How to appeal a ChatGPT ads decision

By the Answerbid teamVerified 12 October 20262 min read

Short answer

Use the appeal link in the rejection email or the Request Review button in Ads Manager. OpenAI calls appeals the fastest path to resolution. Contact ads-support@openai.com only if there is no appeal option or an appeal has been pending for more than 7 days, and include your ad account ID and issue category.

Write a good appeal

  • Name the policy you think was misapplied
  • Explain what the product is in one sentence
  • Point to evidence: licence, certification, source for a claim
  • Confirm the ad and page describe the same offer

Questions

Can we appeal industry eligibility?

Yes, via the link in the rejection email or in Ads Manager. Being registered or licensed doesn't automatically make a business eligible.
