What you'll learn

Who sees ChatGPT ads, and who never does

Ads run on the Free and Go plans only. Business and Enterprise seats never see them.

What the first numbers show

A 0.73% US click rate across 95,000+ ads, and what single B2B tests found when they tracked clicks to pipeline.

Run the plan check on your own buyers

Find which ChatGPT plan your last 5 closed-won buyers use before you set a budget.

Why this topic matters

OpenAI opened self-serve ad buying in May and its ad business passed a $1B run rate within months, so the pitch to try it is everywhere. One B2B advertiser traced 336 paid clicks to 146 companies, 5 of them in its target market, with no conversions. The question to answer first is whether your buyer is in the audience at all.
