To create a custom audience in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to create a custom audience from keywords, websites or apps, which describes the kind of person you want to reach. You can describe the audience by interests, purchase intent, search terms, sites they visit or apps they use. It is previewed before it is created.

Which Tools Do the Work

A custom audience describes people by what they search for, browse or install. The tool takes your description, and a read lists what already exists:

list_custom_audiences only reads your account. create_custom_audience changes it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
list_custom_audiencesShows existing audiences and how they are defined
create_custom_audienceCreates the audience

The type tells Google how to read your keywords. Use SEARCH for terms people type, INTEREST for topics, and PURCHASE_INTENT for people close to buying. AUTO lets Google decide, which is a sensible start when you are unsure.

How to Create a Custom Audience in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to create a custom audience. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

1

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect Google Ads on Google's own sign-in screen. There is no developer token and no Google Cloud project. Use the Google login that has access to the account where you want to create a custom audience.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will create a custom audience.

3

Describe the buyer

List the searches, topics or websites that signal your ideal customer. Ten specific terms beat fifty vague ones.

4

Pick the type

Choose AUTO, INTEREST, PURCHASE_INTENT or SEARCH. The assistant can explain which one fits your list.

5

Create and attach

Ask it to run create_custom_audience. Approve the preview, then attach the audience to a campaign as a separate step.

How to Check the Result

List the custom audiences and check the definition. After you attach it to a campaign, compare its results against your other audiences before you scale it.

Use these two prompts to create a custom audience, in this order.

"Create a custom audience called Boiler Shoppers using the search keywords boiler replacement cost and best combi boiler."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.
"List my custom audiences and show how each one is defined."
Reads your account and changes nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a custom audience in Google Ads?

In Google Ads, open the audience manager and add a custom segment. With PaidSync.ai, ask Claude or ChatGPT to create the audience from your terms and it previews the definition first.

Does creating an audience start any ads?

No. Creating an audience only defines it. It affects a campaign only after you attach it, which is a separate step.

Can ChatGPT create a custom audience in Google Ads?

Yes. PaidSync.ai connects Google Ads to ChatGPT and to Claude, and the same tools run in both, so you can ask it to create a custom audience the same way you would in Claude.

What do I need before I create a custom audience?

A connected Google Ads account, a name, and keywords, website URLs or app names that describe the audience.

How much does it cost?

PaidSync.ai is free for 15 tasks a month with no card, enough to create a custom audience and see the result. Pro starts at $99 a month. See pricing.
