Automated SEO Health Monitoring & Reporting

This workflow automatically monitors the SEO health of websites stored in a Google Sheet. It fetches each website’s HTML, analyzes key SEO metrics (title, meta description, H1 count, canonical, robots, performance score, etc.) and updates results back into Google Sheets. If performance is poor (<50), it sends an alert email. For healthy sites, it generates a detailed PDF report and stores it in Google Drive.

Who’s it for

  • Digital marketing teams
  • SEO agencies
  • Website administrators who want automated SEO health checks
  • Businesses with multiple websites or landing pages to monitor

How it works

  1. Daily Trigger – Runs every day at 9 AM.
  2. Fetch Website List – Reads website URLs from Google Sheets.
  3. Crawl Websites – Uses HTTP requests to fetch each website’s HTML.
  4. SEO Analysis – Extracts SEO-related metadata (title, meta description, H1, etc.).
  5. Health Check – Scores SEO performance based on predefined rules.
  6. Decision Node – If score < 50 → Send alert email; else → Generate full SEO report.
  7. Update Logs – Logs results back into Google Sheets.
  8. Generate PDF Reports – Converts HTML reports into PDFs via PDF.co API.
  9. Save to Drive – Stores the PDF reports in Google Drive for long-term access.

How to set up

  1. Open n8n and import the workflow.
  2. Configure your Google Sheets credentials and specify the sheet containing your website URLs.
  3. Add your Gmail account to allow automated alert emails.
  4. Set up your Google Drive credentials for storing PDF reports.
  5. Obtain an API key from PDF.co and configure the HTTP Request node.
  6. Adjust the Schedule Trigger to the time that works best (default: 9 AM daily).
  7. Test the workflow with a sample domain list.

Requirements

  • n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud)
  • Google Sheets account (to store website URLs and logs)
  • Gmail account (for sending alerts)
  • Google Drive account (to save SEO reports)
  • PDF.co API Key (for HTML → PDF conversion)

How to customize

  • Change performance threshold: Modify the IF node condition (default <50).
  • Custom SEO rules: Edit the “SEO Health Check” Function node to add/remove checks (e.g., missing schema tags, page load times).
  • Different output storage: Replace Google Drive with Dropbox, S3 or OneDrive.
  • Alternate notification channels: Swap Gmail with Slack, Microsoft Teams or Telegram.

Add-ons

  • Send Slack/Teams notifications for low scores.
  • Add PageSpeed Insights API for performance scoring.
  • Generate weekly summary reports per domain.
  • Integrate with Notion/Confluence to log SEO health history.

Use Case Examples

  • An SEO agency monitors 100+ client websites daily and sends alerts when a site has poor SEO signals.
  • A company’s marketing manager gets a daily SEO health PDF report stored in Drive.
  • A SaaS product team automatically logs performance changes for each release.

Common Troubleshooting

| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution | | ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Workflow fails at HTTP Crawl | Website blocks requests / timeout | Increase timeout in Set Config node or add retry logic. | | Always returns https://example.com | Missing canonical / OG tags in HTML | Enhanced code now infers from JSON-LD or domain detection. Update analyzer. | | PDF not generated | Invalid API key or wrong endpoint in PDF.co node | Verify PDF.co API key and endpoint URL. | | Email not sending | Gmail credentials not set or blocked | Reconnect Gmail in n8n credentials manager. | | Google Sheet not updating | Wrong column mapping in Update Sheet node | Check node mapping: domain column vs performance/date columns. | | Google Drive upload fails | Missing folder permissions | Ensure correct Drive folder ID and credentials. |

Website SEO Health Analytics with Google Sheets & PDF Reports

This n8n workflow automates the process of fetching website SEO health data, storing it in Google Sheets, generating PDF reports, and sending email alerts. It's designed to help you regularly monitor website performance and get notified of critical changes.

What it does

This workflow performs the following key steps:

  1. Schedules Execution: The workflow is triggered on a predefined schedule (e.g., daily, weekly).
  2. Reads Website URLs: It fetches a list of website URLs to monitor from a specified Google Sheet.
  3. Performs SEO Health Check: For each URL, it makes an HTTP request to an external SEO analytics service (e.g., a custom API or a third-party tool).
  4. Processes Analytics Data: It processes the received SEO data.
  5. Conditional Logic: It applies conditional logic to determine if certain SEO metrics meet predefined criteria (e.g., if a score drops below a threshold).
  6. Updates Google Sheet: It updates the Google Sheet with the latest SEO health data for each website.
  7. Generates PDF Report: For websites that meet specific conditions (e.g., a significant change in SEO score), it generates an HTML report and converts it into a PDF.
  8. Uploads PDF to Google Drive: The generated PDF report is then uploaded to a designated folder in Google Drive.
  9. Sends Email Alerts: If critical conditions are met, it sends an email alert via Gmail, potentially including the PDF report as an attachment.
  10. Merges Data: It merges data from different branches of the workflow to ensure all relevant information is processed.
  11. Sets Fields: It manipulates and sets data fields as needed throughout the workflow for consistent processing.

If AI returns non-JSON, keep “Return only a JSON array” as the last line of the prompt and keep jsonOutput enabled. Consider adding validation on parsing.warnings to gate Salesforce writes. For discounts/taxes in OLI: Standard OLI fields don’t support per-line discount amounts directly; model them in UnitPrice or custom fields. Replace the Composite API URL with your org’s domain or use the Salesforce node’s Bulk Upsert for simplicity.
