ChatGPT ads are coming, whether you're ready or not. OpenAI has confirmed advertising will appear in ChatGPT. The format is expected to be native and contextual. They're building an internal ads team, and the early rollout window looks like 2025 to 2026. So what do you do now, before the ad platform even exists? Here's the preparation framework we use at The Star Conspiracy. Step 1. Map your problem spaces. List the real questions buyers ask, not keywords. Questions like, which platform fits my security needs? Step 2. Build answer-ready creative. Write short, direct, evidence-backed responses that could work as sponsored answers. Step 3. Earn organic presence now. In ChatGPT and Perplexity, paid and will likely reinforce each other. Yum. Step 4. Set up measurement. Naming conventions, landing pages, reporting cadence. Do it early. If you wait, you start from zero at launch. If you prepare, the work pays off either way. Want help mapping your problem spaces? Reach out to The Star Conspiracy.
