The Get started page

How the Get started page tracks your setup: website script, ChatGPT Ads, Google Ads and your first campaign.

Get started in the menu shows your setup progress as a ring and four steps. Each step checks its status live, so you don't have to mark anything done yourself.

The four steps

  1. Website script. Turns to Installed when the first page view arrives from your domain. Until then you see the script to copy and install instructions.
  2. ChatGPT Ads. Paste your API key right on the page. When it is accepted you see a confirmation and your campaigns load.
  3. Google Ads. Click Continue with Google, approve access and choose the account. If you have several accounts, you pick one.
  4. First campaign. Done when a campaign exists and is live in one of your ad accounts.

When something doesn't turn green

  • Script not detected: visit your own site in a normal browser window (not one where you excluded your IP), then reload Get started.
  • ChatGPT key rejected: check that the key belongs to the ad account, not to the OpenAI API platform. See Connect ChatGPT Ads.
  • Google sends you back with an error: see Google Ads connection errors.

Once every step is done, the page stays available as a status check.
