How to Convert YouTube Video to Blog Posts?

A fully automated system that converts YouTube video transcripts into SEO-optimised blog posts using Make.com, Claude AI, and Webflow. This automation helps you generate consistent blog content while saving hours of writing time.

The Make.com workflow takes a YouTube video URL, extracts the transcript, sends it to Claude AI with a prompt to restructure it as an SEO-optimised blog post with headings, subheadings, and meta descriptions, then publishes the finished article directly to your Webflow CMS. The entire process runs without manual input once triggered.

Perfect for content creators, marketers, and businesses who already produce video content and want to repurpose it into written articles for organic search traffic. Each blog post is structured for SEO with proper heading hierarchy, keyword placement, and readability.

What are the key features?

  • Extracts transcripts from YouTube videos automatically.
  • Uses Claude AI to convert raw transcripts into polished, SEO-optimised blog posts.
  • Generates proper heading hierarchy, meta descriptions, and keyword placement.
  • Publishes finished articles directly to your Webflow CMS.
  • Runs on a schedule or manually inside Make.com for on-demand conversion.
  • 9-node Make.com scenario that is simple to configure and maintain.

What are the benefits?

  • Repurpose existing video content into blog posts without additional writing effort.
  • Drive organic search traffic with SEO-optimised articles from your videos.
  • Save 2 to 3 hours per blog post compared to writing from scratch.
  • Maintain a consistent publishing schedule on your blog.
  • Double your content output by turning every video into a written article.

How do you set it up?

  1. Import the Make.com scenario JSON file into your Make.com account by going to Scenarios, clicking Import Blueprint.
  2. You will need accounts with Make.com, Anthropic (Claude AI), and Webflow. See the Tools Required section above.
  3. Connect your YouTube data source. The scenario needs a YouTube video URL as input, either entered manually or pulled from a spreadsheet of your videos.
  4. Add your Anthropic (Claude) API key in the AI blog writing module.
  5. Review and customise the Claude prompt to match your blog's tone, style, and target keyword strategy.
  6. Connect your Webflow account and select the CMS collection where blog posts should be published.
  7. Map the AI-generated output fields (title, body, meta description) to your Webflow CMS collection fields.
  8. Run the scenario manually with one YouTube video URL to test the full pipeline.
  9. Review the published blog post on your Webflow site. Check heading structure, readability, and SEO meta tags.
  10. Set the Schedule trigger if you want the scenario to process new videos automatically, or keep it on manual trigger for on-demand use.
