Hey man, can you guide on from where did you learn to build such complex workflows?This is actual. What I have, for example now:
Custom Rank Tracking System with n8n.
Automated rank tracking system designed to monitor and analyze SEO performance across multiple websites.
The solution was developed to overcome the limitations imposed by commercial SaaS tools—namely, keyword caps and high subscription costs—while maintaining full control over data and scalability.
Architecture and Technologies Used
The system is built on n8n , an open-source workflow automation tool, and integrates with the following services:
Google Search Console API : For retrieving click, impression, CTR, and average position data.
BigQuery : For long-term storage and analysis of historical search data.
Firecrawl : For crawling and extracting page content for context-aware keyword monitoring.
Google Sheets : As an intermediate data aggregation layer.
HTML / CSS : For generating interactive, mobile-responsive reports.
Google Drive : For storing generated reports.
Email Notifications : To deliver summarized results directly to the user's inbox.
Functional Features
1. Daily Data Collection
A scheduled daily trigger (e.g., at sunrise).
Fetches fresh keyword ranking data from Google Search Console for all monitored domains.
Supports unlimited keywords and domains without vendor-imposed restrictions.
2. Performance Classification
Keywords are categorized based on their trend:
Up : Improved position
Steady : Stable position
Down : Declined position
3. Report Generation
Dynamic HTML report generation containing:
Summary metrics: total clicks, impressions, and CTR.
Trend visualization using line charts and pie charts.
Expandable accordion sections per keyword showing:
Fully responsive layout with dark mode support for improved readability.
- Target URL
- Current position
- Position change arrow
- Clicks and impressions.
4. Report Delivery.
Uploads the final HTML report to Google Drive.
Sends a direct link to the report via email upon completion—typically before morning coffee finishes brewing.
Key Advantages.
Unlimited Scalability : No restrictions on number of keywords or domains.
Cost Efficiency : Operational cost is approximately equivalent to one monthly latte.
High Flexibility : Easily migrate data backend from Google Sheets to PostgreSQL as requirements grow.
Vendor Independence : Eliminates reliance on paid SaaS platforms and their restrictive policies.
Accessing the Workflow: A complete package of the workflow, including versions for both Google Sheets and PostgreSQL , is available upon request.

WIll appreciate the setup guides, or ideas to be implemented into workflows? A starting step that is..
I tried GPT Pro (but copying GPT made json workflows is not error free) and all other kinds of YouTube channels, and templates all over GitHub; however, majority of them are not use cases I believe are solid enough to attract clients. I was thinking of getting started with cold emailing and cold calling prospective clients, then convincing them to show demos for their service they want automated.
