What we do
Four steps to your first test.
We start with a test and measure from day one what it delivers.
Mapping the questions
Which questions do your customers ask AI? We measure that with Promptwatch, per category and per AI model.
Ads and landing page
For each question an ad and a page that works out the answer further, with your product alongside it.
Measurement
We measure enquiries and purchases via ChatGPT in GA4 and HubSpot, so you see what a question delivers.
Together with GEO
What works in paid is carried over into your facts and pages. That way you keep being mentioned when the campaign stops.
Wrkt Signal for ChatGPT Ads
Advertise on the questions that matter.
Wrkt Signal measures which brands AI mentions for the questions in your category. Where you are still missing organically, becoming visible through paid is worth the most.
- Your brand
- Tone of voice, products and personas
- Your own data
- GA4 and Shopify
- The market
- AI visibility per question and per model

The memory. Insights, actions and results. Every learning stays and builds up.
GEO and ChatGPT Ads
Mentioned organically and in view through paid.
With GEO you make sure ChatGPT mentions your brand in the answer. With ChatGPT Ads you appear directly below the answer, for as long as the campaign runs. The two reinforce each other.
| GEO | ChatGPT Ads | |
|---|---|---|
| Place | In the answer itself | Below the answer, labelled as sponsored |
| Speed | Builds up gradually | Visible immediately for as long as the campaign runs |
| Duration | Stays in place | Stops when the budget stops |
| Role | Being mentioned lastingly | Quickly testing which questions bring in customers |
How it connects
ChatGPT Ads sits where people compare and choose.
Anyone who asks ChatGPT for advice is about to choose. An advertisement at that moment works best when the rest of your channels are in order.
- Discover: Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads
- Search and compare: Google Ads, GEO, ChatGPT Ads
- Buy: Conversion optimisation, Retargeting
- Come back: Email with Klaviyo
Wrkt Signal connects the steps: one memory and one plan every week for all your channels.
Together with GEO
With paid you test quickly, with organic you build something lasting. The questions that work with ChatGPT Ads are carried over into your GEO approach.
Together with Google Ads
After advice from an AI, many people still do a quick search on Google. With Google Ads you capture that search.
Together with conversion optimisation
Someone arrives with a specific question. A landing page that answers exactly that question converts better.
Especially relevant for
Categories where people ask AI for advice.
ChatGPT Ads suits products where people first ask a question before they buy.
Gifts
Looking for a gift increasingly starts with a question to AI, with a budget and an occasion.
Bags and accessories
Questions about material, size and use. An advertisement shown with such a question reaches someone who is already choosing.
Fashion
Style advice and comparisons between brands, with a clear intention to buy.
Interior
Inspiration and advice for the home, for products people take their time over.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about ChatGPT Ads
- Can I already advertise in ChatGPT?
- ChatGPT Ads is still in a test phase. If you are interested, we run a test for your brand. That way you quickly see whether the questions in your category bring in customers.
- Does an advertisement influence ChatGPT's answer?
- According to OpenAI, the advertisement is separate from the answer and is labelled as sponsored. If you want to be mentioned in the answer itself, that is GEO.
- How does it differ from GEO?
- GEO makes sure ChatGPT mentions your brand in the answer. ChatGPT Ads places your advertisement below the answer. The first builds up slowly and lasts, the second works immediately for as long as you advertise.
- What does it cost?
- You pay a media budget to OpenAI and a fee to us. We agree the budget for a test together. The fee starts from €2,500 per month and you always receive a tailored proposal.
- Which brands is Wrkt Digital a good choice for?
- For D2C and e-commerce brands with a proven product, an online store that sells and enough media budget to test. We are less suited to B2B companies. In doubt? Then we will tell you honestly in the intro call.
- How do you report?
- You see your results in your own online client environment, which we update weekly. Every week there is a fixed check-in with your specialist and every quarter we make a new plan.
