Case studies

Auto World vertical, OpenAI x Criteo pilot (Apr–Jun 2026)

37% of new-user landed clicks came through the OpenAI x Criteo channel versus 63% sitewide baseline — the channel over-indexes on reaching genuinely new users, not repeat visitors.

Users who clicked an OpenAI x Criteo ad drove 21% higher revenue per customer ($790 vs $654), 20% more transactions per customer (2.56 vs 2.13), at a similar average order value ($309 vs $308), across 432 exposed users versus 344,797 unexposed.

Vendor-reported, not independently verified

1000+ brands live in OpenAI-integration campaigns as of the pilot period

Named testimonials from HP (Colleen Gomez, Global Head of Channel eCommerce), Best Buy (Amy Adams, VP of Media), and VistaPrint (Garima Singh, Senior Manager of Paid AI Media), each describing early but encouraging results specifically from the discovery-oriented, not-already-in-ecosystem nature of the channel.

Capability detail

Commerce Growth

Full-funnel performance platform

Four funnel stages, each with its own optimizer and audience type: Discovery (Video Views Optimizer, 2000+ Commerce Audiences by affinity/prospecting/lookalike/contextual), Consideration (Qualified Visits Optimizer, behavioral/in-market/seasonal), Conversion (Conversions Optimizer, retargeting/event/CRM lists), Repeat Purchase (Revenue Optimizer, predictive churn segments).

So what

Each stage has a genuinely different optimization goal and audience pool — using retargeting audiences at the Discovery stage, or prospecting audiences at Repeat Purchase, misapplies the platform. Match the stage to the objective, not the other way around.

Commerce Max (DSP)

Enterprise Commerce Media DSP

1,300+ direct publisher partners covering 75% of comScore's top 200 sites. Commerce audience data (2,000+ shopping categories) is portable beyond Criteo itself, activatable via Deal ID across 60+ third-party DSPs through Commerce Grid.

So what

The Deal ID portability matters operationally — Criteo's audience data isn't locked to Criteo's own DSP, it can be bought through a client's existing DSP relationship if that's preferred.

OpenAI / ChatGPT integration

Emerging AI-native commerce channel

Product ads surface inside ChatGPT shopping queries via existing Criteo product feed integration — no new legal or technical onboarding required. Setup is three steps: share branding/favicon, confirm product feed, OneTag referral tracking. CPC is dynamically optimized rather than locked.

So what

This reuses existing Criteo paperwork and feed data, so the marginal effort to test it is genuinely low if you already run Criteo — the barrier to trying this channel is much lower than most new-channel pilots.

Measurement detail

Share-of-Voice Visibility Gap methodology

Visibility Gap = OpenAI SOV minus Google SOV, in percentage points, based on share of landed clicks. A negative value means lower visibility on OpenAI versus Google.

So what

Real pilot data (Auto World vertical) showed OpenAI still trailing Google Search on absolute share of voice, but described as an under-used growth vertical — read this as an early-mover opportunity, not yet a primary channel, and size the budget accordingly.

Brand safety controls

Category-level protection across Adult/explicit content, Arms & ammunition, Crime, Death/injury/military conflict, Debated sensitive social issues, Drugs/tobacco/alcohol, and Hate speech, each independently adjustable (Standard/Low/Medium/High), with Adult content, Drugs, and Hate speech carrying active Criteo protection by default.

So what

The default protections aren't all-or-nothing — the adjustable sliders mean a client can genuinely tune sensitivity per category rather than accepting one blanket brand-safety setting.
