See who is buying ads inside AI answers
ChatGPT now serves sponsored placements inside its answers, and Google is putting ads in AI Overviews and AI Mode. LLM Pulse captures every placement that lands on your tracked prompts, so you know which brands are paying to sit next to your category.
Features
Paid placements, tracked like everything else
Sponsored results are now part of the answer your customers read. LLM Pulse detects them on the prompts you already track, tells you who bought them, and shows how the paid space is growing.
Every Sponsored Placement, Captured
Ads are read from the same answers we already track for you. We store the headline, the description, the advertiser domain and the position, and keep them separate from organic mentions.
See Who Is Buying Your Category
An advertiser leaderboard ranks every domain running ads on your prompts, with the number of ads, how many prompts they cover, and their average and best position.
Your Ads vs Everyone Else's
Placements are matched to your brand and to your tracked competitors, so you can see what share of the sponsored space belongs to you.
Know Where Ads Sit
Sponsored results usually take the first slot in the answer. Track the position distribution of every advertiser, including yours.
Watch the Rollout Week by Week
Ad volume, advertiser count and your own share are charted weekly, so you can see ads expanding into new prompts and new countries as it happens.
Export the Evidence
The advertiser table and the answers that carried ads export to CSV or XLSX, ready for your reporting or your media agency.
Ads by AI platform
Ads arrived on one platform first and the rest are moving at their own pace. Here is where each one stands.

"After noticing rising visits from various LLMs in GA4, we needed visibility into those black boxes: which models were mentioning us, in which answers, and how that was changing over time. LLM Pulse gave us the clarity to understand our brand's evolution across AI models and to shape new strategies to boost our exposure."
