    A new place to reach buyers, the moment they are deciding

    As of 2026, advertisers in the United States and Canada can run ads inside ChatGPT, with no high spend minimums and no gated access. Sponsored placements appear directly inside conversations, clearly labeled, and matched to what the person is actually discussing. It is a massive, engaged audience with very little competition for attention, and a platform actively courting its first advertisers.

    This is the moment search had in 2002 and social had in 2008

    Every dominant ad channel had a short window when the audience was already there and almost no brands were competing for it. The advertisers who moved early learned what worked and locked in an advantage before costs rose. ChatGPT advertising is that window right now.

    2002

    Search

    AdWords was new. Brands who showed up early learned the channel before costs rose.

    2008

    Social

    Facebook opened ads. Early advertisers built audiences while inventory was cheap.

    AI

    ChatGPT ads open to advertisers in the US and Canada. The window is now.

    An ad that appears inside the answer

    ChatGPT ads are a simple, native unit that fits the conversation. Here is how they work.

    1. 01

      Placement

      Ads appear at the bottom of ChatGPT's answers, clearly labeled as sponsored and separated from the organic response. The answer itself is never influenced by advertisers.

    2. 02

      Targeting

      There are no keywords to buy. The platform matches your ad to the context of the live conversation, so your brand surfaces at the exact moment someone is researching your category.

    3. 03

      Format

      A simple unit: headline, description, image, and link. The creative reads like a natural next step in the conversation rather than an interruption.

    People do not type keywords into ChatGPT

    They describe their situation in full sentences: their budget, their timeline, their constraints, their taste. An ad matched to that conversation reaches a far more qualified prospect than a keyword ever could, and right now very few brands are competing for that moment.

    Two words. Could be anyone, anywhere in the funnel - a buyer, a renter, a student writing a paper.

    Conversation

    "We're a couple with a budget around 900k, looking at 2-bedroom condos near King West in Toronto, ready to close by spring."

    Budget, neighbourhood, unit size, timeline. The match is far more qualified.

    People describe their situation in full sentences. The match is more qualified.

    What a ChatGPT ad looks like in your category

    The format is the same across industries. The difference is the conversation it shows up in. Here are illustrative examples.

    Why move now

    The audience is already there

    Over a billion people use ChatGPT every month, and a growing share of product research, comparisons, and buying decisions now starts in a conversation instead of a search bar.

    Competition is thin

    Most brands have not arrived yet. Early advertisers face limited auction pressure and can learn what works in their category before the platform gets crowded and costs rise.

    Fast track to AI visibility

    Being present in AI conversations is becoming as important as ranking in search. Advertising is the immediate way to claim that visibility while organic AI presence takes time to build.

    A contained pilot, then scale on evidence

    We keep the first campaign focused and measurable. We define the conversation contexts where your buyers already are, write creative that reads as a natural next step rather than an interruption, launch a contained pilot, and report on real performance. From there, scaling is a decision backed by evidence, not a leap.

We treat ChatGPT ads the way we treat every channel: built around your buyer, run for real outcomes, and measured honestly. Because the surface is new, the advantage goes to teams who move early and learn fast. That is exactly how we work.
