Multiply that by clients and it quickly became a week&#8217;s worth of grunt work. Here&#8217;s what our manual question discovery automation looked like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google Search Console exports for URL-level queries  <\/li>\n<li>Semrush cross-checks for broader keyword ideas  <\/li>\n<li>Manual scraping of People Also Ask via AlsoAsked  <\/li>\n<li>Competitor FAQ hunting for AI-focused overviews  <\/li>\n<li>Topic expansion based on related searches  <\/li>\n<li>Relevance scoring by hand (with coffee stains)  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sounds familiar? It was. And it wasted 15\u201320 hours each week. Hours that should have gone into strategy, analysis or actually writing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-makecom-blueprint-clever-but-clunky\">The Make.com Blueprint: Clever but Clunky<\/h2>\n<p>Search Influence showed us how to hack together Google Search Console, Semrush and People Also Ask on Make.com. It&#8217;s clever. Open-source. A real time-saver compared to spreadsheets. But it comes with caveats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multiple tools to configure and maintain  <\/li>\n<li>No unified dashboard for real-time tracking  <\/li>\n<li>Limited AI logic on business context or page goals  <\/li>\n<li>Extra effort to handle GEO targeting and multi-channel pushes  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, you still juggle exports, complex workflows and manual tweaks. Better than before.
