Your first research session

Begin with a company, a product category, or a question a potential customer might ask.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Ad Library

Switch between four views to approach the same captured dataset from a different angle.

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.

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.

  1. Check the scope and date

    Read the reporting period and update date above the metrics. Traffic figures are worldwide estimates; coverage varies by website.

  2. Explore the available breakdown

    Pro unlocks available trends, acquisition channels, AI platform details, and other website context. Missing data stays unavailable.

  3. 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.

Access & credits

What each access level includes
AccessWhat you can explore
GuestPublic library summaries, short creative previews, and these guides. Sign in to use workspace research tools.
Signed in · FreeA limited catalog preview and one successful website snapshot with three headline traffic metrics.
ProFull available ad evidence, advanced filters, saved research, and available website details. New search or classification analysis uses a quoted credit cost.
APISeparate, restricted internal access. A Pro subscription alone does not grant API access.

Browsing existing ads, filtering the Pro library, and saving existing reports do not spend credits. New provider-backed search or classification analysis requires confirmation of a credit quote. A recent cached result may cost zero credits.

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 soon

This 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.

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.
