I automated my blog writing—here's the workflow

This week's free N8N workflow is ready to download.

Hey there — happy Wednesday! 👋

I wanted to automate my blog post writing and build a workflow to do this for me on autopilot.

Not just any blog posts—posts optimized for AI search. The kind that actually show up when people ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for recommendations.

So I built it.

👉 This week's workflow: AEO Blog Post Creator

Here’s how it works:

Here's what it does:

  1. You drop in a topic

  2. It researches what AI search engines want to see

  3. AI writes a blog post structured for Answer Engine Optimization

  4. You get a draft ready to publish

One blog post topic in, one optimized blog post out.

  • Is 1–3 sentences maximum

  • Directly answers the primary question

  • Uses simple, factual language

  • Can stand alone as a featured snippet

**Quick Answer:**  
<Direct, no-fluff answer>

2️⃣ Main Title (H1)

Immediately after the Quick Answer:

  • Clear and specific

  • Matches search intent exactly

  • Includes the main keyword naturally

  • Add a year only if the topic is time-sensitive

Example:

  • “What Mistakes Should You Avoid?”

5️⃣ Paragraph & Readability Rules

  • Maximum 3–4 lines per paragraph

  • Prefer bullets over dense text

Format:

  • Avoid forced or excessive linking

8️⃣ Tone & Authority

  • Confident, helpful, neutral

  • No hype language

  • No fluff intros

  • No jargon unless unavoidable

No repeating the same idea across sections
No vague or generic advice

OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS

FINAL CHECK BEFORE SUBMITTING

Confirm that:
