Explore ChatGPT Ads Tracking

ChatGPT Ads Tracking is the monitoring of sponsored placements and Shopping Cards that appear inside ChatGPT answers. OtterlyAI runs your Search Prompts on a set cadence, stores every answer, and records the paid units it contains: the advertiser brand, the destination link, the ad copy, and the product details behind each Shopping Card. It is the paid layer of AI Search, measured the same way you already measure citations and brand mentions.
  • Ad frequency across your prompt set, see which answers carry paid units
  • Advertiser identification, including competitors bidding against the prompts
  • ChatGPT Shopping Cards: which products, prices and retailers get surfaced to buyers
  • Available as optional Ads and Shopping columns in every Brand Report
