OpenAI ads are sponsored placements and AI-driven recommendations that appear inside ChatGPT and other large language model interfaces. When someone asks ChatGPT for a service in their area, AI ads let your business show up in the response.

Who is RefractedAI for?

Local businesses and service providers — handymen, contractors, clinics, studios, agencies — that want more leads, more reviews, and stronger AI search visibility.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients start seeing increased visibility within the first 2–4 weeks, with measurable lead growth by week 6. One client, Alex Handyman, saw a 4x increase in reviews after working with us.

Do I need a big marketing budget?

No. We design AI ad campaigns to work for local business budgets. On a strategy call we'll match a plan to your goals.

LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) is the practice of getting your brand recommended by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — similar to SEO, but for AI search.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still curious? Email us — we usually reply same-day.

What exactly are OpenAI ads?

OpenAI ads are sponsored placements and AI-driven recommendations that appear inside ChatGPT and other large language models. When someone asks ChatGPT for a service, AI ads make sure your business gets recommended in the response — instead of just your competitors.

Is this just SEO with extra steps?

No. Traditional SEO targets Google's blue links. LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) targets the answers AI gives. The two overlap, but the playbooks, signals, and outcomes are different — we cover both.

How long until I see results?

Most clients see increased AI visibility within 2–4 weeks. Lead growth typically follows by week 6. Alex Handyman, for example, saw a 4× increase in reviews within 90 days.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Local businesses and service providers — handymen, contractors, clinics, dental practices, salons, studios, and small agencies. If your customers are within driving distance, we can help.

Do I need a big budget?

No. We design AI ad campaigns to work for local business budgets. On the strategy call we'll match a plan to your goals and revenue.
