ChatGPT Ads and visibility in AI search
Your customers ask ChatGPT instead of Google more and more often. I help your business show up there: with an ad below the answer and, over time, with better chances of being recommended in the answer itself.
For a business dinner in Vienna, these places work well:
Two ways to show up in an AI answer
When someone asks ChatGPT for a provider, there are two places where your business can appear. I take care of both.
ChatGPT Ads
Your ad appears below relevant answers, clearly labelled as sponsored. Once the campaign is approved, the ad can start serving, and you pay per click or per impression.
- fast start
- full control over budget and message
- measurable: clicks, enquiries, cost per enquiry
Visibility in AI search
ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI name businesses they trust. I strengthen the signals these systems rely on, so your name is more likely to come up. It takes time, but there is no cost per click.
- no cost per click
- builds up over months
- also strengthens your Google ranking
Best together: the ad can bring enquiries soon after launch, while AI search visibility builds up in parallel. More on the organic side: SEO Vienna. More: How does your business get into AI search?.
Already running for my clients
I run ChatGPT Ads and work on AI search visibility for my clients in hospitality, real estate and local services. You get a tested process, not an experiment at your own expense.
Who ChatGPT Ads are for
Good fit
- Restaurants, cafés, hotels and leisure
- Real estate, developers and agents
- Salons, studios and local services
- B2B offers that people research before buying
- Online shops and products that need explaining
Heavily restricted for now
- Health and medical services
- Legal services
- most financial services
Outside the US, OpenAI currently allows almost no ads here, though some categories such as health or financial software are allowed. I check your industry in the intro call. AI search visibility works regardless.

FAQ
- Can you already advertise in ChatGPT in Austria and Europe?
- Yes. OpenAI has been showing ads in Austria and other European markets since late August 2026, and since 31 August 2026 businesses can book campaigns themselves in the OpenAI Ads Manager.
- How much do ChatGPT Ads cost?
- You pay per 1,000 impressions or per click. The minimum budget is 15 euros per day per campaign. There are no official click prices for Austria yet, the first month shows the real number. You pay the ad budget directly to OpenAI, my management is a fixed fee on top.
- Who sees the ads?
- Users of ChatGPT Free and ChatGPT Go. People on Plus, Pro or Business see no ads, and under-18s are not shown ads. In the EU there is no personalised advertising at launch, ads are matched to the topic of the conversation.
- Does the ad influence what ChatGPT answers?
- No. Ads appear separately below the answer and are labelled as sponsored. Whether ChatGPT mentions your business in the answer itself depends on other factors. I work on that separately, as part of SEO and AI search visibility.
- Do you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?
- No, nobody can honestly guarantee that. AI answers change with the question and the user. I strengthen the signals AI systems rely on and show you every month where you are already mentioned.
- Who owns the ad account?
- You. The OpenAI Ads Manager account is opened in your company's name, I work in it with invited access. You approve ads and budget.
