What ads can reveal
Public ads can show the problems a competitor emphasizes, the audiences it appears to target, the offers it promotes, and the creative formats it repeats.
Look for message patterns
Repeated themes across many ads can indicate important positioning choices. Longevity can be a clue worth investigating, but it is not proof of profitability.
Follow the click
The landing page shows whether the ad promise continues into the funnel. Message continuity is often more instructive than the ad by itself.
Avoid unsupported conclusions
You generally cannot know a competitor’s true spend, conversion rate, customer value, or profitability from public creative alone.
Turn findings into tests
Use the research to form new hypotheses about your own audience, message, and offer. Keep the final creative original.
