ChatGPT ads in Turkey
Yes, ChatGPT ads are live in Turkey. Since mid-September 2026, Turkey has been listed as available in OpenAI’s Ads Manager, and users in Turkey have started to see ads, labelled “Reklam” in the Turkish interface. As of November 2026, a company established in Turkey can open a self-serve Ads Manager account and advertise after business verification, which can take a few days. Working with an agency is not required.
What Turkish advertisers should know
- Business country, currency and time zone cannot be changed after the account is opened.
- New accounts can initially target only their own country; other countries may require identity verification and spend history.
- Check in Ads Manager whether product feed campaigns are available in Turkey.
- Local law applies on top of OpenAI policies: KVKK cookie consent for the Pixel and customer lists, limits on promoting health services, and the advertising ban for lawyers under bar association rules.
Who should test first
Categories where people research and compare before buying, such as B2B services and software, e-commerce, education, tourism and home products, are the strongest candidates. Start with a controlled test budget and realistic expectations, since only adult Free and Go users see ads and measurement is less mature than on Google Ads.
