OpenAI announces 26 new markets for ChatGPT Ads. This extension widens conversational media buying, without establishing its effectiveness for luxury brands.
On 21 October, OpenAI announces the availability of ChatGPT Ads in 89 countries, following the addition of 26 markets. The company states that more than 100,000 advertisers have used the platform since its launch a little over eight months earlier. This announcement constitutes a new stage after the Asian expansion of September.
Advertisements remain limited to the Free and Go plans, according to OpenAI. The company asserts that they are identified, separated from the answers and without influence on them; it also states that conversations are not shared with advertisers. These rules are presented as commitments by the provider.
A global audience does not describe a campaign
The international reach of the offering interests brands present in several markets. It does not yet say anything about the quality of a contact, the cost of acquisition or the share of exchanges genuinely linked to a purchase project. The number of advertisers does not allow any conclusion about their satisfaction either.
For a house, the first distinction to preserve concerns the provenance of its visibility. Appearing in a purchased placement and being mentioned in an answer are two different situations. They require neither the same means nor the same evaluation.
Defining what a trial should teach
A media test could seek to understand which requests lead people to consult a collection, a service or an address. It should state its objective before drawing conclusions from its delivery volume. This proposal belongs to Luxsure’s analysis, not to a result published by OpenAI.
The press release mentions future formats and measurement capabilities. At the documented stage, the one certain novelty is the extension of access. Deciding on an investment still requires checking the purchasing conditions and the observable results for the market and offering concerned.
