Generate Leads Directly From ChatGPT.

ChatGPT now carries ads. They appear at the end of an answer, while someone is weighing up options and getting close to a decision. It's a conversation, not a feed or a results page. The channel is new and still early, which is exactly why it's worth being there now. We get you set up properly and measured from day one.

Why it matters now

People come to ChatGPT to decide, not just to ask.

They describe what they need, compare the options, and act on what comes back. Ads now sit inside that conversation.

01

People are already deciding

People reach for ChatGPT mid-decision. They're researching a product, narrowing a shortlist, asking what to book. An ad that fits that moment lands differently to one that interrupts a scroll.

02

Reach that's already enormous

ChatGPT handles around 2.5 billion prompts a day from over 800 million weekly users. That audience already exists, and it's using ChatGPT for exactly the kind of research that leads to a purchase.

03

Early enough to matter

Most of your competitors haven't worked this channel out yet. Early advertisers are reporting strong, mostly new-customer traffic and low ad dismissal. Get in now and you learn the channel before it gets crowded and expensive.

Search vs conversation

A different kind of demand, captured a different way.

A traditional search is a few words fired into a crowded auction. A ChatGPT prompt is a full description of the problem. That changes what a good ad looks like, and how it gets bought.

Traditional search
Thin intent

A broad query like "family holidays" tells you almost nothing about who's travelling, the budget or when they want to go.

A crowded auction

Your ad competes with a page full of rivals for the same click, and the cost climbs with every bidder.

The work lands on the visitor

They still have to dig through your site to find the answer that actually fits their situation.

ChatGPT conversation
Rich intent

Someone types "somewhere hot in October, two kids, direct flights, under £2k" - the whole brief, before an ad ever appears.

Context-led placement

Ads are matched to the meaning of the conversation, so relevance can win placements a raw keyword bid never would.

A shorter path to action

The buyer arrives already briefed. Point them at a page that answers the exact prompt and there's far less friction.

Under the hood

The plumbing that makes it perform.

ChatGPT Ads don't behave like search ads, so they can't be set up like them. Three things sit behind every campaign we run.

Semantic mapping

Instead of rigid exact-match keywords, we describe the situations your brand genuinely helps with, so the model knows which conversations you belong in and which you don't.

Relevance-weighted bidding

The auction leans heavily on how well you fit the moment. Get the mapping and creative right and a well-matched smaller brand can hold placements against bigger budgets.

Server-side measurement

Browser pixels miss too much. We feed real conversions from your CRM or store back to the platform server-side, so bidding optimises against actual revenue, not proxies.

A trusted environment

Built so people keep trusting it.

OpenAI has been careful about how ads work in ChatGPT, because the whole thing depends on people trusting the answers. For advertisers that's a good thing. It means a clean, brand-safe place to show up.

Clearly labeled

Ads are marked as ads. People always know what they're looking at.

Separate from answers

Ads sit apart from ChatGPT's response. They don't shape or bias what the model tells someone.

Choice and control

People control how their data is used. Conversations stay private from advertisers.

Long-term value

OpenAI isn't optimising for time spent or chasing revenue over experience. The rollout is measured on purpose.

Our approach

How we run ChatGPT Ads.

The platform is new, but running it well comes down to the same basics. Three things have to be right before the spend does any work.

01

Set up on the platform, properly

Ads run through OpenAI's Ads Manager, directly or via partners. We help you get your account, billing, budgets and pacing configured, and we build enough creative variation for the system to actually optimise.

02

Built for the moment of intent

ChatGPT matches ads to the context of a conversation, not just a keyword. We write and structure creative around the questions your buyers are actually asking, so you show up when it's relevant and useful.

03

Measured from day one

CPC and CPM bidding, proper conversion tracking, attribution that ties spend to outcomes. Same as everything else we run. We won't pour budget into a channel we can't measure.

What early advertisers are seeing

It's reaching customers brands weren't already in front of.

"

As an early partner in the ChatGPT ads pilot, we've been able to test and learn in a new environment that brings together discovery, research, and shopping. It's giving us meaningful insight into customer behavior while delivering encouraging early performance.

"

The majority of traffic ChatGPT drove was new visitors, consistent with its discovery-oriented nature. This is an encouraging early signal that the platform has the potential to reach customers who aren't already in our ecosystem.

What we handle

One channel, run the way we run everything.

ChatGPT Ads isn't a silo. We set it up properly, measure it honestly, and join it up with the rest of your activity.

Ads Manager Setup

Account, billing, budgets, pacing and policy compliance configured from scratch.

Contextual Creative

Copy and assets written around the conversations your buyers are having, with enough variation to optimise.

Bid Strategy

CPC and CPM bidding managed against your actual cost targets, not vanity metrics.

Measurement & Attribution

Conversion tracking and reporting that ties ChatGPT spend back to real outcomes.

Intent & Audience Strategy

Mapping where ChatGPT fits against the rest of your funnel and who you're really trying to reach.

Cross-Channel Integration

Run alongside Search and Social so the channels work together instead of competing.

Common questions

The things clients ask first.

Ads are rolling out in stages rather than switching on everywhere at once. The advantage of getting your account, creative and tracking ready now is that you're live the moment inventory opens in your market, instead of scrambling once everyone else has noticed. We'll tell you honestly where things stand for your category on the first call.
No. Search and Social still do the heavy lifting on demand you already have. ChatGPT is an additional channel for research-led, high-context intent that those platforms don't capture as well. We'd rather find a sensible test budget and prove it out than rob a channel that's already working for you.
Not a new site, but usually some dedicated landing pages. Someone arriving from a conversation has already described their problem in detail, so a generic homepage wastes that context. Pages built to answer the specific prompt convert far better, and we'll help you spec and prioritise them.
Server-side. We connect conversions from your CRM or e-commerce platform back to the ad account securely, so bidding optimises against real revenue rather than browser pixels that increasingly get blocked. Reporting ties every pound of spend to an outcome you can see.
Enough for the system to gather signal, but small enough that it's a genuine test. On the first call we'll look at your category, your margins and what you're already spending, then recommend a starting figure with no obligation to go ahead.
No. We run a 90-day trial where fees flex with performance, and you can leave at the end with no complicated exit terms. We'd rather earn the next quarter than lock you into it.
