How to Spy on your competitors

[Ikaz Elkazeer]

For those who don't know, you can see the ads your competitors are running using facebook ad library.
Step 1: Just google "facebook ad library",
Step 2: select "all ads"
Step 3: Type your competitor's page name and select the right one from the options it shows you
Step 4: Muse "So this is what they have been upto..."

I am sure even amateur facebook advertisers know of this method. But I'm not here to teach about it.

I'm actually looking for answers. You see it should show all the ads a page is running. But it doesn't.

Some pages I know are running ads simply show blank results.

Anyone has any idea on:
a) How to actually see ALL the ads a page is running? Some tool or method that lets you do this...
b) How to make it so your ads don't show up in the results?

It won't be blank
You should also select the country that the page is running ads on

1. Only through the advertising account from which it was advertised
2. There is no such way

You may have to opt for paid Facebook spy tools like Adspy or Visto... Both of which offer free trials the last time I checked

The best tool I used was MagicAdz, still looking for a similar tool that cover CPA offers spying

This person claims that he is fb ads pro but he gives false info sometimes?
You can check all the ads running by x page without having the access to their ads account and you know that or maybe you don't

I'm pretty sure you are doing something wrong because I use the Ad Library every single day and it definitely shows all the ads. It even shows you how many version an ad as so that you know your competitor is running an A/B split test.

If you want an even more powerful tool (paid one) use What Runs Where.

just checked out What Runs Where but it does not show ads from my country. Does it also show interests?

Thank you, I didn't know Ad Library.
