Here's what we're seeing from advertisers already running: the loudest complaint isn't cost. It's measurement.
Clicks show up in the ChatGPT dashboard and never appear in analytics. Traffic lands as Direct. Spend goes out, something comes back, and nobody can tell the board which is which. It's the same story every new channel tells in its first year, and it's the reason most tests get killed before they get a fair read.
This is the part we've already solved everywhere else. Server-side tracking, offline conversion tracking, CRM-connected attribution. Our Pipeline Intelligence team does this for clients on Google, LinkedIn and Meta every week, and the plumbing is the same here.
So when we hand you a read on ChatGPT Ads, it's cost per qualified opportunity. Not cost per click.
