Ad Library Search

Ad Library Search lets you browse the public ad libraries of Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, and TikTok — surfacing live creatives, impression data, and ad copy from any advertiser. It's the fastest way to see exactly what your competitors are saying and spending on.

Marketers use it to track competitive messaging, spot trends in creative formats, and reverse-engineer campaigns that are working. You can search by keyword to understand the landscape around a topic, or look up a specific company to see every ad they're currently running. Google results include OCR-extracted text from image ads when you enable it. TikTok results include the hook text, landing page, and video file when you open a single ad.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a company’s ads on Facebook or Meta?

Start by searching the company name to get its ad library page ID, then use that ID to pull the running ads and filter them by country, status, media type, or date range.

Can I see only active ads?

Yes. Set the status filter to `ACTIVE` when you want the ads that are still running instead of the full historical library.

Can I inspect the full creative for a single ad?

Yes. The ad detail lookup returns the ad copy, media, cards, and, for short videos, an optional transcript so you can see the creative without guessing from the preview.

Does it cover other ad libraries besides Meta?

Yes. The tool also searches Google, LinkedIn, Reddit, and TikTok ad libraries, so you can compare messaging across both B2C and B2B channels.

How do I pull TikTok ads?

Search by keyword or advertiser name, then open a single ad by ID or library URL. That returns the hook text, landing page, and video file. Transcribe the video if you need the spoken copy.
