The tips that matter most on ChatGPT ads are simple: write many short ads that each make a different point, describe who you help instead of listing keywords, and let OpenAI's crawler open your landing page. Set up the OpenAI Pixel before you judge any result. Every tip below comes from OpenAI's help pages ([ChatGPT Ads help centre](https://help.openai.com/en/collections/20001223-chatgpt-ads), checked 2026-10-31).

## The 12 tips

1. **Let OpenAI's crawler in.** OpenAI must be able to open your landing page with its crawler, OAI-AdsBot, or your ad can be rejected. It also recommends allowing OAI-SearchBot. Check your firewall and bot protection too, not just robots.txt ([crawler guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001243-advertiser-guidance-for-allowing-openai-web-crawlers)).
2. **Set your country, currency and time zone once.** OpenAI says these three cannot be changed after you create the account.
3. **Treat the daily budget as a weekly average.** A day can spend up to twice your daily budget, and the Sunday to Saturday week up to seven times it. The minimum is INR 725 a day in India, 65 AED in the UAE and 50 SAR in Saudi Arabia ([campaign guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001210-creating-campaigns-for-chatgpt-ads)).
4. **Keep it short.** OpenAI recommends titles of 16 to 24 characters and copy of 32 to 48. The hard limits are 50 and 100.
5. **Write many ads, each on a different angle.** OpenAI says a large, varied set helps its system find more moments where an ad fits. Repeating one message in new words does not count. See [how to write ChatGPT ads](/guides/how-to-write-chatgpt-ads).
6. **Lead with the benefit.** Say what it does, who it is for and when it helps. A catchy line on its own gives ChatGPT little to match.
7. **Decide on creative enhancements.** Since 30 October 2026 OpenAI may rewrite your headline and copy, translate them or change the landing page for each chat, with no preview. Keep your pages current, or switch it off in **Manage settings** ([details](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001614-creative-enhancements-for-chatgpt-ads)).
8. **Write context hints as one clear phrase.** Describe what you sell, who it suits or when it helps. A list of loose keywords helps less. See [how to write context hints](/guides/how-to-write-context-hints-for-chatgpt-ads).
9. **Give each customer need its own ad group.** Split ad groups when the message or landing page changes.
10. **Start with the default bid strategy.** New ad groups use Maximize results, which spends for as many results as it can. Switch to a manual maximum bid if you need a cost limit. For click bids, OpenAI suggests starting at $3 to $5 per click ([the basics](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001207-ads-in-chatgpt-the-basics)).
11. **Track sales, not just clicks.** Use the OpenAI Pixel and the Conversions API together, with the same event ID, and add UTM tags. See [how to track ChatGPT ads conversions](/guides/how-to-track-chatgpt-ads-conversions).
12. **Give it a day.** OpenAI asks you to wait at least 24 hours after launch before reporting zero delivery. Spend figures can lag by 7 to 8 hours.

If you also run Meta ads, start with angles that already hold up there. Marxx tags your Meta ads by hook, angle, format and offer, so you can pick them out ([creative intelligence](/features/creative-intelligence)). We make Marxx.

## A worked example: the daily budget

Say you set INR 1,000 a day. On a busy day the campaign can spend up to INR 2,000. Across the week it will not spend more than INR 7,000. Plan your cash for the week, not the day.

## Where to start

If you only have an hour, do tips 1, 4 and 11: open your landing page to OpenAI's crawler, cut your ads to the recommended lengths and install the Pixel. Those three decide whether your ads run, get read and can be judged.

## FAQ

### What is the minimum budget for ChatGPT ads in India?

INR 725 a day, according to OpenAI's minimum spend table (checked 2026-10-31). The daily budget is an average over the week.

### Do ChatGPT ads use keywords?

No. You add context hints, which describe when your product helps. OpenAI says they are not exact-match keywords and do not guarantee where an ad shows.

### Can I stop OpenAI rewriting my ads?

Yes. Creative enhancements are on by default, but you can switch them off for the account or a campaign in Manage settings.
