How do I show up when homeowners ask ChatGPT?

The short answer

Homeowners now ask ChatGPT what a job costs and who does it near them, and ChatGPT shows one sponsored card. Outfitter’s ChatGPT ads, coming in November, put your business in that card for homeowners near you, at your ad spend plus 30%.

From Outfitter AI · Updated October 11, 2026

Who it’s for: Contractors who want to be the pro homeowners see when they ask an AI who to hire.

What happens when ChatGPT ads turn on

  1. You turn on ChatGPT ads from your workspace.

  2. We write your ads. You can change any word before they run.

  3. A homeowner in your area asks something like what it costs to finish a basement near them.

  4. They see a sponsored card from your company. If they click, it costs you; if they don’t, it doesn’t.

What it costs

Paid from your tokens at your ad spend plus 30% (130 tokens per $1 of ads). ChatGPT ads are coming in November.

What it won’t do

An example

A homeowner in Woodbury asks ChatGPT what it costs to finish a basement near her. Under the answer is a sponsored card: “What finishing a basement costs. See a real price range for your own home,” from a local basement company. She taps it.
