Use ChatGPT with Sheets for creating ads, optimizing meta titles, creating structured data and being more productive overall. Here’s how.
ChatGPT remains one of the most talked about tools in the world of SEO.
Some users are finding ways to leverage the platform for content and SEO; others use it to create ads, optimize meta titles, create structured data, and be more productive overall.
And being more productive by integrating ChatGPT and Google Sheets together makes a lot of sense to me.
Integrating ChatGPT and Google Sheets can be achieved in a few ways.
While we’ll explore multiple ways to tie these two solutions together, the easiest method at the time of writing this post is to:
You can also go directly to the website GPT for Work to install the add-on on Sheets – and you can use this same method to work with ChatGPT in Excel.
Add-ons make it simple to use ChatGPT with Sheets, but if the add-on becomes unsupported or stops working, you can use the methods below.
ChatGPT’s API allows developers to easily use the platform’s responses in their own code.
You can use Apps Script inside of Sheets to get this setup. First, you’ll want to:
ChatGPT has the code available for easy copying, which is outlined below:
Code to copy:
You’ll need to work your way through the code and change certain parameters. Primarily, you’ll replace “YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY” with the API you jotted down previously.
Now, you can run the script and give it a try for yourself.
A quick test run of the =callChatGPT(“How can you help me?”) function will let you know if it’s working. The function should print out a list of items ChatGPT can help you with:
Inside your Sheets cells, you can call the Script using the following “callChatGPT(CELL-AND-ACTION-HERE),” and it will provide a response. Google might ask you to accept certain permissions, so be sure that you do if you want the script to work.
You may also utilize the function based on other cells, for example:
You should receive a response like this:
Tweak this formula based on your data, keywords, and other details.
Sheets is a product that I use quite often – it works great. But Sheets and Excel seem to lack innovations that allow you to use your data in new, exciting ways.
Integrating ChatGPT reduces the need to switch between both products and will boost your productivity in the process.
You can use the two together to:
Tables help you visualize data and are great when reporting to clients, but they’re tedious to fill in. You can also use ChatGPT to generate tables for your data to better view and understand your data.
For example, you can create a table to monitor:
When it comes to making sense of your data and analyzing it, you can have ChatGPT run the calculations for you and then create charts or tables around it.
Visualizing your data will make it easier to analyze and use it.
I’m sure you’ll find many great uses for ChatGPT and Sheets, but the following are some that I’ve found to be personally useful.
There are many ways to use ChatGPT and Sheets together, from tag generation to outlines and SEO research.
Together, ChatGPT and Sheets make it easy to generate tags for products and build up your product tag library.
Just create a task for GPT, and it will generate tags for each product you select, saving you so much time in the process.
Sheets and GPT can work together to help you clean up your lists.
Let’s say that you have a list of names. Because users input their names, some may be in all capital letters, and others may have emojis or inconsistencies in capitalization.
GPT can use the GPT_FILL function to clean up your name list and standardize it for easy use and organization.
Do you need to create product descriptions in bulk? ChatGPT can help.
Using the script, you can generate short product descriptions based on examples on your spreadsheet.
ChatGPT will analyze your example and generate descriptions that match the tone and style of your brand.
With similar functions, you can use Sheet and ChatGPT to generate:
ChatGPT can create ad copy that’s on-brand, captivating subject lines for emails, and other copy that will engage customers. With these tools, you can save your marketing team time and generate compelling content that converts.
Creating outlines for blog posts can be time-consuming. Integrating ChatGPT into Sheets will save you time by generating outlines for your posts in seconds.
GPT can provide a structure for your posts and create outlines that will keep audiences engaged.
With Google Sheets and ChatGPT, you can save time with keyword research. Just feed GPT a primary keyword and ask it to generate suggestions. The chatbot will generate a list of potential target keywords.
You can also use GPT to generate long-tail keywords.
You can use these keywords as “seeds” for your research or, at the very least, review them to ensure they’re worth targeting.
Inside of Sheets, you can use GPT to make schema markup suggestions based on the content and type.
For example, if your contact displays your address and phone number, ChatGPT can provide schema markup suggestions to help search engines better understand the information on your page.
You can also ask ChatGPT to provide you with internal linking ideas. Just provide a page topic to get more related topics for internal linking.
Want to streamline your competitor and content gap analyses? ChatGPT can help.
Just input some data about your competitors and ask GPT to provide you with some insights.
You can even ask the chatbot to provide suggestions for missing topics or areas to expand in your content.
Just provide ChatGPT with some background on your content landscape, and it can provide suggestions right in Sheets.
Integrating ChatGPT into Sheets can help enhance data analysis, save time, and streamline processes.
Once you have an API key, integration is simple, and you’ll have access to a number of functions that you can use to analyze information, create charts, generate ideas, and more.
However, for simplicity, it’s easier to use add-ons that take care of the integration without scripts.
Once you connect ChatGPT and Sheets, you’ll be able to crunch numbers and ask the chatbot to begin helping you handle tedious tasks.
Even generating metadata or creating titles can be immensely helpful. You can even have ChatGPT help with creating redirects or add rules to robots.txt for you.
Here are some example formulas you may want to use:
BONUS with script:
Voilà – now you have an outline, meta title, meta description, and FAQ schema that goes with your keywords.
