Are ChatGPT Ads available in India?

Yes. Launch coverage reported ads going live in India from late August 2026, announced on 27 August.

Who sees the ads?

Logged-in adults on the Free and Go tiers. Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education plans are ad-free. One agency reports that under-18 users do not see ads.

Can any business advertise?

Not automatically. See eligibility.

Cost and budget

What is the minimum budget?

The OpenAI help centre documents a minimum daily budget of ₹725 in India.

What are the average CPC and CPM?

No official India averages exist. One agency published a single short test, which it did not present as a benchmark. See cost in India.

How is spend paced?

A daily budget is a seven-day average target, so daily spend can reach up to twice the budget. A campaign total caps spend.

What ad format is used?

A labelled sponsored placement below the answer. One agency reports a short headline, one line of description, a logo and a URL. Confirm in Ads Manager. See creative best practices.

How is targeting done?

By conversation context, plus country and platform choices. Custom audience inclusion needs at least 25,000 matched users. There is no keyword targeting in the Google sense, as far as reports describe.

What objectives can I choose?

Views, Clicks or Conversions, and the objective cannot be changed after creation.

How do I start?

See how to advertise on ChatGPT in India.

Measurement and results

Can I track conversions?

Sources disagree. The help centre lists a Conversions objective, while one agency reported aggregate impressions and clicks only. Verify in your account and use your own analytics. See measuring performance.

Will it beat Google Ads?

Unproven. See ChatGPT Ads vs Google Ads and vs Meta Ads.

Policy and brand safety

What is prohibited?

Adult content, alcohol and tobacco, counterfeit goods, crypto and debt services, gambling, political content, recreational drugs, scams and unsupported wellness claims. Financial, healthcare and legal services are restricted.

Where do ads not appear?

Not in sensitive contexts such as mental health, self-harm or political conversations.

See policies and brand safety.

Ads versus organic visibility

Does paying get me recommended?

No. See paid versus organic visibility. For organic work, see AI search optimization.
