There are advertisements on ChatGPT? Yes, there are.
And, apparently, Grubhub and 40 other brands are testing in-app measurement in the AI chatbot.
Let’s tackle this one after the other. First and foremost, ChatGPT ads appear as clearly-labeled sponsored recommendation cards positioned below the main artificial intelligence response. They match real-time intent and context of the user’s active conversation rather than utilizing traditional keyword lists or selling your private chat history to advertisers. For RSF, if there lies a difference of these ads compared to Google Ads, for instance, it’s that they’re almost not noticeable. You would agree, right?
These brands are working with OpenAI, the parent company of ChatGPT, which integrates itself with AppsFlyer, a mobile attribution and marketing tracking platform.
AppsFlyer brands itself as a modern marketing cloud. It is a mobile attribution and marketing analytics tool that helps companies track where app downloads come from, measure ad performance, and stop ad fraud. Developers make use of it to see which ads or social posts make people install and use their apps.
On its official website, it says, “The measurement foundation your AI actually needs… Feed AI the right signals to drive growth with AI-ready data infrastructure and mobile-grade measurement across app, web, CTV, PC, console, and beyond.”
With AppsFlyer, in-app measurement is brought to these ChatGPT ads, giving brands the right visibility into installs, in-app buys, and subscriptions via this tool.
Grubhub joins 40 other brands spanning eCommerce, food delivery, and ridesharing testing this integration recently.
Technology correspondent from AdWeek, Trishla Ostwal, who wrote the source piece, posted on her LinkedIn profile, “In Grubhub’s case, the food delivery app has been spending minimally on ChatGPT ads – watching closely to see whether this integration delivers more meaningful performance data on how those ads are actually working. If it does, Grubhub could scale up its ad budget.”
Believe it or not, Grubhub has been in the ChatGPT ads pilot since February, but the correspondent stated that it was “missing a huge chunk of what was happening before,” which its officials likewise pointed out.
So far, some of the other brands that disclosed their appearance on ChatGPT ads include Target, Williams-Sonoma, and The Knot, among others.
You know Target as a big American retail corporation known for its bullseye logo representing its discount department stores. It sells clothing, home goods, electronics, and groceries, and features popular private labels and house brands.
Meanwhile, Williams-Sonoma is also a retail company in the USA, selling high-end kitchenware, cookware, and home furnishings. From Chuck Williams in the 1950s in, where else? Sonoma, California, it has grown into a global multi-brand enterprise headquartered in San Francisco.
Lastly, there’s The Knot, a famous and leading digital wedding planning platform, and vendor store and marketplace. Do you have leads to share? Go make your account today on RSF to pitch those ideas!
