More and more consumers are starting their search for a product or service not on Google, but on ChatGPT. They ask which running shoe suits their running style, which air fryer is best for a family, or which patio set can withstand a rainy summer. That’s when the decision is made—and that’s where you want to be visible.
Since August 2026, you’ve also been able to advertise on ChatGPT in the Netherlands. With ChatGPT Ads, your ad appears as a sponsored card below ChatGPT’s response. The ad is clearly labeled, appears separately from the response, and is relevant to the topic of the conversation. You’ll reach users of both the free version and ChatGPT Go.
Customers are increasingly asking their questions to an AI assistant rather than a search engine. If you’re not visible there, you’ll be left off the shortlist before the customer has even seen your website. ChatGPT Ads puts your brand in the spotlight the moment someone asks for advice.
ChatGPT Ads primarily uses contextual targeting. An ad is tailored to the topic of the conversation, as well as to signals such as language, location, and device. According to OpenAI, conversations remain private from advertisers, and OpenAI does not sell user data. This allows you to reach people who are currently engaged with your product.
This channel is new in the Netherlands, and many advertisers are still waiting to see how things play out. Those who get started now will be the first to discover what works, build up data, and be ready before the competition catches on.
For online stores, ChatGPT can display products from your product feed as recommendations within the conversation, similar to Shopping ads. Do you already have a Google Shopping feed? Then you’re off to a good start. We optimize titles and product information so they align with how people ask their questions: in everyday language and focused on what matters to the buyer. This works for Shopify, Magento, Shopware, WooCommerce, Lightspeed, and custom solutions.
We’ll assess your current situation, market, and greatest growth opportunities.
We translate those opportunities into a clear strategy with achievable goals and concrete steps.
We put the strategy into practice, test what works, and make continuous adjustments.
We build on what works and keep improving to help your online store grow profitably.
