Tools to search ad libraries

The problem, in plain words: “I need a way to search competitors' Google Ads by keyword so I can see the actual ad copy they're running.”

No tool in the catalog fully fits this yet.

You need a tool that accepts keywords and returns actual Google Search ad creatives (full ad text and advertiser) so you can inspect competitors' search ads by keyword.

Partly fits

Adyntelpartial · 58

Adyntel's core purpose is ad intelligence and it centralizes ads a company runs, which helps competitive research into advertisers and their creatives.

Won’t cover: It focuses on pulling ads by target companies and workflows into Sheets or CRMs rather than letting you query Google Search ads by arbitrary keyword.

AdKitpartial · 52

AdKit monitors competitors' ads across multiple platforms and alerts when they launch new creatives, which is useful for competitive ad surveillance.

Won’t cover: Its workflow centers on monitoring specific competitors and platforms rather than performing free-text keyword→Google Search ad lookups.

AdSpyderpartial · 50

AdSpyder provides AI-powered campaign insights and competitor analysis that can surface competitors' advertising strategies and creatives for research.

Won’t cover: It appears oriented to campaign- and trend-level insights rather than a dedicated keyword search that returns live Google Search ad copy for a query.

Competitor Ad Trackerpartial · 47

This browser extension reveals active ads a competitor runs while you browse their site, giving immediate access to live creatives in context.

Won’t cover: It surfaces ads in the context of visiting a site rather than letting you enter arbitrary keywords to search Google Search ad copy directly.
