Data Sources
Free Intelligence Sources
| Source | Platform | What You Can Find | |--------|----------|------------------| | Google Ads Transparency Center | Google | Active ads, formats, geo targeting | | Meta Ad Library | Meta/Instagram | All active ads, creative, copy, spend range | | LinkedIn Ad Library | LinkedIn | Active ads from company pages | | TikTok Creative Center | TikTok | Top ads, trending creative, hashtags | | Microsoft Ads | Microsoft | Limited — use auction insights |
Google Ads Auction Insights
Available from the user's own Google Ads account:
- Impression share vs competitors
- Overlap rate (how often you compete)
- Outranking share (who wins more often)
- Top of page rate and absolute top of page rate
- Available for Search and Shopping campaigns
Platform-Specific Research
- Ads Transparency Center: search by advertiser name or domain
- Search for competitor brand terms to see their ads live
- Auction Insights for impression share comparison
Meta
- Ad Library: filter by advertiser, country, platform (FB/IG), date range
- Shows creative (image/video), ad copy, active dates
- Shows platform placement (Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network)
- Ad Library: search by company name
- Shows Sponsored Content, Message Ads
- Limited data compared to Meta Ad Library
TikTok
- Creative Center: top-performing ads by industry, country, objective
- Hashtag analytics: trending sounds and hashtags
- No per-advertiser library — use Creative Center for industry trends
Competitive Analysis Framework
1. Ad Copy Analysis
For each competitor, document:
- Headlines: primary messages and value propositions
- CTAs: what action they're driving (free trial, demo, buy now, learn more)
- Offers: pricing, discounts, free shipping, trials
- Tone: professional, casual, urgent, educational, emotional
- USPs: unique selling propositions they emphasize
- Pain points: customer problems they address
2. Creative Strategy Analysis
- Formats used: image, video, carousel, collection, document
- Visual style: photography, illustration, UGC, stock, branded
- Video approach: studio quality vs UGC vs animated
- Creative volume: how many active ads (indicator of testing velocity)
- Refresh frequency: how often new creatives appear
3. Messaging Themes
Categorize competitor messaging into themes: | Theme | Competitor A | Competitor B | Your Brand | |-------|-------------|-------------|------------| | Price/Value | ✅ Primary | ⚠️ Secondary | ? | | Quality/Premium | ❌ | ✅ Primary | ? | | Speed/Convenience | ⚠️ Secondary | ❌ | ? | | Trust/Authority | ✅ Primary | ✅ Primary | ? | | Innovation | ❌ | ⚠️ Secondary | ? |
4. Keyword Intelligence (Google/Microsoft)
- Brand keyword bidding: are competitors bidding on your brand?
- Keyword overlap: which non-brand terms do you both target?
- Keyword gaps: terms competitors rank for that you don't target
- Match type strategy: estimated match types from ad triggers
5. Spend Estimation
- Meta Ad Library shows spend ranges for political/social ads
- Google Auction Insights + impression share = directional spend estimate
- Third-party tools (SEMrush, SpyFu) for more precise estimates
- Manual estimation formula:
Estimated Monthly Spend = Impressions × CPM / 1000 or Estimated Monthly Spend = Clicks × Estimated CPC
Gap & Opportunity Identification
Platform Gaps
- Which platforms are competitors NOT on? (opportunity to own)
- Which platforms are they underspending on? (opportunity to outspend)
Messaging Gaps
- What customer pain points are NO competitors addressing?
- What value propositions are underrepresented in the market?
- What content formats are competitors not using?
Audience Gaps
- What demographics/segments are competitors not targeting?
- What geographic markets are underserved?
- What funnel stages are competitors neglecting?
Creative Gaps
- What ad formats are competitors not using? (video, UGC, Spark Ads)
- What creative styles are missing from the competitive landscape?
- What platform-specific features are competitors not leveraging?
Competitive Response Strategy
When Competitors Bid on Your Brand
- Always run brand campaigns to defend (low CPC, high CTR)
- Dynamic keyword insertion to show your brand prominently
- Sitelinks to key pages (pricing, features, reviews)
- Ad copy that emphasizes unique differentiators
- Consider bidding on competitor brand terms (know the rules)
When You're Outspent
- Focus on efficiency over volume (better targeting, creative, landing pages)
- Target long-tail keywords competitors ignore
- Use Exact match for precision (less waste)
- Double down on retargeting (lower CPA than prospecting)
- Compete on creative quality, not budget
