Your customers no longer
just search. They ask.

Where this actually stands right now

What is changing

Search is becoming
a conversation.

01 / 04
Then

your customer typed three words into the search box and worked through the results list: winter tyres CUPRA Frankfurt

Now

they describe the situation in a full sentence — and expect a finished recommendation: Which winter tyres fit my CUPRA, and where can I have them fitted in Frankfurt?

Three words become twenty — and a list of links becomes a recommendation. Entirely new touchpoints appear between the question, the recommendation and the purchase decision. Keyword marketing turns into intent marketing: no longer what someone is searching for, but what they are trying to achieve.

01

„Which all-season tyre suits my vehicle, and where can I have it fitted nearby?"

Conversation → Ad → Dealer page → Appointment

02

„Which machine is suitable for narrow building sites, and which dealer offers service in my region?"

03

„Which payroll software is right for a company with 800 employees?"

These three building blocks decide the success of any later campaign — and they take effect today, regardless of when advertising access opens.

01

GEO & AI visibility

Does ChatGPT understand what your company does — and name it? We examine your brand, services, competitors, the purchase-relevant customer questions and the technical groundwork. Delivered by our AI brand INSIDE AI.

AI Visibility Check
02

Campaigns prepared

We work out the conversational situations in which your offer is relevant, and turn them into campaign structure, audiences, ad and creative concepts. Ready in the drawer, instead of improvised on day one.

03

Conversion & tracking

Visibility alone is not enough: landing pages that answer the question, clean forms and lead processes, analytics, conversion tracking and CRM integration. The part where most campaigns fail.

When access opens

Pilot first,
then scale.

03 / 04
Step 1

Pilot

No large budget to begin with. A clearly bounded test for selected products, regions or audiences — with a single question: which conversational situations bring qualified enquiries? After the pilot, data decides, not assumptions.

Step 2

Scale

What works gets expanded and connected to what you already run: Google Ads, SEO, social, LinkedIn, content and marketing automation. One channel becomes a coherent model across classic and AI search.

What may a new customer cost?

We do not promise results nobody can evidence yet. Instead we build your own business case with you: media budget → qualified clicks → visitors → leads → deals → customer value. That single figure tells you what a test may cost and when scaling starts to pay.

Frequently asked

Answered briefly.

What are ChatGPT Ads?
Adverts that appear below a ChatGPT answer, labelled as „sponsored". They have no influence on the answer itself. They are shown to signed-in adults on the free tier and the Go plan; Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu remain ad-free.
Are ChatGPT Ads already running in Germany?
Yes. Ads have been shown in Germany since 24 August 2026, together with 30 further European countries. In Europe they run without personalisation at first; health and politics remain ad-free.
Can my company book them right now?
Usually not freely. In Europe, advertising access currently runs through OpenAI's ads team and selected agency and technology partners. Self-service access has been announced but is not generally open yet. We check which route is available for you and get in touch as soon as free booking becomes possible.
So what can be done today?
The groundwork that decides the outcome later: checking how AI systems perceive your company today, working out the purchase-relevant customer questions, building landing pages that match, and setting up conversion tracking properly. That improves your AI visibility immediately — and stops a later campaign launch from burning budget.
How large should the media budget be?
It depends on audience, market, region and goal. We do not quote flat rates. We define a pilot budget only after a potential analysis — starting from the question of what a new customer may cost your business.
Can existing landing pages be used?
Often yes. Before launch we check whether they match the intent behind the user's question. Someone arriving from a conversation expects an answer — not a general product overview. That is exactly what decides the conversion.
Do ChatGPT Ads replace Google Ads?
No. Google remains the central performance channel. The interesting part is the combination: classic search visibility and AI visibility work together, because research behaviour is spread across both.

On the current state of things: Advertising in ChatGPT has been shown in Germany since 24 August 2026. Booking adverts is currently not freely possible for companies in Europe; access runs through OpenAI's ads team and selected agency and technology partners, and self-service access has been announced. INSIDE INTERACTIVE is not a contractual partner of OpenAI and cannot guarantee advertising access. We prepare you for it and will inform you as soon as the situation changes. Based on OpenAI's published information, as of 31 August 2026.

The next step

Those who are ready
start in days, not months.

The groundwork is the same whenever advertising access opens — and it pays off before that. Let's talk about what makes sense for your company.
