Lifecycle and ads

OpenAI Ads integration

Advertising inside an assistant raises the same question paid search always did: what are you buying that you already earn? The OpenAI Ads integration reads campaign performance next to your organic citation share.

What it is

What the OpenAI Ads integration is

The connection reads campaigns, ad groups, ads and reporting from your own OpenAI Ads account. Nothing is written: no campaigns created, no budgets touched.

It matters because this is the first channel where paid placement and organic citation sit inside the same interface for the buyer. Knowing whether ChatGPT already recommends you for a prompt changes whether paying for that prompt is sensible or wasteful.

What it does

What you can do with it

Four questions the two data sets answer together that neither answers alone.

Prompts where you hold strong organic citation share are the first place to question paid spend.

How it works

How the OpenAI Ads integration works

About a minute to connect, and nothing to maintain afterwards.

1

Connect your OpenAI Ads account

Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose OpenAI Ads. Authorise read access to the ad account.

2

Pick the account

Choose which ad account this brand reads from, so multi-brand and agency setups stay separate.

3

Match ads to prompts

Campaign targeting is lined up against the prompts WriteWorks already tracks, so paid and organic sit on the same rows.

4

Decide what to buy

Prompts you already win become candidates for saving; prompts you lose become briefs.

Who it is for

Who uses the OpenAI Ads integration

The same connection answers a different question depending on who is asking.

Buy placement in an assistant knowing what that assistant already says about you for free.

You bring your own account. The OpenAI Ads integration authenticates with your own account at OpenAI Ads, on your own plan and your own quota. WriteWorks reads the data that account already has access to, and nothing else. Disconnect at any time and the stored credential is deleted.
