How to get keyword and trend data to your CustomGPT for faster keyword research?

You can do a better and faster keyword research with ChatGPT by creating a CustomGPT and connecting keyword data to a third party tool, like DataForSEO. Get live keyword and trend data from Google ads. Inspired by Bastian Grimm showing us how to do it at Serp Conf. Vienna, I finally did this for my CustomGPTs, and here are the instructions.

Here is an example where I do keyword research for cosmetic advent calenders in finnish annd finding the most popular brands.

Here is how to set it up:

1. Create a CustomGPT.
2. Create an ‘Action’ to call a third party API from your Custom GPT, for example dataforseo.com
3. Generate a base64 encoded version of your DataforSEO login and password. Ask ChatGPT for help if needed: btoa(‘APIemail:APIpass’)
4. Get the OpenAI Schema made by Bastian here: https://pa.ag/3Pa7oZ3
5. Test the available action.
