What is an AI search gap campaign?
An AI search gap is a buyer question where AI answers recommend your competitors and leave you out. Organic fixes, such as clearer pages, better sources and corrected facts, are the lasting answer, but they take time to show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews and the other engines your plan covers.
A gap campaign covers the same questions with paid search while the organic work takes hold. Because the questions come from real AI answers rather than a keyword tool, the campaign targets exactly the intent where you are missing.
Proofsource reads your lost questions and builds a campaign draft on the Campaigns tab for you to review. Google Ads is coming soon: join early access and we tell you when drafts can be sent to your account, created paused, with status, spend, clicks and impressions syncing back. A Paid in ChatGPT tab plans one capped paid answer per lost question, ready for when ChatGPT ads access opens for your account.

Questions about ad campaigns from AI gaps
What is a campaign built from AI search gaps?
It is a paid search campaign that targets the buyer questions where AI answers recommend competitors instead of you, built from the questions Proofsource tracks.
Which ad platforms are supported?
Campaign drafts are built on the Campaigns tab for Google Ads. Google Ads is coming soon: join early access and we tell you when it opens. Paid answers in ChatGPT are planned on their own tab and run once ChatGPT ads access opens for your account.
Will Proofsource spend money in my ad account?
No. Drafts stay in Proofsource until you decide, and nothing runs by itself. When Google Ads opens, drafts are created paused and you turn them on yourself.
How do I see results?
Once Google Ads connects, status, spend, clicks and impressions sync back on a schedule and show on the Campaigns list.
What is Paid in ChatGPT?
It plans one capped paid answer per lost question, with the cap shown in credits. It is waiting for ChatGPT ads access, so today it plans rather than runs.
Should I use ads instead of fixing my AI visibility?
Use both. The organic fix is what lasts; a gap campaign covers the question in the meantime. Proofsource keeps both side by side for the same question.
How is this different from Profound's ad drafts?
Profound also drafts ads for prompts where a brand is absent. Proofsource keeps each draft next to the organic fix for the same question and, when Google Ads opens, will create it paused in your account and sync its numbers back.
