Apartments.com activated sponsored ads on ChatGPT in April, becoming one of the first multifamily platforms to introduce advertising placements within the AI search experience.
The ads now appear for rental-related searches across 500 cities nationwide, directing users to Apartments.com search results pages for the target city.
“Rental search has changed,” said Kathy Neumann, vice president of marketing at Apartments.com. “Renters are using more resources as part of their search journey. These ads show up right at the moment renters are asking questions and making decisions, and they connect renters straight to Apartments.com listings and local results.”
The ads expand visibility for properties that advertise on Apartments.com, driving traffic and leads.
