When an ad is submitted, the company may visit its destination to assess compliance with its policies. It may also use the page content to determine when the ad is most relevant to users. ## Why it matters for marketing For those planning media, this makes the landing page part of the ad assessment. The team should check that the agent receives the offer, terms and notices they intend to present to the audience. An access block may prevent this review; however, a visit does not prove campaign approval or delivery. ## Example in practice Suppose a school submits a course enrollment page as an ad. The logs show a visit from OAI-AdsBot to the submitted URL, but the response delivers an outdated version of the offer, with a different price. The team requests a review of the cached content and checks the offer served before interpreting any platform assessment. ## How to apply or verify The person responsible for the site can check the logs for the submitted destination, time, response and page actually delivered. To investigate the source, compare the IP with OpenAI’s official list of OAI-AdsBot IPs. Also keep a copy of the submitted offer. The identifier in the header alone does not prove that the request came from this agent. ## Important distinctions The documentation reviewed states that OAI-AdsBot visits only pages submitted as ads and that its data is not used to train generative foundation models. It does not specify a [robots.txt](/en/resources/glossary/robots-txt) control for this agent; do not apply the rules for [GPTBot](/en/resources/glossary/gptbot) or [OAI-SearchBot](/en/resources/glossary/oai-searchbot). Ad safety, display relevance and organic discovery are different decisions, with no guarantee of approval or placement. ## Sources and references - [Overview of OpenAI Crawlers]() — OpenAI ## Continue a leitura - [Crawler purpose category]() - [ChatGPT]() - [Crawler]() ## About the author [Vinicius Pacheco]() Responsible for Tropk’s technical content, focusing on crawling, indexing, structured data, and agent access to content. --- [All pages in Markdown]()
