Notes

To display ad images inside Google Sheets, use the formula: =IMAGE(<cell_with_image_url>)

You can also send the results to the AI node and ask it to analyze the ads (summarize creative styles, highlight trends, or compare platforms).

This workflow helps you uncover what your competitors are running across all major ad platforms — and puts it neatly into Google Sheets for you to study, filter, and present.
It pulls data from Google Ads Transparency, Meta Ads Library, and TikTok Ads Library, giving you a consolidated view of creatives and messaging.

You can start by pasting an advertiser’s public ad library URL, or manually enter details like advertiser name, ID, country, and ad format.
Once configured, the workflow creates a dedicated tab for each platform:

Meta Ads (Facebook & Instagram) – Capture image ads, video ads, carousels, and their accompanying text captions, headlines, and call-to-actions.
Google Ads – Export search text ads, display creatives, and YouTube video ads with full metadata such as headlines, descriptions, and landing page info.
TikTok Ads – Track vertical video ads, captions, and engagement details to see which creative styles competitors are testing.
