Two months after launching ads in ChatGPT, advertisers are experimenting \u2014 but still lack clear measurement tools and performance benchmarks.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Early campaigns are largely impression-based, with little insight into outcomes.<\/li>\n<li>CPMs have reportedly been high, with initial minimum spends in the six figures.<\/li>\n<li>Some advertisers say the product feels early and slow to mature.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The vibe check<\/strong>. According to Ad Age reporting, advertiser sentiment sits somewhere between cautious optimism and frustration.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimism stems from ChatGPT\u2019s position as a leading consumer AI platform.<\/li>\n<li>Frustration centers on lack of transparency, targeting, and reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Why we care.<\/strong> This report this highlights both the opportunity and risk of investing in AI ad platforms early. While ChatGPT offers access to a fast-growing, high-intent audience, the lack of measurement and evolving product features make it a challenging channel to justify at scale. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a signal to test thoughtfully and start building an AI strategy without overcommitting budget too soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bigger picture<\/strong>. OpenAI\u2019s ad push comes as it juggles multiple priorities \u2014 from AI development to enterprise growth \u2014 while facing rising competition from Google and Anthropic.<\/p>\n<p>Some in the industry see OpenAI as having \u201ccast too wide a net,\u201d experimenting across video, commerce, and other products before refocusing. Its Instant Checkout commerce feature was quietly pulled back whilst video ambitions have also lost ground to competitors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How ads actually show up<\/strong>. Early tests suggest ads may influence user journeys \u2014 but not always directly.<\/p>\n<p>In one example, a sponsored retailer appeared more prominently in recommendations, even when multiple options were listed. Still, platforms maintain that ads do not directly alter core answers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" http: alt=\"ChatGPT Ads\" class=\"wp-image-474730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads.avif 1440w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads-768x432.avif 768w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads-1200x675.avif 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads.avif\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads.avif\" alt=\"ChatGPT Ads\" class=\"wp-image-474730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads.avif 1440w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads-768x432.avif 768w, https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/wp-content\/seloads\/2026\/04\/ChatGPT-ads-1200x675.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Yes, but<\/strong>. There\u2019s ongoing tension between consumer trust (keeping answers unbiased), and advertiser goals (increasing visibility and influence).<\/p>\n<p>That balance will likely shape how AI ads evolve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What marketers should do now<\/strong>. Experts say brands don\u2019t need to rush in. Large brands may benefit from early testing whilst others can focus on strategy development while the space matures.
