Understanding how competitors allocate their advertising effort tells you where they see the most opportunity. By tracking the volume, frequency, and focus of their ads over time, you can infer their priorities, seasonal strategies, and which products or features they are pushing hardest.

ToolRouter's Ad Library Search lets you pull a company's full ad portfolio on both Facebook and Google. You can see how many ads they run simultaneously, which campaigns are long-running versus short bursts, and whether they are increasing or decreasing activity in specific areas.

This intelligence helps you time your own campaigns better, avoid head-to-head competition during their heaviest spending periods, or double down when they pull back. It turns competitor advertising from a black box into an observable, actionable signal.
