SEO Competitor Analysis with RapidAPI and Google Sheets Logging

Automated SEO Competitor Analysis with Google Sheets Logging

Description:
This n8n workflow automates SEO competitor analysis by integrating the Competitor Analysis API. It captures website domains via a simple user form, sends them to the API to retrieve competitor data, and logs the results directly into Google Sheets. The workflow intelligently handles empty or missing data and incorporates a wait node to respect API rate limits, making your competitor tracking seamless and reliable.

Node-by-Node Explanation

Competitor Analysis Request

If (Condition Check)
Verifies that the API response contains valid, non-empty data.

Google Sheets (Insert Success Data)
Appends the fetched competitor data to a specified Google Sheet.
