Your customers have stopped Googling and started asking. ChatGPT now serves sponsored placements to 800M+ weekly users at the exact moment they decide what to buy. As a Dubai-based ChatGPT Ads agency, SellThru gets GCC brands live on OpenAI’s ad platform today — we set up the ChatGPT Ads account, fund it, wire your tracking, and launch campaigns targeted to the UAE and wider GCC.
Dermatologist-tested. Free next-day delivery across the UAE.
ChatGPT Ads appear as a single, clearly-labelled sponsored card beneath an answer — after the user has already described their problem in their own words. That self-qualification is why conversational traffic converts several times higher than search or social, even though it clicks less often. Early ChatGPT Ads data tells a consistent story.
Sources: OpenAI; Criteo (Feb 2026); Similarweb; Adobe; industry ChatGPT Ads benchmark studies, 2026. Figures are early-market and directional — we set conservative targets and replace them with your live campaign data.
Search didn’t die — it moved into the chat. Buying decisions that used to start with ten blue links now start with a single question to ChatGPT, and one advertiser gets to answer it.
Every matched conversation goes to one advertiser, and the ad never changes the answer itself. For GCC brands the real story is timing: self-serve access hasn’t opened locally yet — which is exactly where a Dubai ChatGPT Ads agency like SellThru comes in.
Because ChatGPT Ads rolled out market-by-market, brands in the UAE and GCC often can’t open a self-serve account directly yet. SellThru operates an OpenAI Ads Manager account and runs your ChatGPT Ads campaigns from it — geo-targeted to the UAE and other GCC countries — so you can start testing this channel now instead of waiting for the local rollout.
Get Early Access via SellThru →ChatGPT Ads reward businesses whose customers research before they buy or book — high-consideration, high-value decisions where people ask questions, compare options and want reassurance. In the GCC, these categories are already seeing the strongest early traction.
Patients ask ChatGPT about treatments, costs and recovery long before booking. High treatment values and long research cycles make aesthetic, dental and fertility clinics a natural fit — a single booked consultation can return the whole test budget.
“Best company to…” questions are exactly how people choose service providers now. Being the recommended answer at the moment of intent beats competing on ten search links — especially for considered, quote-based jobs.
Company formation, visas, tax and legal questions are among the most common ChatGPT prompts in the UAE. High client lifetime value means even a handful of qualified leads makes the channel pay.
Buyers and renters research neighbourhoods, prices and developers conversationally. Large deal sizes make ChatGPT Ads efficient even at premium cost-per-lead, capturing intent earlier than portals.
Prospective students and parents ask ChatGPT to compare programs, fees and outcomes. Long decision windows and high enrolment values reward brands that show up early and credibly.
Product-feed placements put your catalogue into “what should I buy” moments. Best for higher-ticket or research-heavy goods where shoppers weigh options — and 90%+ of ChatGPT traffic is brand-new customers.
Accounts, cards, insurance and investment questions carry high intent and high value. Strong tracking lets us optimise straight to applications and funded accounts, not just clicks.
Trip and “best place to…” planning happens in chat now. Great for hotels, experiences and medical-tourism packages where travellers compare before committing.
App-install and lead objectives (like our live UAE campaign) suit tools people evaluate by asking for recommendations. The App Pixel ties spend directly to installs and activations.
Not on this list? If your customers ask questions before they buy, ChatGPT Ads can likely work — we’ll assess fit honestly before recommending a budget.
Running ChatGPT Ads well comes down to showing up in the right conversations, with the right message, and measuring what actually happens. Here’s how our team runs every account.
We map the real questions your buyers ask ChatGPT and write clear descriptions of those moments — so your ad shows up in conversations that actually lead to sales.
We write and design sponsored cards that read as a helpful next step in the conversation — clear headline, real benefit, strong image — not an interruption.
We set up your Web & App Pixels and connect the Conversions API, so ChatGPT optimises toward leads, installs and orders — not just clicks.
Campaigns are targeted to the UAE and neighbouring markets, with Arabic and English creative wherever it lifts performance.
ChatGPT gets fewer but higher-quality clicks, so we judge success on actual conversions and blended ROAS — with holdout tests to prove true impact.
Whether or not you can access ChatGPT Ads in your market yet, there’s a route to launch. Pick the model that fits your setup — our Dubai team handles the technical lift either way.
Best if you can’t open ChatGPT Ads locally yet, or want zero setup friction
Best if you already have (or can open) your own OpenAI Ads Manager
We provision the OpenAI Ads Manager account and link funding, or connect to your existing account with the right roles and permissions.
We install your Web & App Pixels, wire the Conversions API, define the conversion events that matter, and connect a product feed for eligible campaigns.
We structure ChatGPT Ads by objective, write context hints and answer-native creative, set GCC geo-targeting, and go live with a controlled test budget.
Using CAPI, geo-holdouts and blended ROAS, we prove true impact, cut what doesn’t work, and scale the winners — all visible in HEADSTART.
These are real screens from SellThru’s ChatGPT Ads Manager — the account, tracking and campaign structure we use to launch GCC brands. When we say we can run ChatGPT Ads for the UAE today, this is what that looks like behind the scenes.

Both a Web Pixel and an App Pixel registered as data sources — the signals that let ChatGPT optimise toward real outcomes.
Standard events — app installed, lead created, order created, checkout started and more — mapped to what each brand counts as success.

Product catalogues connected via CSV, hosted URL or SFTP — powering shopping-style ChatGPT Ads placements for e-commerce brands.

If we run from our account, the Web Pixel is added to your website and the App Pixel into your mobile app so conversions attribute correctly — the same server-side signal discipline we apply to every channel. Our MarTech & Measurement team owns this setup end to end, from GA4 and GTM to the Conversions API.
