n8n Weekly AI Search Readiness Audit: Apify + Sheets + Gmail

Stay ahead of AI search crawling problems—automatically

The n8n Weekly AI Search Readiness Audit: Apify + Sheets + Gmail workflow runs every Monday to check your site’s AI crawler readiness, logs per-page readiness scores to Google Sheets, and sends if any pages fall below your configured threshold.

What this workflow does

• Schedules weekly: Executes every Monday at 8:00.
• Audits your URLs: Loads sites, pagesPerSite, alertBelow, and alertEmail from workflow configuration, then runs the Apify AI Search Readiness Audit Actor (tanlabs~ai-search-readiness-audit).
• Produces per-page results: Formats output into one normalized row per page, including overall score, sub-scores, blocked AI bots, and top fixes (including an llms.txt draft when missing).
• Builds a score history: Appends the per-page rows into a selected Google Sheets tab.
• Triggers alerts only when needed: Filters pages below alertBelow, compiles a single HTML summary, and emails it via Gmail to alertEmail.

Use cases

• Monitor whether key landing pages are AI search ready after content or technical changes.
• Track readiness score trends over time using Google Sheets history for SEO/AI discoverability.
• Reduce manual QA by receiving a single weekly alert listing only underperforming pages and recommended fixes.
