How It Works

This workflow is initiated by a new entry in your NocoDB database, containing key content parameters like the primary topic, target audience, content type, location, language, and competitor URLs.

Upon activation, the workflow sends a "Started" notification to Slack and updates the NocoDB status for the corresponding entry.

An AI agent (powered by OpenAI and LangChain) first expands on your primary topic, generating a comprehensive list of primary, long-tail, and question-based keywords, along with related content topics, all formatted into a structured JSON output.

Simultaneously, DataForSEO is queried to retrieve critical metrics: Search Volume, Cost Per Click (CPC) for all generated primary keywords, and Keyword Difficulty (KD) scores.

For competitor analysis, the provided competitor URLs are processed. DataForSEO identifies keywords ranking for these URLs, and a dedicated AI agent then analyzes the extracted data to pinpoint competitor strengths, weaknesses, and potential content opportunities.

All the rich data – initial AI keyword ideas, keyword metrics, and competitor insights – is then merged. This combined dataset is fed into a final, highly instructed AI agent that synthesizes everything into a detailed and actionable SEO Keyword Strategy & Content Brief.

Finally, the generated content brief is saved back to your NocoDB database. The original record's status is updated to "Done," and a final Slack notification confirms the successful completion of the research, including a summary of the input parameters.
