Proofsource and ads in ChatGPT: a paid answer beside the question you lose
When ChatGPT answers a buyer question without naming you, Proofsource can plan one paid answer beside it. Each placement has a daily cap and an end date, waits for your yes, is always labeled Paid, and is never counted as proof, so your organic numbers stay honest while the real fix earns its place.
| Lost question | Daily cap | Ends |
|---|---|---|
| best meeting notes app for sales teams | Set by you | Nov 30 |
| AI note taker that works with Zoom | Set by you | Nov 30 |
| meeting notes app with CRM sync | Set by you | Nov 30 |
| does an AI notetaker work without a bot | Set by you | Nov 30 |

Why we love Ads in ChatGPT
In the makers' own words, from their own pages. Proofsource builds on it, never around it.
An assistant people really use
ChatGPT helps people write, learn, plan and decide in plain conversation, which is why buyers now ask it which product to choose.
From openai.comSearch with sources you can check
ChatGPT search gives timely answers with links to the sources behind them, so readers can follow a claim back to the page it came from.
From openai.comClear about how it behaves
OpenAI publishes the principles for how its models should behave and explains them in the open, which makes the assistant easier to trust and to study.
From openai.comHow Proofsource uses Ads in ChatGPT
Plans one capped, labeled paid answer in ChatGPT beside a buyer question you lose, with a daily cap and an end date.
- Know
Spot the lost question
Proofsource sees that ChatGPT answers a buyer question and names a competitor, not you.
- Act
Plan one paid answer
A single placement is planned beside that question, with a daily cap and an end date you can read before anything runs.
- Ship
Run it on your yes
The placement waits for approval. Nothing is booked until someone with the right role says yes.
- Prove
Keep paid and proof apart
The placement is labeled Paid. Proof still comes only from engines naming or citing you without payment.
How to join early access
Open Ads
In Proofsource, open Ads and choose the Paid in ChatGPT tab. The Ads card is also in the Integrations directory.
Join early access
Tell us you want it. When it opens, the tab shows live placements instead of plans. Placements run on Proofsource's own account, so you hand over no key or sign-in.
Meanwhile, fix the question for real
Ship the organic fix for the questions you lose. A paid answer only covers the gap, so the page is worth having first.
Approve a placement
Read the question, the daily cap and the end date, then approve. Until then, nothing is booked.

What does Coming soon mean?

How does this fit with fixing the question for real?
