How It Works

Phase 1: Set Google Sheet ID & Input Target Keywords

In n8n, enter the Google Sheet ID in the Set Sheet ID node.
In the connected Google Sheet, for the first tab Main Keyword, you manually add the main keywords that you want the tool to research and generate relevant keyword suggestions for.
Trigger the process by clicking Test Workflow or Execute Workflow.
The workflow automatically reads your main keywords from the Main Keyword tab in your linked Google Sheet, only those marked with the status Ready will be processed.

Phase 2: Automated Research & Data Collection

For your input main keyword (considering here you only set Ready for one main keyword in the connected Google Sheet), the workflow runs multiple automated queries in parallel:

1. Get Related Keywords:

The workflow sends a POST request to the DataForSEO API endpoint to directly retrieve an array of related keywords.
Then, the array of related keywords is parsed out, preparing each keyword as a separate record for further processing.
It appends each extracted related keyword as a new row in the Related KW tab of your connected Google Sheet. The Main Keyword value from your input is included in Column A of the tab to maintain keyword context.
Additionally, the workflow appends the related keywords – along with the associated main keyword – to the All Results tab in your Google Sheet for consolidated tracking and future reference. This ensures you have both a dedicated list of related keywords and a master log of all research results in one place.

2. Get Keyword Suggestions:

The workflow sends a POST request to the DataForSEO API endpoint to directly retrieve an array of keyword suggestions related to your main keyword.
This array of keyword suggestions is then parsed, splitting out each suggestion as an individual record for further processing.
Each extracted keyword suggestion is appended as a new row in the KW Suggestion tab of your connected Google Sheet. The original Main Keyword value from your input is included in Column A of the tab to maintain clear context.
Additionally, the workflow appends all keyword suggestions – along with the associated main keyword – to the All Results tab in your Google Sheet for consolidated tracking and future reference. This ensures you have both a dedicated list of keyword suggestions and a master log of all research results in one place.

3. Get Autocomplete Suggestions:

The workflow sends a POST request to the DataForSEO API endpoint to retrieve Google autocomplete keyword suggestions for your main keyword.
The array of autocomplete keyword suggestions is parsed out as an individual record for processing.
Each extracted autocomplete keyword is appended as a new row in the Autocomplete Suggestion tab of your connected Google Sheet. The Main Keyword is included alongside each entry for proper tracking.
Additionally, the workflow appends all autocomplete keywords – along with the associated main keyword – to the All Results tab in your Google Sheet for consolidated tracking and future reference. This ensures you have both a dedicated list of autocomplete keywords and a master log of all research results in one place.

4. Get Content Ideas:

The workflow sends a POST request to the DataForSEO API endpoint to retrieve content ideas and fresh topic suggestions based on your main keyword.
The array of content ideas is then parsed; each idea is extracted as a separate record for further use.
Every content idea is then appended as a new row in the Content Idea tab of your connected Google Sheet, with the Main Keyword included to provide context.
Additionally, the workflow appends all content ideas, along with their related main keyword, to the All Results tab in your sheet for consolidated tracking and easy access. This ensures you have both a dedicated list of content ideas for brainstorming and a central log of all keyword research outputs in one place.

5. Get SERPs:

The workflow sends a POST request to the DataForSEO API endpoint, retrieving both the current Google SERP (Search Engine Results Page) data and People Also Ask (PAA) questions related to your main keyword.
Then, the data is split into two streams: one for standard SERP results and one for PAA questions.
For Standard SERPs:
- The workflow filters the SERP data to keep only the most relevant results.
- Each SERP entry is appended as a new row in the SERP tab of your connected Google Sheet, providing insights into top-ranking pages and their attributes.
For PAA (People Also Ask):
- The PAA data is also filtered.
- Each PAA question is split out and added as a new row in the PAA tab in your connected Google Sheet for focused tracking.
- Additionally, all PAA questions are consolidated and appended, along with their related main keyword, to the All Results tab in your sheet for consolidated tracking and easy access. This ensures you have both a dedicated list of PAA questions for brainstorming and a central log of all research outputs in one place.
