Competitor Ad Research: See the Ads Your Competitors Run and Why They Work

Competitor ad research is the study of the ads another brand runs, to learn which hooks, offers and formats win attention in your market. AdAnt's tool hands your brief to AdAnt Studio's agents, which look through the competitor's ads in Meta Ads Library and their TikTok, Instagram and YouTube videos, then write a report on what they run, what seems to work and which angles to test for your own product. The report is saved in your Studio task, where the same agents can turn an angle into a video ad.

Ecommerce launches

Before you spend on ads for a new product, see how the established brands in your category pitch theirs and which offers they keep running.

Agency pitches and audits

Bring a client a clear picture of what their competitors run on Meta and TikTok, with angles to test, before the first meeting.

App and SaaS growth

See which pain points, demos and testimonials a rival app leads with, and find the angle they are not using.

Refreshing tired creative

When your ads stop performing, mine a competitor's longest-running ads for hooks and formats you have not tried yet.

Competitor Ad Research FAQ

Tips for a better result
  • Use the competitor's exact brand name or website so the agents find the right ad account.
  • Describe your product with its price and audience. The recommended angles get much more specific.
  • Ads that have run for months are usually worth studying first: advertisers rarely keep paying for an ad that loses money.
  • Run it for two or three competitors to see which angles the whole category relies on.
Is competitor ad research free?

Yes, you can try it free with the credits a new AdAnt account gets. A research report uses roughly 20 credits, and AdAnt Studio shows the cost before anything is generated.

Where do the competitor ads come from?

From public sources: Meta Ads Library for Facebook and Instagram ads, and the brand's public TikTok, Instagram and YouTube posts. View and like counts show attention, not sales, and the report says so.

What happens when I press the button?

AdAnt Studio opens with your brief as a new task, and its agents run the research there. The report lands in that task, so you can leave and come back to it.

Can I copy a competitor's ad?

Use the report for angles, hooks and formats, not to copy someone's ad. AdAnt makes new ads with your own product, script and AI presenters.

Can I use the findings in my own ads?

Yes. The report and any ads you make from it in AdAnt Studio are yours to use for your own product.
