People now research symptoms, treatments and providers inside ChatGPT. Ads have started appearing there too, and Indian businesses could open advertiser accounts from 31 August 2026. Our account has been verified and serving campaigns since September 2026.
Healthcare is not an open category on this platform yet, and we would rather tell you that than sell you a campaign that cannot run. So we start with eligibility, not budget.
Ads appear inside ChatGPT for people on its free tiers. Paid subscribers do not see them.
Businesses registered in India can open a ChatGPT Ads account. Access is a beta, and approval depends on your category and your ads clearing OpenAI's policy checks.
Healthcare and medicine is a restricted category. OpenAI says it may approve advertisers in healthcare and medicine, rolled out gradually, with approvals reviewed manually case by case.
Ads are kept out of personal health and mental health conversations, so the conversations closest to a patient's clinical question stay ad free.
Indian medical advertising rules still apply to whatever you publish, whichever platform carries it.
Last reviewed: September. OpenAI's ad policy has been revised several times since April 2026, so we review this page monthly.
1. Eligibility review
We assess your practice, your services and your claims against OpenAI's current ad policy, check your landing pages, and support account opening and verification. You get a written go, wait or no, with the reasoning.
2. Readiness build
Conversion tracking through the OpenAI pixel and Conversions API, a landing page built to the platform's requirements, an approved claim library, and creative written for conversational context rather than search keywords.
This work stands on its own. Everything in it also improves how ChatGPT, Gemini and AI search describe your practice organically, so it is not wasted if your category stays restricted.
3. Campaign management, where policy permits
Setup, creative, targeting, budget management, optimisation and monthly reporting, run from a verified account.
Best suited to healthcare-adjacent businesses: wellness services, consumer health products, health education, medical devices sold to consumers, and healthcare organisations wanting to be found in AI answers rather than paid placements.
If you run a clinic or hospital, stage one tells you where you stand before you spend anything.
