SEO Site Audit Automation Overview

Here is an overview of what this flow does

  • It starts with a schedule that runs every week
  • Your website or blog page is scraped with Firecrawl
  • AI audits the page based on your predefined criteria
  • A document is created with the audit details
  • An email is sent to the person in charge

No, let's dive into how to build this flow

Pre-requisites for this flow

Step 1: Add Your Trigger

Begin by choosing the Schedule trigger.

  • If you want to run your audit weekly or monthly, this is where you set the interval.
  • You can customize the frequency based on how often your content or technical elements change.

Step 2: Add Firecrawl Scrape Website Action

Firecrawl is an AI-powered web scraping and crawling tool.

To use it in Activepieces:

  1. Sign up for Firecrawl here.
  2. Obtain your API key from your Firecrawl dashboard.
  3. Paste your API key into the Activepieces action.
  4. Add the URL of the website you want to scrape.
  5. Set Extraction Type
  • Choose Default for a general content crawl.
  • Alternatively, you can select:
    • JSON Schema if you want structured data extraction.
    • Prompt if you want to give specific instructions for how to extract content.

Tip: The "Prompt" option is great for custom SEO checks, like extracting only H1 tags, meta descriptions, or broken links.

Step 3: Add AI

  • Insert the Text AI action.
  • Write a prompt to analyze and audit the data scraped from Firecrawl. The prompt used in this flow is in the image below.
  • You can fully customize the prompt to suit your audit style.

Step 4: Create a Google Docs Document

  • Use the Create Document action.
  • Connect your Google Docs account.
  • Add a title like “Weekly SEO Audit – [Your Website Name]”.
  • In the document body, pass in the AI-generated audit content from the previous step.

Step 5: Send the Audit Via Gmail

  • Add the Gmail - Send Email action.
  • Fill in:
    • Subject: “Weekly SEO Audit Report”
    • Body: Write a short message and include the Google Docs URL so the recipient can access the report directly.
