your Airtable base with the new rank. Ensure the 'id' and 'Current Rank' fields are correctly mapped.
- Configure IF Node and Slack Notification: Connect the 'Update Airtable Record' node to the 'Check if Rank Changed' IF node. Configure this node to trigger if the 'new_rank' is different from the 'current_rank'. Connect the 'true' output of the IF node to the 'Send Slack Notification' node. Configure the Slack node with your desired channel and message content to be alerted of rank changes.
