How to Use

  1. Check whether your target markets are among the 89 countries, especially the newly added Latin American, African and South Asian markets
  2. Open a self-service account in Ads Manager at ads.openai.com, or go through a regional technology partner — the two routes differ in how billing is handled
  3. Design creative around conversational intent: an ad surfaced while someone is actively comparing options matches context far better than a generic banner
  4. Watch the principle boundaries once live: do not blend ad copy into the answer voice, because the platform keeps ads and answers explicitly separate
