A ChatGPT ad is a sponsored card under the answer, never inside it. Your card carries six parts: your brand name, favicon, a title of up to 50 characters, a description of up to 100, one image and a landing page. Below are six mock ads for businesses in Riyadh, Dubai, Cairo and Ras Al Khaimah, plus one weak version you should avoid.<\/p>\n

Key takeaways<\/h2>\n
Read these five points before you write a single ad, because each one changes what you can put in your card and who will see it. Every point comes from a named source, so you can check it yourself before you brief your team or your agency.<\/p>\n

OpenAI says ads appear below the end of a response, are labelled as sponsored, and are shown only to logged-in adults on the Free and Go plans; Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu users see none.<\/li>\n
Adobe’s documentation for ChatGPT chat card ads caps the title at 50 characters and the description at 100, with a JPG or PNG image of up to 20 MB and a square image of at least 256 x 256 pixels recommended.<\/li>\n
OpenAI’s Ads Manager availability page listed 13 Arab countries when we checked it on 27 October 2026, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar and Kuwait.<\/li>\n
Statcounter gives ChatGPT 75% of Saudi AI chatbot page views in September 2026, ahead of Gemini at 16.54%, which makes it the AI assistant most Saudi buyers actually open.<\/li>\n
OpenAI’s ad policy disallows ads for hospitals, clinical care providers, legal services and cryptocurrency, so several of the Gulf’s biggest search categories cannot copy any example below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What does a ChatGPT ad look like?<\/h2>\n
A ChatGPT ad looks like a compact product card under the answer. Your buyer asks a question, ChatGPT answers it in full, and a labelled sponsored unit may appear below. OpenAI says the ad does not change the answer, and you never see the chat itself. Your card must make sense after a complete answer.<\/p>\n
That last point shapes everything you write. On Google, your ad competes with ten blue links for the first click, and the searcher has read nothing yet. In ChatGPT, your reader has usually already got what they asked for, often in three or four careful paragraphs that compared options, explained trade-offs and named a few products. Your card is not the answer. It is the next step after the answer, so it works best when it names a concrete offer that a general answer could never give, such as a price in riyals, a delivery date in Jeddah, a warranty that only your store honours or a free level test at your centre.<\/p>\n
