Why Prepare Now?

3 strategic advantages come from early preparation: First-mover positioning establishes brand presence before competition floods the platform. Creative development takes timeβ€”conversational ads require different approaches than traditional display or search. Account setup and approval processes often favor early adopters with better placement and lower costs.

The brands that win in ChatGPT advertising will be those already building their AI presence through GEO while simultaneously preparing advertising infrastructure. We help you do both.
