A competitor's live ads are their strategy, stated out loud: the offers they push, the audiences they chase, the pages they send traffic to. These workflows resolve the rivals, pull every live creative from the Meta and Google ad libraries, read the landing pages and repeat weekly so the diff is the insight.

## Questions

### How do I see the ads a competitor is running?

ads.search reads the Meta Ad Library by advertiser or keyword and the Google Ads Transparency Center by advertiser domain. It returns each live creative with its copy, media and the date it first ran.

### Which ad platforms are covered?

Meta, which includes Facebook and Instagram placements, and Google. Other libraries can be reached through a provider's raw endpoint with the same key when a workflow needs them.

### Can I see how much a competitor spends?

No library publishes spend for commercial ads. What you can read is how long a creative has been running and how many variants exist, which is the best public sign that it works.

### Why run it weekly?

One pull is a snapshot. The second pull shows what was added, what was stopped and what is still running, and that change is what tells you where a competitor is putting money.
