We run your conversational
AI ad campaigns.

Advertising that runs inside AI assistant conversations instead of search results or social feeds. When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or another assistant a question, the answer can include a native sponsored card. You buy that placement against the intent in the prompt, not a keyword or an audience profile. It captures demand the moment it emerges, while the buyer is still describing what they want.

Three things end-to-end. Strategy: we define your conversational funnels, intent clusters, and KPIs using mapou's category benchmark data. Execution and optimization: we configure the ads manager, engineer your knowledge set, build proof-led sponsored card creative, manage bids and pacing, and watch citation alignment between the organic answer and the paid card. Reporting and insights: a live app.mapou.ai workspace with AI Discovery and AI Media Planner, plus a monthly strategy review. We run as an extension of your media team, not another tool to staff.

ChatGPT is where paid placement is live today. OpenAI opened its self-serve Ads Manager in May 2026 with CPC bidding, a tracking pixel, and a Conversions API. We build every campaign so it ports to Gemini, Claude, and the rest of the AI open web as their ad inventory opens, because the underlying work, intent mapping and entity authority, is the same across engines. The dashboard already measures your visibility across all four engines today.

A one-time setup fee covers the readiness audit, knowledge-set engineering, intent mapping, account configuration, pixel and Conversions API install, and first-month creative. A monthly retainer covers ongoing campaign management, optimization, creative iteration, weekly reporting, and your app.mapou.ai access. Media is bought on CPM and CPC today, with CPA bidding coming as the platforms ship it. Ad spend is paid directly to the platform by you, not marked up by us. We scope per brand on the strategy call.

Native sponsored cards inside the AI answer. They read as part of the conversation, so the copy has to earn trust the same way the assistant's answer does: proof-led claims backed by third-party reviews, ratings, certifications, and citation provenance. Display-style or pattern-interrupt creative underperforms here. The gallery on this page shows illustrative examples across travel, finance, wellness, and beauty.

AI Discovery: which prompts your brand wins and loses across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok, and which competitors are appearing in your place. AI Media Planner: prompt clusters scored by commercial intent, mapped to the campaigns we run. You see exactly what the campaign is bidding on and why, with the same benchmark data we use to make decisions.

Free-tier and ChatGPT Go ($8/month) users. ChatGPT Plus ($20), Business, and Enterprise tiers remain ad-free. The rollout started in February 2026 in the US, expanded to UK, Brazil, and Japan in May 2026 with more markets to follow.

Wired ran 500 prompts on the ChatGPT mobile app and reported that roughly one in five questions in a new conversation thread triggered a sponsored card (Reece Rogers, Wired, 2026). Travel and shopping prompts trigger most often. Separately, Profound found that across 260M prompt-level results only about 6% trigger the shopping surface reliably, and eligibility is a stable property of the prompt. Which is exactly why prompt-level intent mapping is the whole game.

When the AI cites your brand as the organic recommendation and your sponsored card appears alongside saying the same thing, trust compounds and conversion rate rises. We build the citation foundation first using app.mapou.ai's AI Discovery data, then time paid activation to match the authority already established.

AI Share of Voice (the percentage of category prompts where the brand is cited or appears in a sponsored card across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok), citation alignment between organic answer and paid card, the platform pixel and Conversions API for purchase and sign-up tracking, and prompt-to-purchase attribution from AI-sourced clicks. Impressions are counted on the IAB viewability standard (at least 50% of the card in view for at least one second), so a billed impression is one a buyer could actually read. Standard CPM, CPC, and CTR sit alongside.

Fourteen days from kickoff to first campaign live. Days 1-3 audit and intent mapping; days 4-7 account setup, knowledge-set engineering, and creative; days 8-12 pilot launch and citation-alignment QA; days 13-14 attribution and 90-day roadmap. Then ongoing weekly optimization under the retainer.

Technically yes, in practice no. A sponsored card that contradicts what the AI says organically destroys trust faster than no card at all. We always start with a baseline citation audit so paid placement and organic answer point at the same brand story. That audit is included in setup.
