Conversational advertising

Advertising shaped by context, not only a query.

Conversational advertising places relevant commercial messages within or alongside an interactive conversation. Unlike a conventional search query, a conversation can express constraints, trade-offs and decision context. Advertisers still need supported platform controls, truthful creative, an appropriate destination and independent measurement.

Questions buyers ask

Conversational advertising: frequently asked questions.

What is conversational advertising?

Conversational advertising is paid media designed for interactive dialogue environments, where relevance can be informed by the topic and intent of a conversation rather than only a short keyword query.

Does conversational advertising use private conversations?

The advertiser should not receive a person’s private conversation. Platform documentation and privacy boundaries determine which signals can be used for placement.

How is it different from search advertising?

Search advertising commonly starts with a query and keyword or audience controls. Conversational advertising can involve richer decision context, but the exact controls depend on the platform.

What makes a good conversational ad?

It should be clearly sponsored, relevant to the current decision, truthful, concise and connected to a destination that fulfills the promise.
