AI Ads
See the ads showing up inside AI answers
Sponsored placements are live in ChatGPT. Because we capture the real consumer interface, we can show you which advertisers appear, on which prompts, and whether anyone is bidding on your brand.
Observed placements only. Ads capture runs after each scan.

A new surface
Paid placements arrived inside the answer
AI answers are starting to carry sponsored blocks. Because we read the real ChatGPT interface rather than an API, we can see them. An API response does not contain ads at all, which is why most tools cannot report on this.
- Sponsored blocks captured as their own typed element, with format
- Ads over time, so you can see the surface maturing in your category
- Share of ads by advertiser across your prompt set

Find out who is bidding against you
The most immediately useful view is the one that flags advertisers appearing on prompts where your brand is the subject. In classic search you would have found this in an auction insights report. Here, nobody was reporting it at all.
- Advertisers appearing on prompts about your brand, flagged
- Advertiser and creative tables, with how often each was seen
- Ad coverage: what share of your prompts return a sponsored block
best analytics platform for a small ecommerce team
For a small ecommerce team, a few tools stand out depending on what you need most:
Northlane is usually the best starting point.[1] Setup takes minutes and the reporting is built around revenue rather than pageviews.[2]
Everline is a strong alternative if you already run a warehouse,[3] and Portside is worth a look at higher volume.

3Where it shows
Broken down by prompt and by topic
Ads do not appear evenly. They cluster on commercial, high-intent questions, which are the same questions you most want to win organically. Seeing the overlap tells you where paid pressure is about to make organic harder.
- Ads by topic and by individual prompt
- Cross-reference with your own visibility on the same prompts
- Spot the questions where the answer is becoming pay to play

Also included
Early, and deliberately conservative
This surface is new and moving fast. We would rather under-report it than invent coverage we do not have.
Observed, not inferred
We only report a placement we actually saw rendered. Nothing here is reverse-engineered from a citation pattern.
Advertiser tracking
Advertisers are first-class records, so you can follow one over time rather than re-identifying it every scan.
Ad presence over time
Watch the share of your prompts carrying sponsored blocks. In most categories that number is climbing.
Brand defence
Advertisers appearing on prompts about your own brand are flagged in the module, so you find out from the report rather than from a customer.
Creative capture
The format and content of each placement, so you can see the copy competitors are running, not just that they ran something.
Honest coverage
Ads exist on ChatGPT today. The other engines either do not carry them or do not expose them, and we say so rather than reporting a zero as if it were a finding.
Find out if anyone is bidding on you
Run a scan and we will report every sponsored placement we observe across your prompt set.
