About
Ad Intelligence tells you which of a brand's ads are working, not just which ones are running. Give it a website and it returns the brand's estimated ad spend, traffic and sales grades, the personas and hooks its ads lean on, and its strongest ads.
Over a million ads a week are tracked and analysed: every ad is broken down into its hook, funnel stage, persona, offer and persuasion style, and scored on delivery strength. That lets you search the whole market for proven creative, find look-alike brands at the same scale, and compare two brands side by side.
What you can do
- Get a brand's ad profile from its domain: scale grades, creative signals, hook themes and top ads
- Search ads across all brands by keyword, vertical, hook type, funnel stage or offer, ranked by strength
- Read one ad in full, including scene breakdown and transcript
- Find brands by vertical, category or size, or peers at the same scale as a brand
- Compare two brands' creative strategy and see the gaps each leaves open
Who it's for
Performance marketers, creative strategists, agencies and founders who want to copy what works instead of guessing from how long an ad has run.
How to use it
- Start with get_brand and a competitor's domain. If it says the profile is still being built, call it again after the suggested wait
- Use search_ads with the brand's advertiser_id and order_by "best" to list its strongest ads, or with a keyword to search the whole market
- Open any ad with get_ad for the full creative breakdown
- Use find_peers or find_brands to widen the set, then compare_brands for a head-to-head
- Use list_verticals when you need vertical or category ids for filters
Getting started
Call get_brand with a domain like "takeultra.com". Spend, traffic and sales are coarse estimated grades, not exact figures.

Get a brand's ad profile from its website domain or advertiser id: estimated spend, traffic and sales grades, dominant personas, mechanisms, hooks, funnel and media mix, hook themes, Reddit sentiment and its top ads. New brands may come back as pending; call again after the suggested wait.
Search and filter ads across every tracked brand: by keyword, advertiser, vertical, hook type, funnel stage, offer type, recency and active status. Order by "best" to rank by delivery strength. Returns up to 100 ads per page with hook text, summary and classification.
Get one ad in full: hook, offer, call to action, landing page and how well it matches the ad, linked product and real store price, every creative dimension and persuasion tag, delivery strength, and optionally its scenes, transcript, on-screen text, story beats and media link.
Find advertisers by name, website, Facebook page, vertical, category, country, number of active ads, or minimum estimated spend, traffic or sales grade. Returns each brand's id, domain, vertical, category, country, active ad count, grades and dominant persona and mechanism.
Find brands like a given advertiser: same category, vertical, geography and/or the same spend, traffic or sales grade band. Defaults to same category and same spend band.
Compare two advertisers' ad strategy: share and divergence on every creative dimension, what each does that the other does not, shared trends, a similarity score and a short contrast summary.
Find ads creatively similar to one ad: the closest other ads from the same brand, and the closest ads from other brands in its vertical, each with a similarity score.
Build a lookalike list for one brand: brands competing for the same audience with similar creative, plus peers in the same category at the same spend band. Each row says why it matched. Use it for prospecting or benchmarking.
Find the strongest ads for an angle or product, e.g. "gut health for women over 40": searches every tracked ad by meaning, ranks the matches by delivery strength and engagement, and returns their hooks, offers, claims, personas and landing pages.
Benchmark a vertical or category: the share of ads using each hook type, offer, persona or other creative dimension, next to the share among winning ads, so you can see what dominates, what winners over-use and what is open.
Enrich up to 10 company websites with their ad profile: estimated spend, traffic and sales grades, active ad count, vertical, main hooks, personas and hook themes. Built for sales teams personalising outreach and for quick brand scale checks.
List every vertical and its categories, or pass a vertical to get its categories and the ids used by search_ads filters (hook types, funnel stages, personas, offers).
