Automated SEO Health Monitoring & Reporting
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 Daily Trigger – Runs every day at 9 AM. Fetch Website List – Reads website URLs from Google Sheets. Crawl Websites – Uses HTTP requests to fetch each website’s HTML.

Decision Node – If score < 50 → Send alert email; else → Generate full SEO report. Update Logs – Logs results back into Google Sheets.
