Google Ads Transparency

Four ways to read the ads

Choose a mode. Ads lists every ad a company runs, with dates, format, creative preview, a link to the ad and the countries it appeared in. Check answers "does this company run Google Ads?" with one row per company: yes or no, active now, rough ad count and last ad date. Advertisers finds a company's advertiser accounts and IDs. Monitor runs on a schedule and returns only the ads launched since the last run.

• Competitor ads
• Runs Google Ads?
• Advertiser IDs
• New-ads monitor
• Up to 10 countries
• Search, YouTube, Shopping

Filter by format (text, image, video), by Google platform and by date, including relative dates such as "last 30 days" for scheduled runs. A domain search can also show ads from other advertisers that link to it, such as agencies and resellers. Each ad is flagged, and one setting keeps only the company's own ads.

• Marketers studying competitors' ads, offers and launch timing

Pay only for what you get

Example: one competitor's 40 latest ads in one country costs $0.049. Prices are set on the Apify Store. Runs and billing are handled by Apify under its terms and privacy policy. To find ads, the domains, names or advertiser IDs and the countries you enter are sent to our data provider, DataForSEO. Nothing else about you is sent.

Where the ads come from

Ads come from Google's public Ads Transparency Center, through DataForSEO. Ad counts are Google's own rounded estimates. Very large advertisers return their most recently shown ads, up to 1,000 per company. Text ads come as preview images. Google does not publish spend, impressions or targeting.
