National franchises are flooding your market
Garage Force, Spartan, and the rest are buying up the keywords and the brand recall. Independents get squeezed unless they have an edge the franchises don't.

The problem
Why coating contractors are losing leads right now
Buyers obsess over the product, not the brand
Epoxy, polyaspartic, polyurea, flake systems — homeowners research the coating for days before they ever pick a contractor. Whoever answers those questions wins the quote.
Cheap quotes race you to the bottom
Lead-gen sites send price-shoppers comparing you against $2/sqft DIY kits. You need to reach buyers earlier, while they're learning why a real install costs what it does.
Why now
ChatGPT just opened its ad platform. Almost nobody knows yet.
This is what a real sponsored result looks like inside ChatGPT — a labeled ad appearing right under the answer, exactly when someone asks about your service:
- OpenAI's Ads Manager went self-serve in May 2026 — and we have beta access.
- The big agencies (WPP, Omnicom, Publicis) are chasing national brands. Nobody is doing this for local contractors.
- Ads appear right when someone asks ChatGPT how to solve the exact problem you fix — high-intent, decision-ready moments.
- First movers lock in the cheapest clicks and the category before it gets crowded.

Why this works for coating contractors
Built for how your customers actually buy
A professional floor coating is a $2,500–$8,000 considered purchase that homeowners research for days — epoxy vs polyaspartic, flake vs solid, DIY vs pro, and which contractor won't peel in a year. With franchises pouring into the category, that research now starts in ChatGPT. A labeled sponsored result for your company at that moment puts an independent in front of buyers before the franchise brand does.
How it works
From plan to leads in four steps
01
Free ChatGPT Ads plan
We show you exactly how people in your area are already asking ChatGPT about your service — no call required to start.
02
We build your campaign
We write your ads, set up your ChatGPT Ads beta account, and launch — plus Google as a proven backstop. $997 covers full setup.
03
Leads start flowing
$497/mo flat to manage everything. You fund the ad budget ($1,500/mo for the first 90 days, paid to OpenAI/Google). We optimize weekly.
04
You see the numbers
Monthly reporting on clicks, leads, and cost — so you know exactly what you're getting.
Simple, flat pricing
$997 one-time setup
$497/mo flat management
$1,500/mo ad spend for the first 90 days (paid directly to OpenAI/Google, not to us), then flexible — the 90-day runway gives the campaigns enough volume to prove out
$497/mo is a flat management fee — never a percentage of your ad spend. Your ad budget is paid directly to OpenAI/Google, not to us. Flat $497/mo up to $2,000/mo ad spend; +10–15% on spend above $2,000/mo.
What's included
- ChatGPT Ads campaign built, launched, and managed inside OpenAI's beta Ads Manager
- Google Search & Performance Max running underneath as the performance backstop
- Ad creative, headlines, and landing-page guidance for your offer
- Conversion tracking + monthly performance reporting
- Direct line to your account manager — no call-center
90-day minimum commitment (3 months of management) so campaigns have time to optimize, then month-to-month.
Questions coating contractors ask
Can ChatGPT ads help me compete with the coating franchises?
That's the whole point. The franchises are spending on Google and brand, but nobody's in the ChatGPT answer yet. Being the first coating contractor there gives an independent the edge the franchise budget can't buy back.
Do ChatGPT ads work for commercial floors too?
Yes — warehouse, showroom, and shop floor questions run through the same research-phase campaign. We weight it toward the residential or commercial work you want more of.
Is $1,000/mo enough for floor coatings?
It's a real test budget, and coating clicks are cheaper than the big home-services trades. A few closed garages pay for it — we usually step toward $1,500–$2,000/mo once jobs start landing to keep installs scheduled.
What is ChatGPT Ads?
OpenAI now shows clearly-labeled sponsored results at the bottom of ChatGPT answers for free and Go-tier users in the US. When someone asks ChatGPT about a service you offer, your ad can appear right there. It launched self-serve in May 2026 and is still in beta — which is exactly why being early matters.
Is this instead of Google Ads?
No — it's an edge on top of it. We run Google Search and Performance Max as your proven workhorse and layer ChatGPT Ads as the first-mover advantage. You get both for one flat fee.
How much does it cost?
$997 one-time setup, then $497/mo flat to manage everything. You fund your own ad budget directly to OpenAI/Google — $1,500/mo for the first 90 days so the campaigns have enough runway to prove out, then you can adjust. No percentage-of-spend markup. Management has a 90-day minimum commitment (3 months) so the campaigns have time to optimize, then it continues month-to-month.
How fast do I see results?
Campaigns are typically live within a week of setup. ChatGPT Ads is a new channel with no industry benchmarks yet, so we run it as a test-and-learn alongside Google, which produces leads from day one. That's exactly why management runs on a 90-day minimum — it gives the campaigns enough runway to optimize and prove out.
Why should I trust a new channel?
You're not betting the business on it — Google carries the load while ChatGPT Ads gives you a head start nobody else in your market has. The 90-day minimum commitment is there so we can optimize properly rather than judge a brand-new channel on a single month. Being first is the whole point.
