What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have ChatGPT Plus configured as a central assistant for your core SEO tasks — with a custom conversation workflow for briefs, a saved prompt library, and your first Custom GPT built for a repeatable task. This setup cuts the time you spend on routine SEO writing by 60-70%.
What you'll need
- ChatGPT Plus account at chatgpt.com ($20/month — required for Custom GPTs and GPT-4o)
- A recurring SEO deliverable you produce most often (content briefs, meta copy, outreach emails, audit summaries)
- Time needed: 20-30 minutes initial setup; 2-5 minutes per task thereafter
- Cost: $20/month (ChatGPT Plus)
