ChatGPT ads, run like a proper ad channel

Ads in ChatGPT reach people in the middle of working out what to buy and who to use. It is a new channel, which means less competition now and plenty of ways to waste money. I set it up with tracking from day one, test it against your other channels and only scale what is profitable.

What does ChatGPT ads management involve?

ChatGPT ads management covers account and setup, targeting and topics, ads and landing pages, tracking, management and reporting. New ad channels reward early movers, but they also come with thin reporting, changing rules and settings that do not behave like Google or Meta. Anthony McGrath does the work himself, with 22 years in digital marketing, for businesses in the UK, the US, Dubai and Australia.

Why ChatGPT ads need an experienced hand

New ad channels reward early movers, but they also come with thin reporting, changing rules and settings that do not behave like Google or Meta. Without clean tracking, it is easy to spend for months without knowing whether it worked.

I have run Google, Meta, Microsoft and TikTok ads for over two decades and built my own ChatGPT ads audit tool. You get campaigns set up properly, tracked against real sales and leads, and reported honestly next to the channels you already use.

An example of the kind of change this work aims for, based on typical starting points. It is not a promise or a specific client result: every business starts somewhere different. Money figures are shown without a currency: the same pattern applies in pounds, dollars, dirhams or Australian dollars.

Questions

Can I advertise on ChatGPT?

Yes. OpenAI has started showing ads in ChatGPT and is rolling them out to more advertisers and markets. I can tell you what is available for your market and set up a sensible test.

Are ChatGPT ads worth it?

For many businesses, yes, because people use ChatGPT while they are researching what to buy. The only way to know for your business is a tracked test against your existing channels, which is how I run it.

How much should I spend?

Start with a test budget you are comfortable learning with, usually a few weeks of spend that is big enough to get real conversions. We scale only once the numbers stack up.

Do ChatGPT ads replace Google Ads?

No. They sit alongside search and social. Some customers will find you on Google, some in ChatGPT, and the reporting shows which is more profitable.

Can you audit my existing ChatGPT ads?

Yes. I check the setup, targeting, creative and tracking, and give you a plain-English list of what to fix.
