Frequently asked questions

GPT Ads are AI-powered advertising placements that appear within conversational AI interfaces like ChatGPT. Unlike traditional search ads that target keywords, GPT Ads target conversational intent and context, allowing brands to appear naturally in AI-generated responses and recommendations.

GPT Ads and Google Ads serve different stages of the buyer journey. Google Ads capture active search intent, while GPT Ads influence the research and consideration phase within AI conversations. Most effective strategies use both channels together.

For brands in competitive markets, GPT Ads offer a first-mover advantage while CPMs are still relatively low. Early adopters are seeing strong engagement rates because users interact with AI responses more deeply than traditional ad placements.
