ChatGPT has quietly become one of the internet's most important new storefronts, and it now shows ads. For the first time, brands are bidding to appear inside AI answers. There has just been one problem: nobody could actually see who was advertising there.
That blind spot is now gone. GEOly is the world's first platform that lets you query ChatGPT ads — every advertiser running placements in your category, the creatives they use, and the exact landing pages behind each one.
Why ChatGPT ads are a brand-new battleground
For a decade, paid discovery meant Google and Amazon: keywords, PPC, sponsored listings. Now a third surface has opened. When a shopper asks ChatGPT which robot vacuum under $500 is best, the answer can carry sponsored placements, and the brand that appears captures intent at the exact moment of decision.
This is Generative Engine Marketing, the paid layer of the AI-search era. It is early, it is under-priced, and most brands have no visibility into it at all. You cannot optimize a channel you cannot see.
What GEOly's ChatGPT ad intelligence gives you
- See every advertiser running ads on ChatGPT across the topics you track.
- Compare your own placements against your direct competitors, head to head.
- Drill into the real landing pages behind each ad: the creatives, the offers, and where the traffic goes.
The data: ChatGPT ads are already everywhere
This is not speculation. GEOly has already observed 183,821 ChatGPT ad cards from 3,140 advertisers across 12,598 topics in a single one-month US window. And the advertisers are not scrappy newcomers. They are major retailers and DTC brands already staking out AI mindshare:
Harbor Freight, Quince, Pottery Barn, SCHEELS, Sephora, Ring, Amazon, Home Depot, Chewy. These brands are already buying answer-space while most of their competitors don't even know the auction exists.
Why this matters, for brands and agencies
For brands, ChatGPT ads are where your category's next customers are being intercepted. Knowing who is bidding, on which topics, with what creative and landing page tells you exactly where you are exposed and where the whitespace still is.
