ChatGPT Ads Management

Helping Australian Businesses Advertise on ChatGPT

ChatGPT Ads are creating a new way for businesses to reach people while they research, compare and make decisions through AI. Viva Digital helps Australian businesses assess, set up and manage ChatGPT advertising campaigns, from strategy and creative through to optimisation, tracking and reporting.

ChatGPT Ads are an evolving advertising channel, so we don’t recommend investing simply because it’s new. We’ll look at your business, goals, existing marketing and budget first, then help you decide whether ChatGPT Ads are the right fit.

We’re a digital marketing consultant based on the Sunshine Coast, working with businesses across Australia.

Talk to Us About ChatGPT Ads

What Are ChatGPT Ads?

ChatGPT Ads are paid advertising placements that appear below ChatGPT responses and are clearly identified as sponsored content. They give eligible businesses an opportunity to reach relevant audiences while people research, compare products and services, and make decisions through ChatGPT. For businesses also focused on AI search optimisation, organic visibility can complement paid advertising across AI-powered search experiences.

Unlike traditional search advertising, ChatGPT Ads operate within a conversational environment. Ad selection can consider the context and intent of the current conversation, the ad’s landing page, title, copy and advertiser-provided context hints, along with other signals where applicable.

In simple terms, ChatGPT Ads allow businesses to promote their products or services to relevant audiences within the ChatGPT experience.

How Does ChatGPT Advertising Work?

ChatGPT advertising differs from traditional Google Ads campaigns, using relevance signals such as conversation context, user intent, and ad content. Advertisers can set objectives and budgets, create targeted ad groups and variations, and refine campaigns based on performance.

From Campaign Setup to Optimisation

Define the campaign objective

Choose the objective that aligns with your business goal, such as reach, clicks or conversions.

Build focused ad groups

Organise ads around relevant themes, audiences or use cases and provide appropriate context hints.

Launch and monitor

Once the campaign is approved and serving, monitor delivery and performance.

Create and Refine Your Ads

Develop clear titles, copy, images and landing pages that communicate the value of your offer.

Optimise Based on Performance Data

Use campaign data to refine budgets, creative, ad groups and other campaign elements over time.

This is much closer to how the platform actually works today. OpenAI’s current campaign structure includes campaign, ad group and ad levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are ChatGPT Ads?

ChatGPT Ads are sponsored or promoted placements that appear within conversations on OpenAI’s ChatGPT, similar in concept to sponsored results inside Google Search, but triggered by conversational context rather than a keyword query. This is a newly emerging advertising channel for Australian businesses. As more Australians use ChatGPT for research, product comparisons, and buying advice, brands are looking at how to appear in those conversations, paid or earned.

How is ChatGPT advertising different from Google Ads?

Google Ads primarily uses search queries and other targeting signals to match ads with users. ChatGPT Ads operate within a conversational environment, where ad selection can consider conversation context, intent and other relevance signals. This means campaign structure, creative and targeting need to be approached differently.

How can I advertise on ChatGPT?

Eligible businesses can create and manage ChatGPT advertising campaigns through OpenAI’s Ads Manager. Campaigns can be structured around objectives, budgets, ad groups, context hints, creative and landing pages, with performance monitored through Ads Manager.

Do I need a Google Ads campaign before trying ChatGPT Ads?

No. You don’t need an existing Google Ads campaign to advertise on ChatGPT. However, businesses with a clear offer, reliable conversion tracking and established digital marketing foundations may be better positioned to test a new advertising channel effectively.

Can Viva Digital manage ChatGPT Ads campaigns for my business?

Yes. Viva Digital can help Australian businesses assess, plan and manage eligible ChatGPT Ads campaigns, including strategy, campaign setup, creative, optimisation, tracking and reporting. We’ll also help you determine whether ChatGPT Ads are appropriate for your business before recommending campaign spend.

How much do ChatGPT Ads cost?

ChatGPT Ads costs depend on the campaign objective, buying model, budget and targeting. Businesses can set campaign budgets and use available buying options through Ads Manager. Your recommended budget will depend on your goals, audience and testing requirements.

Is ChatGPT advertising worth it for small businesses in Australia?

It depends on your goals, budget, and existing digital foundations. For small Australian businesses without established Google Ads or SEO, those channels will typically deliver better returns right now. For businesses with mature paid search foundations looking to diversify and capture customers earlier in their decision process, ChatGPT Ads represent a genuine early-mover opportunity. We’ll give you an honest assessment rather than recommend a channel that isn’t right for you.
