Automate Keyword Clustering by URL in Google Sheets

Transform your SEO keyword tracking into a fully automated process with this powerful n8n workflow that collects up to 100 ranked keywords for specific URLs and maintains complete historical data in Google Sheets using DataForSEO's comprehensive search intelligence.

What this workflow does

This automated keyword clustering solution reads your target URLs directly from Google Sheets and leverages the DataForSEO Labs API to extract detailed ranking data from Google search results. For each URL, the workflow retrieves up to 100 organic keywords along with essential SEO metrics including search position, search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, competition level, search intent, result type, and estimated traffic potential.

The workflow creates a separate spreadsheet tab for each monitored URL, organizing data in an intelligent historical format where keywords populate table rows and ranking positions are tracked across columns by execution date. Each scheduled run appends new data without overwriting previous results, building a comprehensive ranking history that enables easy trend analysis and performance comparison over time.
