Automate SEO Meta Tag Generation with Airtable and n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly populate missing SEO title tags and meta descriptions for your web pages. This workflow automatically pulls data from Airtable, fetches website content, extracts the necessary meta information, and updates your records, saving you valuable time and improving your search engine visibility.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow streamlines the process of optimizing your website's SEO. It begins by connecting to your Airtable base, specifically targeting a table designed to manage SEO meta tags. The workflow intelligently identifies records where the 'title tag' and 'meta desc' fields are empty, but a URL is present. It then fetches the content of each identified URL, parses the HTML to extract the 'title' tag and the 'meta description' content, and finally updates the original Airtable record with this newly acquired SEO information. This automation ensures consistent and accurate meta tags across your content without manual intervention, boosting your SEO efforts and search engine rankings.
Key Features
- Automated Data Retrieval: Connects to your Airtable base to identify records needing SEO meta tags.
- Web Content Scraping: Fetches the full HTML content of specified web pages.
- Intelligent Extraction: Precisely extracts 'title' tags and 'meta description' attributes from HTML.
- Seamless Airtable Updates: Automatically populates your Airtable records with extracted SEO data.
- Customizable Filtering: Uses Airtable's formula capabilities to pinpoint specific records for processing.
How To Use
- Prepare Your Airtable Base: Ensure you have an Airtable base with a table containing at least three columns:
url(where the URL of the webpage resides),title tag(to be populated), andmeta desc(to be populated). - Configure the 'Get records' Node: In the Airtable node, specify your Airtable Base ID (e.g.,
appkkDhXu7vZCFspD) and Table ID (e.g.,tblMdmUiSTBrvrLq3). Crucially, set thefilterByFormulato=AND(url != "", {title tag} = "", {meta desc} = "")to fetch only records missing title and meta description data. - Set up the 'Get url content' Node: This node is pre-configured to use the
urlfrom the previous node (={{ $json.url }}). No changes are typically needed here. - Configure the 'Extract title tag and meta description' Node: The
extractionValuesare set to target thetitletag and thecontentattribute of themeta[name="description"]tag. This node is usually ready to go. - Configure the 'Update original record' Node: In this Airtable node, re-select your Airtable Base and Table. Under
columns, ensure theidis mapped to={{ $('Get records').item.json.id }}and themeta descandtitle tagfields are mapped to={{ $json.metaDesc }}and={{ $json.titleTag }}respectively. This ensures the extracted data is saved to the correct record. - Connect and Test: Connect all nodes in sequence: 'When clicking "Test workflow"' -> 'Get records' -> 'Get url content' -> 'Extract title tag and meta description' -> 'Update original record'. Run the workflow to test.
