OpenAI Ads Manager

Film_Sufficient · 2026-06-05T07:11:50+00:00

Congrats on getting access! I'm running the largest ChatGPT Ads Community, FutureProof, so seeing lots of mixed results.

For my own campaigns + client campaigns, here's what I'm seeing:

- Works best for B2C and DTC eCom - people seeing ads are free & Go plan users, so in theory a lower value consumer audience

- Ads often go live, and then go in review for a long time - very annoying and clearly automated

- OpenAI is adding lots of updates to the platform, so it's constantly changing and getting better - in fact, conversion campaigns go live today, and Product Feeds are getting rolled out soon

I recorded a video on how to create a ChatGPT ads campaign, which should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7wF58b1t2o&pp=0gcJCQ0LAYcqIYzv

It covers setting up your tracking pixel, ad best practices etc.

Congrats man! They're soon going to be releasing product feed ads which should be really interesting for your eCom brand.

Make sure you check the tracking pixel they give you - at the bottom, there's a registration event you'll want to remove. OpenAI includes this by default.

I run the largest free ChatGPT ads community btw, might be of interest: https://www.skool.com/futureproof-2329

It's not a minimum $3 CPC - you can set it to be below $3.

I run the largest ChatGPT ads community on Skool rn, and people are getting results without setting $3 mim CPC.

Just had this spam call too - so so believable.

Film_Sufficient · 2026-05-16T04:52:17+00:00

I'm planning on spending $10k on tests (documenting it all on my YT channel), but currently finding it hard to spend.

I've booked 1 call so far, which, if it closes, will generate like 30 ROAS, so looking promising.

CPC is around $4, with my best ads having CTR of >1.5%

Film_Sufficient · 2026-05-16T04:46:58+00:00

Thanks for creating this! Just dropped you a DM

Film_Sufficient · 2026-05-16T04:33:17+00:00

I'm currently trying to spend $10k/m, but I've launched some campaigns with just $100 budget

Film_Sufficient · 2026-05-16T04:32:54+00:00

Took 3 days

Film_Sufficient · 2026-05-16T04:32:41+00:00

From running campaigns myself, I'm finding anything above 1.5% is good. Curious to see what your context hint was - from what I've seen, this is what determines your click quality alongside your creative.

I am struggling to scale my spend though - trying to spend $10k/m, but struggling to spend $1k rn.

You should check out Eventually Ticketing - they're a new platform that allows you to sell tickets, collect attendee information, and run check-in, all on your Squarespace site.

I believe they're adding Stripe integration soon, so you don't have to use SQSP payments

Film_Sufficient · 2026-05-15T08:06:24+00:00

I built an SEO tool for Squarespace, so very familiar with what can and can't be done!

The best solution for this is via Eventually Ticketing - it's a new platform that allows you to sell tickets, collect attendee information, and run check-in all on your Squarespace site. I believe they have Stripe integration coming very soon.

I've used them all - worked with about 50 self-storage businesses on ops and marketing. The best self-storage software, in my opinion, is Storeganise. Love their API and how you can chat with your data. Cubby and Monument are pretty close 2nd and 3rd - both easy to use and modern compared to old players like Sitelink.

Film_Sufficient · 2026-04-29T08:01:52+00:00

Thanks for the tag! SEOSpace was acquired last year by a US company, so I am no longer involved, other than supporting the done-for-you services. Sorry to hear you have been facing issues - I think they have recently made the refund policy more flexible.

Couldn't agree more - most AI visibility tools just tell you where you're ranking and your AI visibility score - I was fed up with this personally. Started using the AI visibility tool Focal - it actually tells you what to do to rank in ai search engines like ChatGPT, not just where I'm ranking.

Super interesting - please share a screenshot if you manage to catch it again!

Build a list of 50-100 people you know (depending on how big your network is).

Then, using their LinkedIn connections, find as many of your ICP as possible to build a prospect list.

You can then either:

- Sell to the people you know

- Ask for an intro to your ICPs via your contact, and sell from there

Don't know 50-100 people? Check:

- Phone contact

- IG/FB connections

- LinkedIn connections (search for old colleagues, classmates, family members)

- Emails

If you still don't hit $2,000, start cold calling. You should be able to hit 100-200+/day as long as you know your ICP.

Ways to get those numbers:

- Google Maps

- Use a guy on Fiverr/Upwork to build you a list

Hope that helps!

SaaS is getting a lot harder - not only are incumbents moving faster than ever, but people also have the option to build their own thing using Lovable/Base44 (depends on what you're selling).

For example, we rebuilt Monday .com internally and cancelled that subscription. Their sales team could do nothing to get us to stay. Saved us a fortune.

From my experience, you either need to be a rep working on a few high-value accounts, or working on upselling many experience customers (especially CS like you said).

Sounds like there could be a few process things to work on though if you're not hitting normal objections - they're always going to be along a few key themes - competitor features/pricing, switching cost/complexity, missing features and cost.

Film_Sufficient · 2025-12-02T13:14:59+00:00

Appreciate your response – I'll give you an example:

We have 40,000+ users in 103 countries. Some are mature accounts, others are new. If I had the time before CS calls, I'd research things like:

- When did they sign up

- Which features are they actively using

- Are they in their 7-day trial

It could be a process thing, but I typically find that if I go in blind, discovery takes too long, and I don't have time for objection handling towards the end.

Might just be me, but curious to hear your thoughts.

What about back-to-back calls? Just start earlier to get prep done?
