6 Months Into ChatGPT Ads: Why Advertisers Still Don’t Know What Good Performance Looks Like

Six months into ChatGPT Ads, advertisers are still facing a fundamental problem: what does “good performance” actually look like? Reported CPCs can vary dramatically — from around $3 to $15 or even $25 — yet advertisers still lack reliable official benchmarks by industry, campaign type, or objective. In this video, I break down four major challenges facing marketers running ChatGPT Ads: • Wild variation in CPCs and the lack of official benchmarks • The black-box nature of the auction and limited competitive signals • Fragmentation of the ad-eligible audience • The growing dependence on first-party CRM data and third-party attribution to understand real ROAS The bigger lesson is simple: CPC is not the same thing as business performance. When native advertising platforms provide limited visibility, marketers need to connect advertising data with CRM outcomes, qualified leads, revenue, customer lifetime value, and downstream ROAS. For serious advertisers, first-party data, attribution intelligence, and revenue-based measurement should become the source of truth.
