Meta Ad Library Search: Find the Facebook and Instagram Ads Running in Your Niche

Meta Ad Library search means looking up the Facebook and Instagram ads that brands are running, through Meta's public Ad Library. AdAnt's tool hands your niche and product to AdAnt Studio's agents, which search the library, keep the ads that are live and the ones that have run longest, and write a report on the hooks, offers and formats they share. The ads show as cards that link back to their Ad Library entries, and the report ends with ad ideas for your product.

Before your first Meta campaign

See which ads your category keeps paying for before you spend, so your first test starts from angles that already hold up.

Finding long-running winners

Ads that run for months usually make money. Pull them out of the noise of a full Ad Library search and see what they share.

Agency research

Bring a client the live Meta ads in their niche, grouped by angle, with the ideas to test.

Creative refresh

When your Meta ads fatigue, find hooks and formats your competitors use that you have not tried yet.

Meta Ad Library Search FAQ

Tips for a better result

Name brands you know advertise. A brand with no live ads returns nothing to study.
How long an ad has run is the best public signal Meta gives. Spend and results are not public.
Add your product's price and audience; the ad ideas at the end get more specific.
Run it again in a month. The ads that are still live then are the ones to study.

Is the Meta Ad Library search free?

Yes, you can try it free with the credits a new AdAnt account gets. A research run uses roughly 20 credits, and AdAnt Studio shows the cost before anything is generated. On the Free plan a report shows its summary and top strategy; the full report is part of a paid plan.

Where do the ads come from?

From Meta Ad Library, Meta's public record of the ads running on Facebook and Instagram. Each ad in the report links back to its Ad Library entry.

Can it show how much an ad spends or how it performs?

No. Meta does not publish spend or results for most ads. The report uses how long an ad has run as the signal, and 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 an ad I find?

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.
