Questions about ChatGPT Ads
What are ChatGPT Ads?
Ads that OpenAI shows inside ChatGPT, labeled "sponsored" and placed below the answer. In Europe they have been available in 31 countries including Germany since late August 2026, bookable in Ads Manager at ads.openai.com.
Who sees the ads?
Users on the Free and Go plans, not under 18 and not in temporary chats. ChatGPT shows no ads in Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise.
What do ChatGPT Ads cost?
Depending on the campaign objective, OpenAI bills by CPM, CPC or optimized toward conversions; the price is set in the auction. The minimum budget is 15 euros per day, there is no minimum runtime. In the pilot we compare the costs with the values from paid search and social.
How is it measured?
With the OpenAI pixel in the browser and the Conversions API server to server. Reporting shows impressions, clicks, spend, CTR, CPC, CPM and conversions with attribution windows of 7, 14 or 30 days after click. We integrate both into your existing measurement setup so that ChatGPT Ads is judged by the same numbers as your other channels.
Do advertisers receive the conversation content?
No. OpenAI does not share conversation content, history or memories with advertisers; you receive aggregated performance data of your campaign. In the EEA and Switzerland personalized ads are not available at launch.
Which industries are excluded?
Under OpenAI's advertising policies, financial, health and legal services are generally excluded outside the US, with some finance categories open only to approved advertisers. Excluded worldwide are, among others, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, political advertising and dating. Whether your offer is admitted we check against the current policy before launch.
Which ad formats exist?
The standard ad with advertiser name, favicon, title, copy, landing page and image, and product-feed ads with images, titles, ratings and prices. OpenAI tests further formats in the US first.
How do we start?
With a pilot: one learning question, one defined offer, tracking before the first euro, a runtime after which we decide. Then you know whether and how to scale.
