Appsflyer Brings Mobile Attribution to the Web
Martech vendor Appsflyer announced a Web Performance Measurement solution that extends parts of its mobile attribution capabilities to web environments. The product aims to provide unified attribution, conversion-signal replay to ad networks, cross-channel creative analysis, and combined cost-and-revenue views so advertisers can evaluate app, mobile web and desktop activity on a common measurement basis within Appsflyer’s infrastructure. Appsflyer frames the move as part of an omnichannel strategy already described by Chief Business Officer Gal Ekstein, while Chief Product Officer Barak Witkowski emphasises that gaps between web and mobile measurement drive suboptimal optimizations. The company warns that success depends on signal quality, data hygiene, fraud detection, privacy rules and matching approaches.

OpenAI Enhances ChatGPT Ads with Image Formats and Measurement
OpenAI is expanding ChatGPT Ads with a new visual display ad format during image generation, launching in the U.S. in October 2026. These ads will be clearly labeled and separate from content, ensuring they do not influence responses. Monetizing its free and low-cost tiers, OpenAI targets its 1.2 billion weekly users. Measurement is enhanced through partnerships with Kochava, Hightouch, Tealium, and LiveRamp for conversion data, and attribution partners including AppsFlyer, Triple Whale, Adjust, Rockerbox, Northbeam, and Branch. Geo-based incrementality remains experimental with Haus, Measured, and WorkMagic. Brand suitability pilots with DoubleVerify and IAS evaluate safety rules without accessing conversations. Early results show strong performance, such as WeightWatchers' lower cost per acquisition and Dose's high incremental purchase rate, aiming to unlock larger ad budgets despite limited inventory.
