ChatGPT Ads in Rewari: a practical starting point

Step one: start with the question your customer asks

Before opening Ads Manager, write down the questions your best customers ask before they first call you. ChatGPT ads are chosen by how well an ad matches the context and intent of a conversation, so if your customers never have that kind of conversation, there is nothing to match.

For a Rewari component supplier, the questions might be what to check when adding a second source for a machined part, or how to compare suppliers outside Gurugram on lead time. For a local shop, they might be what to consider when buying furniture for a new house, or which inverter suits a home with a particular load. We do not have figures on how often any of these are asked; the point is to test whether your customer behaves like this at all.

Step two: check your business type against the rules

The basics, in brief: ads appear below a ChatGPT answer for users on the Free and Go plans, labelled as sponsored and separate from the answer, and India is listed as available for self-service Ads Manager. The full walkthrough is in our ChatGPT Ads India guide. What matters at this step is whether your category is welcome.

• Metal and auto-component suppliers — A reasonable fit for a test, because buyers research suppliers carefully and are often outside Rewari.
• Considered retail — Furniture, electronics, building materials and similar purchases where people ask for comparisons first.
• Service businesses — Contractors, interior work, event services and training, where a customer plans before choosing.
• Clinics and health services — A poor fit. Ads are not eligible near sensitive topics including personal health and mental health, and even eligible health advertisers are not placed near sensitive user content.
• Political promotion — Not allowed at all.

Step three: see what Rewari looks like in the location settings

Location targeting starts at country level, and for most campaigns also offers states or regions, cities, markets and postal codes where available. Availability varies by country. During setup, check whether Rewari appears as a city and whether its postal codes are listed. Do this before writing any copy, because the answer decides which businesses should continue.

A supplier selling into the Gurugram–Manesar belt may want Haryana plus Delhi, or simply all of India, and a missing town listing makes no difference to it. A Rewari shop is different: if neither the city nor its postal codes can be chosen, state-level targeting spends money on people who will never visit. In that case, stop here and put the budget into local channels. OpenAI does not list a radius option, so there is no workaround of that kind.

Step four: write context hints and a page that match

Each ad group carries context hints that describe the conversations it suits. They are not keywords you bid on. For a component supplier, a hint might describe manufacturers near Gurugram looking for a dependable second source for machined parts. For a furniture showroom, it might describe families in Rewari furnishing a new home. Keep one clear situation per ad group, so the reporting tells you something.

The landing page has to carry the same message. A supplier’s page should list processes, materials, capacity, quality certifications you genuinely hold, typical lead times and a named contact. A shop’s page should show stock, address, timings and directions. Someone arriving from a ChatGPT conversation has often done their background reading already, so give specifics, not a slogan.

Step five: keep the first test small and readable

OpenAI advises new advertisers to start with a daily budget. That daily figure is averaged over a Sunday to Saturday week, so a single day can spend up to twice the daily amount, while the week will not exceed seven times it. There is also a platform minimum for INR billing, covered in the questions below. Decide the test length and the total you are comfortable losing before launch.

Pick the objective deliberately. Clicks is billed per valid click; Conversions optimises towards an outcome you define but is still billed per click or per thousand impressions, never per conversion. Reporting is aggregated, mostly views and clicks, so track enquiries on your own side with a form or a dedicated phone number, and judge the test on those.
