As of 13 November 2026, ChatGPT is the only AI assistant where you can buy ads as a separate channel: OpenAI sells them in 89 countries through a self-serve Ads Manager, its own sales team, holding-company agencies and technology partners. Google AI Mode, AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot show ads too, but only through your existing Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns. Perplexity stopped taking new advertisers in October 2025.

What we found checking the agencies

  • 27 sell ads inside AI assistants on their own site. 10 publish a price: from $975 a month or 15% of media spend (WebFX) and $1,500 flat (LeadGulls) to $9,500 for ChatGPT ads alone; whole-program retainers reach $15,000+.
  • Some agencies that AI assistants and other lists name for "ChatGPT ads" do not sell it: their own sites show organic AI-search work only.
  • OpenAI names five holding-company networks as agency partners. None of the 27 listed agencies appears on an OpenAI partner list; some say they are partners in their own words.

How this site works

Agency facts come only from the agencies' own pages, each with a link and a check date; unknown values say "not published". Platform facts link to the platform or, where it has not published a number, to the trade press, labelled as such. Lists follow a stated rule: methodology. What changed and when: changelog. Organic visibility in AI answers is a different job, compared on geoagencyreviews.com.
