Connect the channel to product and cross-channel decisions.

01

Campaign: define the economic job

Use the campaign level to define objective, budget, dates and the commercial role of the initiative. Avoid mixing fundamentally different business outcomes into one campaign if it makes optimization impossible to interpret.

02

Ad group: one coherent need

Group ads around a shared product, service, theme or customer need. Separate materially different situations when they require different creative or landing pages.

03

Context hints: explain relevance

Write hints that add useful information about the offer, customer and situation. They should not be used as instructions like exact-match keywords or hard delivery restrictions.

04

Creative: multiple distinct angles

Use several genuinely different title and description angles within an ad group so the platform has broader coverage while the experiment remains interpretable.

Magnify operating model

From conversation signal to accountable media decision.

ChatGPT Ads should not become another isolated dashboard. Magnify is building one operating layer across Google Ads, ChatGPT Ads, product intelligence and profit evidence.

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

Are context hints the same as Google Ads keywords?

No. Context hints are natural-language descriptions that help explain when an offer may be relevant. OpenAI says they inform relevance but are not exact-match targeting rules and do not guarantee delivery in specific conversations.

Can ChatGPT Ads measure conversions?

Yes. OpenAI supports conversion measurement using the OpenAI Pixel, the Conversions API, or both. Magnify treats measurement quality as a prerequisite for optimization rather than assuming every reported conversion signal is complete.

Should every context hint get its own ad group?

Not necessarily. Related situations can live in the same ad group when they share the same product, message and landing page. Separate them when the commercial use case meaningfully changes.
