Ad Library Search

Spy on ads across every platform

Ad Library Search lets you browse the public ad libraries of Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, and Reddit β€” 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.

What you can do

  • Search Facebook ads by keyword β€” filter by country, status, media type, and date range
  • Look up all active ads for a specific Facebook page or company
  • Search Google advertisers by name and pull their full ad inventory
  • Find B2B ads on LinkedIn by keyword or company
  • Browse Reddit sponsored posts
  • Get full creative details for any individual ad by URL or ID

Who it's for

Marketers and brand strategists monitoring competitive advertising. Growth teams researching what messaging is working in their market. Agencies doing creative research before pitching or launching campaigns.

How to use it

  1. Use search_facebook_ad_companies to find a brand's page ID, then get_facebook_company_ads to see all their active ads
  2. Use search_facebook_ads to search by keyword across all advertisers β€” great for spotting industry trends
  3. Use search_linkedin_ads for B2B campaigns, or search_reddit_ads for community-targeted ads

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, and Reddit ad libraries, so you can compare messaging across both B2C and B2B channels.
