What is ChatGPT Ads?
What is ChatGPT Ads?
ChatGPT Ads is OpenAI's advertising platform: it lets you show sponsored content inside ChatGPT answers, at the exact moment a user asks a question related to your product or service. In practice it takes the form of a banner labeled "Sponsored" that appears at the end of the answer: its peculiarity is that the banner is highly consistent with the context of the answer itself. It does not interrupt the browsing experience: it arrives while the person is actively looking for a solution, as a relevant option for their need.
The logic is advertising inside the conversation flow: the user asks something like "what is the best invoicing software for a small business" and, at the end of the generated answer, a sponsored banner relevant to the question appears. The potential is clear: you are advertising to someone who has already expressed a need, in an environment where the model itself understood the context of the question.
AImpeto designs and manages complete ChatGPT Ads campaigns: from analyzing which questions to show up for, to setup, management and continuous optimization, all included in the service cost. You set the advertising budget, we take care of everything else.

How ads inside ChatGPT work
Ads are not distributed randomly: the platform cross-references the user's question with your targeting needs and shows the ad only when there is real relevance between what is asked and what you offer. The ad appears at the end of the answer, in a banner marked with the "Sponsored" label and always distinguishable from organic content, with a direct link to your page.
The difference from traditional search is context: on a search engine the user types keywords, in ChatGPT they describe a situation. This makes the intent signal much richer and lets you intercept questions that on Google would not even trigger an ad impression.
ChatGPT Ads vs Google Ads: the differences
Google Ads intercepts a structured demand: the user searches "accountant London" and sees accountant ads. ChatGPT Ads intercepts a conversation: the user describes their problem and gets options, both organic and sponsored. They are two different moments of the same buying journey, not two competing channels.
The practical differences: volume on Google is far higher today, but competition (and cost per click) is also much lower on ChatGPT Ads because the platform is new. Early adopters find themselves in a phase where attention is cheaper to buy.
Who should consider it now
ChatGPT Ads is interesting for anyone who wants to position themselves in a channel before competitors crowd in: SMBs with active search budgets, B2B companies with decision processes driven by complex questions, and local businesses that want to show up in answers about nearby purchases.
It is a channel to evaluate with numbers in hand: in the initial consultation we analyze whether your market's questions actually flow through ChatGPT and at what volume, before recommending any investment.
