SEO Article Headline Optimizer

Overview

This workflow automates the process of optimizing blog/article titles and headings (H1, H2, H3) to focus on a specific target keyword or keyword cluster. By leveraging AI agents, keyword research tools, and content extraction utilities, it helps content creators and SEO professionals update existing articles to better align with desired search terms—improving their relevancy and ranking potential.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Onboarding and User Input

• Welcome and Instructions: When the workflow is initiated, the user is greeted with a welcome message that explains the tool’s purpose and instructs them to provide:

  • The URL of the article they want to optimize.
  • The primary keyword to focus on.

• User Input: The user submits the article URL and chosen keyword.

2. Extracting and Structuring Input Data

• Structured Output Generation: The workflow parses the user input, organizing it into structured data:
  • article_url: The URL of the blog/article.
  • focusing_keyword: The target keyword.

3. Keyword Research and Expansion

• Keyword Extraction:
  • The focusing keyword is passed to a Google Keyword research tool to fetch related keywords (from the same cluster), along with useful SEO metrics.
• Formatting: These related keywords are formatted for seamless input into subsequent AI prompts.

4. Article Headline Extraction

• URL Content Retrieval:
  • The system uses a content retriever to fetch and parse the article from the provided URL.
• Headline Extraction Agent:
  • An AI agent, specialized in identifying heading structures (H1, H2, H3) within an article, extracts all relevant headlines.

5. Repurposing Headlines for SEO

• Prompt Construction:

  • The workflow builds a detailed prompt for an expert copywriter agent, including:
    • The original extracted headlines.
    • The target keyword and its cluster.
    • Explicit instructions to only alter the title and headlines, not the article body.
    • A requirement to list both the previous and new versions of any changed headlines.

• AI-Driven Optimization:

  • Using Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet (or similar), the copywriter agent generates optimized versions of the title and headings, focusing on the keyword cluster.

6. Execution and Output

• Sequential Task Handling:
  • All steps are orchestrated in a sequential “crew” to ensure each part runs in order and dependencies are respected.
• Result Presentation:
  • The workflow outputs the optimized headlines, showing before-and-after versions for transparency, and displays the results to the user for review.
