Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

The UK agency that optimises businesses for AI search

Thursday Thinking is a generative engine optimisation agency. We make your business the answer ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity give, then prove it with measured data from Bing Webmaster Tools, Google Search Console and GA4 rather than estimates.

The Basics

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimisation is the practice of optimising your business for AI search, so that your brand is the answer AI engines give. When someone asks ChatGPT, Copilot or Perplexity for a recommendation, GEO determines whether your business is cited, or your competitor is.

It works on the signals large language models trust: entity clarity, structured data, authoritative content and clean crawler access. At ThursdayThinking.ai we engineer those signals so AI search puts you first.

ChatGPT Ads — Launched UK June 2026

We Track What Your Competitors Are Doing in ChatGPT

ChatGPT launched advertising in the UK on 6 June 2026. Paid placements now appear below AI-generated responses — clearly labelled, contextually matched, and visible to the 85% of ChatGPT users on Free and Go plans.

Most businesses have no idea whether their competitors are already running ChatGPT ads on the queries their customers are typing. We do. As part of our GEO tracking, we now monitor every prompt check for competitor ad activity — logging advertiser names, ad copy, and which queries are attracting paid competition.

Competitor Ad Monitoring

Every prompt check now includes a scan for ChatGPT ads. We log which competitors are running paid placements on your most important queries, what their ads say, and how frequently they appear.

Ad Landscape Reporting

Your Thursday Intelligence dashboard includes a competitor ad sightings log — showing every advertiser name, headline and description we have spotted on your tracked prompts, with dates and query context.

Early Warning System

When a competitor starts running ChatGPT ads on your key queries, we flag it. You know before it affects your visibility — and you have time to respond before the market catches up.

ChatGPT Ads Readiness

Are You Ready to Run ChatGPT Ads?

OpenAI began rolling out its self-serve Ads Manager beta to UK advertisers around 19 June 2026, shortly after ChatGPT ads went live in the UK on 6 June. The tools are still in beta and changing quickly, so the businesses starting now are learning while competition is still thin.

ThursdayThinking.ai runs a ChatGPT Ads Readiness Audit: a scored assessment across four areas that determine how well a business will perform when it enters the ChatGPT ads market.

1 of 4

Organic Foundation

Your GEO score. Brands that ChatGPT already cites organically convert ChatGPT ad clicks at higher rates. Organic visibility and paid performance are directly linked.

2 of 4

Content Readiness

Landing page quality, proposition clarity and site speed. A ChatGPT ad click is high-intent — the destination needs to match the context the user was already in.

3 of 4

Competitor Activity

How many competitor ads we have already spotted on your tracked prompts. High competitor activity is both a threat and a signal that the channel is worth entering.

4 of 4

Measurement Readiness

GA4 configuration, conversion tracking and OpenAI Conversions API setup. You cannot scale a paid channel you cannot attribute.

The audit produces an overall readiness score out of 100 with a prioritised action plan. Results are visible in your Thursday Intelligence client portal.

ChatGPT Ads Management

When You Are Ready to Run ChatGPT Ads, We Are Ready to Run Them

ChatGPT ads are not Google Ads with a different logo. The format is structurally different — headlines of approximately 16 characters, descriptions of approximately 32 characters, and a conversational context where relevance is everything. Copy that works on search will not automatically work here.

ThursdayThinking.ai prepares UK businesses for ChatGPT advertising and runs their campaigns: setting up the Ads Manager account, drafting copy to the ad format, building the measurement infrastructure, and monitoring the competitive landscape continuously.

1

Register and Prepare

Register at openai.com/advertisers. Prepare ad copy to the ChatGPT format specification — 16-character headlines, 32-character descriptions. Identify the highest-intent landing pages. Build the measurement layer.

2

Monitor and Learn

Track competitor ad activity on your most important prompts. Understand which queries attract paid competition. Build the organic GEO foundation that makes paid placements perform more efficiently.

3

Launch and Optimise

Launch with competitive intelligence already in hand, and optimise against real attribution data from day one, not from a standing start.
