Magnify

Connect the channel to product and cross-channel decisions.

01

Campaign hierarchy

Ads Manager uses a familiar hierarchy: campaign, ad group and ad. Campaigns control objective, budget and timing; ad groups organize a shared theme or customer need and can include context hints; ads contain the title, copy, image and landing page.

02

Guided creation and bulk workflows

OpenAI supports guided campaign creation and bulk upload for supported campaign types. Product-feed campaigns use their own creation path rather than the generic bulk-upload flow.

03

Reporting

Advertisers can review table views, charts and CSV reporting across campaign, ad-group and ad levels. Metrics include impressions, clicks, spend, CTR, average CPC, average CPM and conversions when measurement is configured.

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.

Does Ads Manager support product-feed campaigns?

Yes. Product-feed campaigns are created from a feed workflow. OpenAI notes that bulk campaign upload does not currently create product-feed campaigns.
