Automated Daily Keyword Research with Google Search APIs
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow intelligently automates your daily keyword discovery. It rotates through a pre-defined list from Google Sheets, fetches autocomplete suggestions, and extracts top search results from the Google Custom Search API, providing structured data for your content strategy.
About This Workflow
This powerful n8n workflow streamlines keyword research for SEO specialists and content creators. It automates the selection of a daily 'seed' keyword from your Google Sheet, dynamically fetches related autocomplete suggestions using the Google Suggest API, and then queries Google Custom Search to retrieve the most relevant titles, links, and snippets for each suggestion. Ideal for consistently generating fresh content ideas or powering advanced AI content pipelines that require fresh, real-world search data.
Key Features
- Daily Keyword Rotation: Automatically selects a new seed keyword each day from a Google Sheet, ensuring fresh research topics.
- Google Suggest Integration: Leverages the Google Suggest API to discover relevant autocomplete suggestions based on your chosen seed keywords.
- Google Custom Search Data: Retrieves rich search result data (titles, links, and snippets) for each discovered keyword suggestion.
- Structured Output: Formats all extracted data into clean, usable JSON, ready for further processing, analysis, or integration with other tools.
- Customizable Logic: Easily adjust keyword selection logic (e.g., randomize instead of rotate) and integrate with additional SEO tools or communication platforms.
How To Use
- Google Sheets Setup: Connect your Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials in n8n. Create a Google Sheet with a column labeled
TitleorKeywordin the first row, populating it with your initial keyword list. Update the 'Fetch Keyword List (Google Sheets)' node to reference your specific Google Sheet ID and sheet name. - Google Custom Search API: Enable the Custom Search JSON API on your Google Cloud project. Create a Custom Search Engine (CSE) and obtain your API Key and CX ID.
- Configure Credentials: Set up appropriate credentials in n8n for the 'Search Keywords (Google Custom Search API)' node. Ensure you use credential variables for your API Key and CX ID, rather than hardcoding them directly into the workflow.
- Adjust Start Date (Optional): In the 'Select Keyword of the Day' Code node, you can modify the
startDatevariable to change the beginning of your keyword rotation cycle. - Execution: Run the workflow manually to test its functionality, or schedule it to run daily using a Cron trigger to automate your keyword research process.
