Planning & setup

Find your starting point with ChatGPT ads.

Choose a practical route into ChatGPT advertising. Plan around your offer, existing channels, account ownership and the evidence your first test needs.

The right starting point depends on what you already know. A business exploring a new channel needs to choose a useful test. An experienced advertiser needs to understand what transfers from existing campaigns. An agency also needs an agreed way to approve and hand over the work.

Use this learning path to make those decisions in order. Leave with one offer, a destination that supports it, a spending limit and someone responsible for the next step. Follow the branch that matches your situation; you do not need to read every guide before drafting.

Start with the decisions

Questions that move you forward.

01

Is this your first advertising campaign?

Start with a customer problem your business can already solve. Choose a next action you can recognise and fulfil, such as a suitable quote request. A narrowly defined offer makes the first draft easier to review and the eventual enquiries easier to evaluate.

Choose an offer and a first test
02

Are you already running Google Search ads?

Bring the customer knowledge and verified landing-page claims with you. Review the targeting and creative decisions separately before reusing a campaign. Agree what a qualified lead or useful order means on both channels so that your comparison answers a business question.

Plan a fair channel comparison
03

Will the offer come from a product catalogue?

Check whether the advertised selection is available, accurately described and suitable for the intended market. A large catalogue does not need to become a large first test. Start with products that serve one buying need and have usable destination pages.

Prepare the catalogue branch
04

Are you preparing a campaign for a client?

Settle account ownership, billing responsibility and approval before building. Name the person who can verify the offer and the person who authorises submission. Those decisions prevent a finished draft from waiting on access or an unresolved client handover.

Define the agency workflow

Your preparation is useful when you can name…

  • One offer and the customer situation it serves.
  • The page where a visitor can verify that offer and act.
  • An affordable test limit, separate from software costs.
  • The account owner and the person approving the campaign.
  • A meaningful outcome and a date to review the evidence.
  • Any access or review requirement still to resolve before launch.
