# How Do I Spy on Competitor Ads With Revnu? > Use Revnu to research competitor ads in the public ad libraries of LinkedIn, Meta, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit and Microsoft. Find who advertises on your keywords, read their offers and landing pages, find the gaps, draft better ads, watch for new ads every week, and turn active advertisers into warm leads. Canonical: https://revnu.com/docs/play-competitor-ads Last updated: 2026-10-18 Every ad your competitors run is public. Meta, LinkedIn, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit and Microsoft each publish a library of ads, and Revnu reads them for you. Name your competitors or your keywords, and Revnu pulls their ads, tells you what they're saying, shows you what nobody is saying, and writes ads that say it. > Find the competitors running the most ads in my category. Pull their live ads from the LinkedIn, Meta and Google ad libraries, summarise the angles and offers they lean on, show me the gaps, and draft three ads that take one.

Pick your competitors or keywords Tell Revnu who you compete with, or the words your buyers use. If you're not sure, Revnu starts from what it knows about your business in **Settings > Memory** and searches the libraries for the companies advertising to the same people. > Here are my three main competitors: [names or websites]. Also search for anyone advertising on "[your category]" and "[the problem you solve]". ### 2. Pull their ads across the libraries Revnu searches each library and brings back the ads it finds. Ask for every channel your buyers use, or start with one. > Pull every active ad these competitors are running on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Google. Include the landing page each ad links to. ### 3. Summarise the angles and offers Revnu reads the copy, the calls to action and the landing pages, then groups the ads by what they promise. > Group their ads by angle and offer. For each group, show me two examples and say which competitor leans on it most and how long their oldest ad in it has been running. ### 4. Find the gaps The best ad is often the one nobody in your market runs. > What are none of them saying? Look at our customers' reasons for buying in my Memory and tell me which of those no competitor's ads mention. ### 5. Draft your own ads Revnu writes ads for your business, built on the gap, in your voice. With an ad account connected, it saves them as paused drafts in that account for you to approve. Nothing spends without your yes. > Draft three LinkedIn ads and three Meta ads that take the gap you found. Use our own proof, not theirs, and make me images for each. ### 6. Watch for new ads every week Competitors change their ads all the time. Make it a workflow and Revnu checks the libraries on a schedule and tells you what's new. > Every Monday morning, check the ad libraries for my competitors and anyone new advertising on "[your category]". Tell me about new ads, new offers and new advertisers, with links. See [recurring work with workflows](/docs/recurring-work). Your watch lives under **Dashboard > Workflows**, where you can change, pause or run it any time. ## Turn active advertisers into leads A company paying for ads right now has budget, a growth target and a team that cares about results. If you sell to marketers, founders or growth teams, that's a warm lead. > Search the LinkedIn Ad Library for companies advertising on "[a keyword your buyers' customers search]". Add the ones that fit my ideal customer to Leads, with the person who runs marketing at each. Revnu adds each company to **Leads** with the ad as a linked source on its **Signals** tab, finds the right person and a checked work email, and writes outreach about what that ad says they're pushing for. Read [how Revnu finds leads](/docs/find-leads) and [buying signals](/docs/uc-buying-signals) for more ways to aim it. ## The ad libraries Revnu reads | Library | What it covers | Guide | |---|---|---| | LinkedIn Ad Library | Ads run on LinkedIn, searchable by keyword and advertiser | [LinkedIn Ad Library](/docs/ads-library-linkedin) | | Meta Ad Library | Ads on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Meta's partner apps | [Meta Ad Library](/docs/ads-library-meta) | | Google Ads Transparency Center | Ads on Google Search, YouTube, Display, Shopping and Maps | [Google Ads Transparency Center](/docs/ads-library-google) | | TikTok Ad Library and Creative Center | TikTok ads shown in Europe, plus TikTok's top ads by industry | [TikTok ads](/docs/ads-library-tiktok) | | X Ads Repository | Ads shown on X in Europe | [X Ads Repository](/docs/ads-library-x) | | Reddit Ads Inspiration Library | Top performing Reddit ads by industry and objective | [Reddit ads](/docs/ads-library-reddit) | | Microsoft Ad Library | Ads on Bing and Microsoft's network shown in Europe | [Microsoft Ad Library](/docs/ads-library-microsoft) | ## Borrow the angle, keep your voice The point isn't to copy anyone. Revnu uses competitor ads to learn what your market responds to, then writes ads from your own proof, your own customers and your own offer. Ask it to "rewrite the angle for us, don't copy it", and it does exactly that. > **Tip:** Prefer to browse? The **Ad Library** tab on **Ads** is a gallery of real LinkedIn ads from leading companies, refreshed every day. Press **Recreate** on any ad and Revnu writes your own version, with a fresh image to match. ## Related [How Revnu runs your ads](/docs/how-revnu-runs-ads), [find leads by buying signal](/docs/uc-buying-signals) and [recurring work with workflows](/docs/recurring-work). ## Frequently asked questions ### Can Revnu show me what ads my competitors are running? Yes. Name the competitors or the keywords, and Revnu searches the public ad libraries of LinkedIn, Meta, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit and Microsoft. It brings back their ads with the copy, the call to action and where each ad links, then summarises what they're saying. ### Which ad libraries does Revnu use? The LinkedIn Ad Library, the Meta Ad Library for Facebook and Instagram, the Google Ads Transparency Center, the TikTok Ad Library and Creative Center, the X Ads Repository, the Reddit Ads Inspiration Library and the Microsoft Ad Library. Each one has its own guide in this section. ### Do I need an ad account to research competitor ads? No. The ad libraries are public, so Revnu can research them on any account. Connect an ad account when you want Revnu to turn what it learned into paused draft ads you can approve. ### Will Revnu copy a competitor's ad? Revnu borrows the angle, never the words or the images. It writes ads from your own offer, customers and proof, in your voice, and makes fresh images for them. ### Can Revnu tell me when a competitor launches new ads? Yes. Ask for a weekly check and Revnu sets up a workflow that searches the libraries on a schedule and reports new ads, new offers and new advertisers to Slack, iMessage or the dashboard. ### Can I find leads from companies running ads? Yes. A company running ads has budget and a goal right now. Ask Revnu to search an ad library for a keyword your buyers advertise on, and it adds the companies that fit to **Leads** with the right person and outreach about what they're pushing. ### Can Revnu see how much a competitor spends on ads? Revnu shows what each library publishes. Most libraries show how long an ad has run, and some show spend or reach ranges for certain ads, such as ads shown in Europe. An ad that has run for months is the clearest sign it's working for them.
