ChatGPT ads show you clicks. We show you what happens next.
The ChatGPT ads platform reports impressions and clicks. It doesn't show you what people asked, what they looked at on your site or whether they booked. We track every visit, test one change at a time and judge every change on bookings.

One week for a Greek villa rental company. Illustrative.
People search Google. They talk to ChatGPT.
On Google, people type a few words and compare a page of ads. On ChatGPT, they describe the holiday they want, get an answer and see one sponsored card. Everything about the ad changes.
For a family of six in mid-July, Corfu's north-east coast and Paxos are good fits. Both have quiet villas with private pools a short walk from the beach.
Around £4,500 for the week is realistic in Corfu if you book before the spring. Look for villas with shaded terraces and air conditioning in the bedrooms.
| Google Ads | ChatGPT ads | |
|---|---|---|
| What people type | 2 to 4 words | A full brief: who's going, dates, budget, must-haves |
| How ads match | Keywords you choose | The conversation, plus past chats and memory when personalised ads are on |
| Ads on screen | Up to 4 at the top, more below | One sponsored card under the answer |
| What you can see | Search terms report | No report of what people asked |
| Where people arrive | Comparing options | Further along, with a shortlist already in mind |
Your landing page has to continue the conversation, not restart it. That's what we test.
Two visitors. Two very different journeys.
The ad platforms count both as a click. We follow each one through your site and connect the visit to the booking.

Four pillars. One change at a time.
Every test sits under one pillar. We change one thing, leave a comparison campaign untouched and read the result on your site, not in the platform.

Landing
Does the page continue the conversation?
- Homepage vs search results
- Pre-set filters
- Single villa pages
A Greek villa company moved its ChatGPT ads from the homepage to filtered search results.
ChatGPT visitors had already picked an island, a group size and a budget in the conversation. The homepage made them start again. Filtered search results showed them matching villas straight away.
4 weeks before vs 4 weeks after
| ChatGPT ad traffic | Homepage | Search results |
|---|---|---|
| Clicks | 1,180 | 1,240 |
| Visits recorded | 1,020 | 1,105 |
| Villas viewed per visit | 1.3 | 3.6 |
| Availability checks | 96 | 402 |
| Booking requests | 11 | 38 |
| Booking request value | £41,800 | £151,200 |
Clicks held steady. The change came from what visitors did after the click.
How we ran it
- Pillar: Landing. One change, the landing page.
- Comparison: one campaign left on the homepage.
- Read: villas viewed, availability checks and booking requests on site.
- Result: booking requests up from 11 to 38. The ChatGPT platform reported 9 conversions for the same period.
- Next test: card copy written for each island.
Illustrative example for a Greek villa rental company targeting UK holidaymakers.
ChatGPT already sends you bookings. Without ads.
People ask ChatGPT where to stay in Greece and click through to your site. Most analytics accounts lump these visits in with referrals or direct traffic.
We separate paid ChatGPT visits from unpaid ones. You see what the ads add on top of what ChatGPT already sends, so you don't pay for bookings you'd get anyway.

Nobody is a ChatGPT ads expert yet. Including us.
ChatGPT ads launched in the UK in June 2026. Every agency has months of data at most. Anyone selling you a proven ChatGPT playbook is guessing.
Every business is different too. What works for a villa company will fail for a software company. The questions people ask, the pages they need and the time they take to decide all change by sector.
So we don't sell a playbook. We sell a testing process. You get a clear answer on whether ChatGPT ads work for your business, backed by what visitors do on your site.
Common questions.
How much budget do I need?
Plan for a test budget, not a channel budget. Most tests need around 300 to 500 clicks before the result means anything. At current ChatGPT click costs, that's roughly £1,000 to £2,000 a month for 4 to 8 weeks.
We agree a fixed amount up front. If the test shows no lift on site, you stop with a clear answer and a small spend.
Will ChatGPT ads work for my business?
We don't know until we test. Businesses where people plan and compare before buying, such as holidays, are a good fit to test first. Every sector behaves differently.
Can I run ChatGPT ads in the UK?
Yes. ChatGPT ads launched in the UK in June 2026. Ads show to logged-in Free and Go users. Plus, Pro and business accounts don't see ads.
Can I see which questions triggered my ad?
No. The platform reports impressions, clicks and conversions by campaign and ad group. It doesn't report what people asked. We split ad groups by theme and read what each theme's visitors do on your site.
How long does a test run?
Two to four weeks per test, depending on volume. One day of data shows direction. Four weeks shows a result.
Should ChatGPT ads replace my Google Ads?
No. Google still carries most search demand. Treat ChatGPT as a test channel on top of what already works, with its own budget.
ChatGPT already recommends us. Do we still need ads?
Maybe not. That's what we measure. If unpaid ChatGPT referrals already bring your best bookings, ads may add little. We show you the split before you scale spend.
What do you need from us?
Access to your analytics and tag manager, your booking data and the ChatGPT ads account. No new software for your team.
Does tracking respect cookie consent?
Yes. Tracking follows each visitor's consent choices. Advertisers never see ChatGPT conversations, names or chat history.
