As consumers turn to AI assistants to research products and compare options, advertisers have another channel to consider: conversational advertising. ChatGPT’s advertising platform introduces a way for brands to appear alongside relevant conversations. Here’s what businesses should know, and how to approach this emerging opportunity.
Unlike traditional keyword-based campaigns, the approach described in the report matches advertisements to the context of a user’s conversation.
For example, someone comparing travel options or exploring home furnishings could encounter an advertisement related to that discussion. Sponsored placements are described as clearly labeled and separate from the AI-generated answer.
For advertisers, the opportunity is to connect an offer with a specific customer need.
In a conversational environment, useful information should take priority over broad promotional language.
When preparing creative, focus on:
Rather than repeating one message, develop different creative angles around the questions your customers ask before purchasing.
A new advertising channel deserves a measured approach—not an immediate shift in your entire budget.
Start with a clear objective, a controlled test budget and reliable tracking. Evaluate whether campaigns generate meaningful actions, such as qualified enquiries or purchases, rather than judging success by clicks alone.
The aim is to understand whether the channel adds value to your existing marketing mix.
ChatGPT advertising is worth evaluating alongside search and social campaigns. Its relevance will depend on your audience, your offer, market availability and measurable performance.
The best starting point remains the same: understand your customers, define your goals and choose channels with a clear purpose.
