What exactly is a ChatGPT ad?
A paid placement inside ChatGPT's answers, bought through OpenAI's Ads Manager. When someone asks ChatGPT something relevant to your business, your brand can appear right in the conversation — at the moment of intent, not after it. It's self-serve and measured like other ad platforms.
Where are ChatGPT Ads available?
OpenAI's rollout in 2026 covers India, 31 European markets, the UK, the US, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico and the Middle East. India was in the first wave of self-serve access — which is why we built this agency around it.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No, and no one honest can. What we control: the technical and content work that lets AI engines verify and quote you, your visibility in the index they read, and paid placement while the organic layer compounds. What we promise is measurement — you see the delta every month.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO wins the page of ten blue links. AEO — answer-engine optimization — wins the single answer: being named and cited when ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews respond. The mechanics overlap (fast, crawlable, structured pages), but the target content and measurement differ. We run both as one system.
What is GEO?
Generative-engine optimization — the same discipline as AEO, focused on generative engines specifically: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity. Research from Princeton measured that adding statistics, quotations and citable claims can raise citation rates by up to 40%. That's the backbone of our content work.
Why does Bing matter so much for AI visibility?
Because ChatGPT's answers lean on Bing's index: an independent study found 87% of ChatGPT citations match Bing's top organic results, versus roughly 56% for Google. Most businesses ignore Bing entirely — which makes it the cheapest visibility lever in AI search. We set up Bing Webmaster Tools and IndexNow on day one.
What's in the free AI-visibility report?
What ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini say about your business when asked the questions your customers ask; where you rank on Google and on Bing; and the three fixes that matter most. It takes us about a day. It's free, and it's yours to keep even if we never work together.
How fast will I see results?
Paid: ChatGPT Ads can be live within days of your approval. Organic: technical fixes show in weeks; entity and citation work compounds over months — same honesty as classic SEO, because it is classic SEO plus new surfaces. The monthly report shows you exactly which curve is moving.
Do you only work with Indian businesses?
No. We're based in India and work with businesses worldwide. ChatGPT Ads are global, and the organic work is language- and country-agnostic. The only filter: a business good enough to be worth recommending.
What kind of businesses can run ChatGPT Ads with you?
We work with businesses of all sizes — from high-growth startups and D2C brands to B2B service firms across India, the US, and worldwide. If your prospective customers use ChatGPT or AI search engines to find solutions, we can put your brand directly in that conversation.
How does pricing work?
Start with the free report. Paid engagements are fixed monthly retainers, quoted after the audit so scope is explicit before you commit. ChatGPT Ads management covers strategy, setup, creative and reporting — your ad spend goes straight to OpenAI under your own account.
Who owns the ad account and the data?
You do — unconditionally. Campaigns run in your own OpenAI Ads Manager account, analytics live in properties you own, and if we ever part ways you keep every asset, report and historical number. No hostage data.
What do you need from me to start?
One intro call, access to your site and analytics, and honesty about your numbers — the baseline report is only as good as the facts we start from. Founder time for the first week: about two hours total.
