GETTING STARTED
Your first research session
Begin with a company, a product category, or a question a potential customer might ask.
Sign in and search
Open Ad Library and sign in with Google. Search a brand, domain, or phrase, then narrow the results by industry and last-seen date.
Follow the context
Start with a creative, then explore its advertiser, associated prompts, and destination page. The free preview shows a limited sample; Pro opens the full available evidence.
Keep what matters
With Pro, save a record or search to revisit it. Saved searches run against the current catalog, so their results can change as records are added.
01 / DISCOVER
Ad Library
Switch between four views to approach the same captured dataset from a different angle.
Ads
Compare creative copy and images. Open an ad to inspect its available context and source evidence.
Advertisers
Find brands and domains, then follow the ads associated with each advertiser.
Buyer Prompts
Explore prompt text linked to captured ads and the questions around those records.
Landing Pages
Inspect recorded destinations and the ads that lead to each page.
Use More filters for available topic, intent, source niche, and date controls. Advanced filters and full details require Pro. Sort by the options shown in each view, and use the grid or table layout for ads.
02 / UNDERSTAND
Website Analysis
Enter a domain in Website Analysis and select Analyze. After signing in, your free account includes one successful domain snapshot with total visits, AI referrals, and AI share. Failed requests do not use that snapshot.
Check the scope and date
Read the reporting period and update date above the metrics. Traffic figures are worldwide estimates; coverage varies by website.
Explore the available breakdown
Pro unlocks available trends, acquisition channels, AI platform details, and other website context. Missing data stays unavailable.
Add search intelligence when needed
Choose the supported search market, open Search intelligence, and review the credit quote before confirming. Reports may include organic and paid keywords, search ads, paid competitors, backlinks, and shopping ads where available.
Use History to reopen an analysis and Save report to keep a result. Your free domain snapshot can be reopened without another provider call.

For search intelligence, a partial usable result can use the quoted credits. If every report fails or returns no usable data, reserved credits are released. Review the current plan and credit allowance on Pricing.

Custom Ad Research
Coming soonThis planned tool is for fresh ad evidence around a specific company, topic, or audience. New custom collection is not available yet, and the workspace does not currently accept research submissions.
Visit Custom Ad Research to see its availability, or continue exploring existing records in Ad Library.
RESEARCH WITH CONTEXT
Read the evidence carefully
- Captured appearances
- Counts from the captured source sample. They are not impressions, clicks, spend, reach, or market share.
- AI referrals
- Estimated website visits from AI platforms. They do not establish that a visitor clicked a paid ChatGPT ad.
- Unknown values
- A missing country, date, or metric is unavailable, not zero. An empty result does not prove the absence of activity.
- Catalog freshness
- Updated as new records are added. Check each record’s source dates and the displayed snapshot context.
