Pointers for Setting Up an AI SEO Workflow in Notion (with “Speed Agent” Logic)

If you are building an AI SEO workflow in Notion, the goal is not “more AI.” The goal is a system that produces repeatable deliverables (with evidence) and writes them back into a place you can ship from.

This post outlines the exact framework I use to turn SEO work into an operating system:

Question → Evidence → Decision → Deliverable

If you want the full system map (tools + flows + storage), here is the companion explainer page:

What a real AI SEO workflow produces (not “AI vibes”)

A good workflow ends in outputs you can review, prioritize, and execute:

If the result is only a chat transcript, the workflow is not finished.

The core loop: Question → Evidence → Decision → Deliverable

Every workflow I build follows the same loop.

Be specific about the outcome.

A vague question creates a vague deliverable.

AI is only as good as the inputs. Evidence usually comes from:

The rule is simple: no evidence, no confidence.

This is where most “AI SEO” setups fail.

You need a decision layer that answers:

In Notion, decisions should become fields, not opinions.

Examples:

The deliverable must be saved somewhere durable:

This “write-back” step is what turns an automation into an operational system.

This matches the architecture in the companion page.[1]

Treat the AI like an operator that:

Do not treat the AI like the product.

Your workflows need reliable ways to turn the web into clean input:

Pointer: plan for failure. Scrapes will break.

This is where you package the “run”:

Once a workflow works once, it should be reusable.

Notion is the control plane:

External tools are workers. Notion is the controller.

Speed Agent logic (what keeps this from turning into a fragile mess)

“Speed Agent logic” is how you keep the system fast, resilient, and shippable.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is useful outputs on a schedule.

A minimal AI SEO workflow you can run from Notion (start here)

If you want a simple end-to-end workflow that works, build this first:

Example: Backlink prospecting workflow (deliverable engine)

This is one of the fastest ways to show ROI.

Input: target URL + limit + a rough relevance filter

Evidence:

Decision:

Deliverable:

That final write-back step is what makes it operational.

Final checklist (the non-negotiables)

If you follow this, Notion stops being “where you store notes.” It becomes the place you run SEO like a system.
