AI Ads
ChatGPT Ads are live. Create, manage, and measure your campaigns from one dashboard - import the Google Ads you already run, preview every ad before it ships, and catch the issues that quietly stop ads from serving.
Manage every campaign from one place
AI Ads is a full ChatGPT Ads manager, not a prep tool. Connect your OpenAI Advertiser API key and your campaigns, ad groups, and ads sync into four tabs you can actually work in. Toggle a campaign active or paused, bulk-activate or archive, and drill into any campaign for its own performance. Everything you change writes straight back to ChatGPT Ads.
Launch a campaign in three steps
Create a campaign without leaving AI-Advisors. A three-step wizard walks you through the objective (reach or clicks), target locations, and budget, then your ad group and ads - the same fields ChatGPT Ads expects, with inline validation so nothing bounces. New campaigns start paused, so there are no surprise charges while you set up.
Preview every ad before it ships
See exactly how your ad will read inside a ChatGPT answer as you type. The live sponsored-card preview shows your brand, headline, body, and image the way a user will, and a creative checklist flags anything off - a headline that runs long, a missing call to action, no image - before you submit it for review.
An advisor that tells you what to fix
The Ads Advisor watches your account for the things that quietly cost you - an ad that got rejected and stopped serving, a campaign with no ads to show, an ad group running a single creative with nothing to test against - and tells you exactly what to do next. It never touches your budgets or bids; those decisions stay yours.
Bring the Google Ads you already run
Already running Google Ads? Import a campaign and AI-Advisors translates your keywords, headlines, and targeting into a ChatGPT Ads campaign you can review before it launches - convertibility scoring and per-keyword context hints included. Your existing paid-search investment becomes the starting point for AI, not a sunk cost.
See paid and organic AI in one view
AI Analytics lays your ChatGPT Ads and Google Ads spend, clicks, and conversions alongside the organic AI referrals and bot crawls you already track. Paid and organic AI in one picture - so you see what your ad spend did to your whole AI presence, not just what happened inside the ad platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are ChatGPT Ads?
ChatGPT Ads are sponsored placements that appear below AI-generated responses in ChatGPT. They launched on February 9, 2026 as a managed service at $60 CPM with a $200,000 minimum. On April 10, 2026 OpenAI launched a self-serve Ads Manager; the pilot minimum dropped to $50,000 on April 13 and was removed entirely on May 5, 2026 when the Ads Manager opened to all US advertisers. CPMs range from $25 to $60 depending on access path; CPC bidding is now live with $3 to $5 bid floors by category.
How much do ChatGPT Ads cost?
ChatGPT Ads cost between $25 and $60 CPM as of May 2026. Direct negotiated deals anchor closer to the $60 launch rate; Criteo's Commerce Media channel reportedly prices at $25-$35; Jellyfish reports averages around $45. CPC bidding is also live with $3 to $5 bid floors set by category. There is no minimum spend as of May 5, 2026 (was $50,000 from April 13 to May 5; was $200,000 at launch).
Can I run ChatGPT Ads through AI-Advisors?
Yes - that is the core of the AI Ads module. Connect your OpenAI Advertiser API key and you can create, manage, and measure ChatGPT Ads campaigns directly in AI-Advisors: build campaigns, ad groups, and ads, preview every creative, toggle campaigns active or paused, and import your existing Google Ads to convert. Changes sync to your OpenAI Ads account, so AI-Advisors is where you run the program and OpenAI is where the ads serve. You still need an OpenAI Ads account; AI-Advisors connects to it.
Why use AI-Advisors for paid ChatGPT Ads vs just OpenAI's own dashboard?
You can run your whole ChatGPT Ads program from AI-Advisors - create and manage campaigns, preview creative, and catch rejected or non-delivering ads - while OpenAI's dashboard only manages the ads. On top of that, AI-Advisors measures what your spend did to your organic visibility everywhere else: after each launch we benchmark your citation share across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity and show the 7-day lift next to the spend that drove it. Site readiness checks, conversion attribution, and a unified weekly briefing come along for free.
How do ChatGPT Ads differ from Google Ads?
ChatGPT Ads target conversational intent (the actual question someone is asking ChatGPT) where Google Ads target search keywords. They're different layers of the funnel and they're often complementary, which is why AI-Advisors lets you import your Google Ads campaigns directly and convert them into ChatGPT Ads-ready briefs. Your existing PPC investment becomes the seed for your AI strategy, not a sunk cost.
How does the Google Ads to ChatGPT Ads converter work?
Connect your Google Ads account, pick a customer ID, and AI-Advisors pulls your top campaigns sorted by spend. Select one or more and we extract the top keywords plus your ad copy, then return a convertibility score, a per-keyword context hint, and a rewritten headline tuned for ChatGPT's conversational placements. You review the result and launch it as a ChatGPT Ads campaign - or paste keywords manually if you'd rather not connect Google Ads. The integration requires the Growth plan.
Will my Google Ads account data leak to other AI-Advisors customers?
No. The Google Ads OAuth token is stored encrypted, scoped to your organization, and only accessible to authorized members of your account. We use the read-only adwords scope, so AI-Advisors cannot create campaigns, change bids, or modify anything in your Google Ads account.
What is ChatGPT Ads readiness?
ChatGPT Ads readiness is whether AI ad crawlers can actually reach and read the pages your ads point to - because an ad that sends a paid click to a page AI cannot render wastes the click. The Ads Advisor checks this for you and, when something is off, links you straight to the AEO fix. It is one of the things the Advisor watches, alongside rejected ads and untested ad groups.
Should I wait for ChatGPT Ads to mature or start now?
Start now. As of May 5, 2026, ChatGPT Ads is open to all US advertisers with no minimum spend. Brands that build AI visibility and run early campaigns have targeting data, creative learnings, and platform relationships that late entrants can't replicate. CPC bidding is live; CPA bidding plus third-party measurement are still in development. Early participation compounds when measurement matures and the global auction arrives.
