Advertising inside ChatGPT, explained.
Factual guides to the OpenAI Ads platform and to running it well, written from the platform documentation. No hype, no numbers we cannot back. Adsonomy is an independent product and is not affiliated with OpenAI.
How ads in ChatGPT work: formats, targeting, bidding, billing and reporting
What OpenAI Ads in ChatGPT are, where they appear, how context hints target them, how bidding and billing work, and what reporting you get.
OpenAI Ads for Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce shops
What a shop needs to advertise in ChatGPT: ad account, product feed over SFTP, pixel, server-side conversions, and how Adsonomy connects each platform.
Ads in ChatGPT for service businesses: leads, appointments and trials
How a service business advertises in ChatGPT: lead conversion events, the CRM feedback loop, chat card creative and hints written from service pages.
OpenAI Ads Manager versus the Ads API: what each can do
What you can do in the OpenAI Ads Manager, what the API adds, what only partners can enable, the limits, and why a management layer sits on top.
Autopilot: how an AI ad manager should be constrained and held to account
How Adsonomy constrains its AI manager: goals, guardrails, per-action policy, spend ceilings, a full change log, kill switch, shadow mode and daily brief.
OpenAI Ads conversion tracking: the pixel, browser events and the Conversions API
How to set up conversion measurement for ads in ChatGPT: create the pixel, install it, fire browser events with an event id, send the same events from your server with the Conversions API, and check that events arrive.
How ads in ChatGPT differ from search and social ads
No keyword auction, contextual matching by meaning, two creative formats, no audiences needed, billing per click or impression, and the controls that do not exist: dayparting, target CPA, webhooks. What that means for running an account.
Contextual targeting in ChatGPT ads: how context hints work and how to write them
What a context hint is, how to write hints as sentences, the ten angles to cover, the replace-on-update behaviour, the open question of language, and how to measure performance per angle.
Budgets, pacing and bidding strategies for ads in ChatGPT
Campaign budgets in micros, daily and lifetime limits, the account daily spend limit and spend limit windows, bidding types and strategies, what CPM, CPC, CPA, CPO and ROAS targets mean, how a controller emulates targets the platform lacks, plans and pacing, and guardrails.
Running ChatGPT ads in the US, the EU and Asia: what changes by market
Location targeting by country, region and market ids, custom audiences outside the EEA and Switzerland, consent expectations in the EU, currency and timezone per ad account, language per ad group as an assumption, and a one-campaign-per-market structure.
