The Problem
Your competitors are running hundreds of ad variations and learning what works. Without visibility into their ads, you're guessing while they're optimizing.
Visiting the Facebook Ad Library manually for each competitor is time-consuming, unstructured, and impossible to track over time.
Identifying which ad types, messages, and angles are working for competitors requires analyzing dozens of ads systematically — impossible to do manually.
Creating ad variations without visibility into what's working in your industry leads to guesswork and expensive testing from scratch.
What You Get
Monitor any number of competitor Facebook pages — automatically extracting all active ads on a configured schedule.
Ad images, videos, headlines, body copy, and CTAs are all extracted and stored — building a complete competitor creative database.
GPT-4 analyzes each competitor ad — identifying messaging angles, audience targeting signals, offer types, and creative patterns.
The system identifies patterns across competitor ads over time — which messages are being tested repeatedly, signaling what's converting.
Weekly ad intelligence reports are generated — summarizing competitor strategy shifts, top-performing creative patterns, and recommended angles to test.
All scraped ads with analysis are stored in Airtable — searchable by competitor, ad type, messaging angle, date, and status.
