How to read it

What you are looking at

Each button opens an official, public ad library: the Google Ads Transparency Center and the Meta Ad Library. These show ads that are running right now. Here is how to read what you find.

No ads showing

They are not advertising on that platform. That is open ground. The demand is there and nobody is spending to capture it.

A few ads

They are testing or running light. A well-managed account can usually outperform them on the same budget with tighter targeting.

Lots of ads

They are investing seriously and likely taking customers who could be yours. Worth matching, and worth doing it better.

How it works

Check a competitor in three steps

The Google Ads Transparency Center and Meta Ad Library are public tools that any business can use. This checker simply takes you straight to the right search so you do not have to dig. For Meta, the link searches by business name, so you may need to pick the right page if a competitor has a common name.

Questions

Competitor ad questions

Can you really see competitor ads?+

Yes. Both Google and Meta are required to publish the ads advertisers run. The Google Ads Transparency Center shows ads tied to a verified advertiser, and the Meta Ad Library shows active Facebook and Instagram ads for any page. This tool just sends you to the right place for each competitor.

Can I see how much a competitor spends?+

For most local businesses the public tools show which ads are running, not exact dollar amounts. You can infer how serious a competitor is from how many ads they run and how long they have been live. For a real estimate of spend and where the openings are in your market, get the free competitor report above.

What if a competitor shows no ads?+

That is usually good news. It means the high-intent searches in your area are up for grabs and you can capture them without a bidding war. It is one of the strongest signals that paid ads will work well for you right now.

The Meta link shows the wrong business.+

The Meta Ad Library searches by name, so common names can return several pages. Use the country and category filters on Meta to narrow it down, or just search the exact business name. If it is tricky, list the competitor in the form above and we will track down the right page for you.
