OpenAI opened up advertising inside ChatGPT to every business this year, but the platform is still missing basics like a direct HubSpot connection and reliable conversion tracking. Tanner Holman, Head of Paid Media at IMPACT, breaks down who it's actually built for right now (mostly retailers and ecommerce brands with a product feed), who should hold off (most home services and B2B companies), and the simple test framework to use once you're ready to try it.
