This page answers the questions covered by the article Teardown: What a ChatGPT Ads Agency Page Can Actually Prove on groas.com. The article is the full, canonical source.
Direct answer: The article concludes that most ChatGPT ads agency pages sell more certainty than a short channel history can support, noting ad plans confirmed on Jan 16, 2026, a US pilot on Feb 9, self-serve Ads Manager on May 5, and a reported 100,000-plus advertisers across 89 countries by Oct 21. According to the article, buyers should require one dated campaign with spend, clicks, and exact conversion counted, plus a sample weekly log with dates, changes, and reasons. The article recommends running the test in the client's own account with a written cap, success measure, and review date, and scaling only when the CPA earns it.
The article states that three logos without dates, spend, and conversion definition do not establish results. According to the article, a more inspectable example reports 36% lower CPC for its own ChatGPT ads, 29% lower median CPC for the same advertiser, and a 28% median CPC drop from the first to the latest month, tied to Pixel and Conversions API setup with spend shown beside calls, forms, and sales daily. The article recommends asking for the dated campaign and the exact definition of a sale or qualified lead, since CPC is a cost measure, not ROI.

The article states that full-service can describe a course and a Slack channel, a monthly audit deck the buyer implements, or somebody who actually changes the campaigns. According to the article, buyers should ask what happens in week one, whose account holds the campaigns, who checks them afterward, and request a sample weekly action log with dates, changes, and reasons. The article cites one checkable sequence — confirm account and market fit, agree on a spend cap, success measure, and review date, set up in the client's account, check conversion tracking before launch, and send weekly updates on spend, results, and changes — with a 30-day trial followed by a 90-day engagement.

The article states that audit, launch, and optimize are sensible but unverifiable until they name setup work, including what conversion event and landing page will be inspected and who approves the spend cap before money goes out. According to the article, the described setup uses the Pixel and Conversions API with the same event ID, preserves the oppref click reference through redirects, adds UTMs manually because oppref alone does not identify source and medium, and links the campaign to a conversion event. The article recommends requiring a tracking plan, landing-page plan, and a weekly check on click quality and pause triggers, noting that paying for an ad is not buying a citation.

The article recommends asking five questions before giving access to an account or budget: proof of one dated ChatGPT campaign with spend, clicks, and exact conversion counted; who changes the account each week with a sample log; what was changed last among context hints, geo, or bid and why; what the test cap, pause rule, and scale-or-stop date are; and how Pixel, Conversions API, oppref, UTMs, and conversion event are connected. According to the article, buyers should also ask who checks landing-page fit and invalid clicks. The article states that if two answers stay vague, the seller is likely selling instruction rather than management.

The article states the listed US minimum is $25 a day, roughly $750 a month per campaign, with GBP and EUR minimums of 15 a day, which can buy delivery but does not guarantee enough conversions to judge unit economics. According to the article, one published live test spent CA$198.58 for 4,561 impressions and 47 clicks, a 1.03% click-through rate, about CA$4.23 per click, and one conversion. The article recommends setting a written cap, success measure, review date, and rule for pausing or increasing spend before launch.
