Research type: Practical guide
Method: Current OpenAI documentation reviewed September 19, 2026, with original decision tables and clearly fictional worked examples. No live campaign results or performance benchmarks are claimed. Product rules checked separately from the TypeSafe usefulness evaluation.

Write down what a conversion means before you pay to get one.

Otherwise the first reporting meeting becomes an argument about which number is real. One person counts trial starts. Another counts qualified trials. A third reads a report attributed to the day of the ad click. All three can be looking at valid numbers and answering different questions.

OpenAI says it has no recommended bid amount for [conversion-optimized campaigns](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001412-conversion-optimized-campaigns). That is narrower than saying nobody has measured this channel. I would treat any external benchmark as a result from a particular advertiser, objective, market and period, then ask whether those conditions resemble ours.

## Six decisions to make before launch
