Auto-Generate SEO Blog Posts with Perplexity, GPT, Leonardo & WordPress
Overview
This workflow automates the end-to-end creation and publishing of SEO-optimized blog posts by combining data scraping, AI-powered content generation, image creation, and WordPress publishing. Ideal for marketers, content teams, or SEO agencies looking to scale content production with minimal manual effort.
How It Works
-
Data Collection:
The process begins by fetching HTML content from a specified website using a scraper node. Relevant information (e.g. trending topics or industry data) is parsed and extracted. -
Data Structuring:
Extracted content is cleaned, sorted, and converted into a structured CSV format, ensuring consistent inputs for content generation. -
Content Generation (Perplexity + GPT):
The workflow optionally queries Perplexity.ai or similar services to expand on the topic or find source material. GPT (e.g., OpenAI or Claude) then generates SEO-optimized blog posts, including titles, meta descriptions, and long-form content. -
AI Image Generation (Leonardo AI):
For each blog post, an image prompt is sent to Leonardo AI to generate unique feature images or thumbnails. -
WordPress Publishing
The final post—including the AI-generated content, featured image, and SEO meta—is published automatically to your WordPress site via the REST API. -
Data Archiving & Reporting
The original scraped data and blog content are saved to both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel 365. A summary CSV is emailed to your content or marketing team for review.
Setup Requirements
Source URL: Configure the scraping node with the website to pull initial data from.
- OpenAI or Claude API: For GPT-based blog content generation.
- Leonardo AI or equivalent: For generating featured images.

- WordPress REST API access: With authentication for auto-publishing.
