Check Out Your Competitors\u2019 Ads<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a detailed guide on how to use the <\/span><b>Facebook Ad Library<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to check competitors&#8217; ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-schema-attribute=\"\"><b>Facebook Ad Library<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Select the location, then choose &#8220;All Ads&#8221; and enter the page name in the search box. For example, we search \u201c<b>Socialhead<\/b>\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7955\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7955\" class=\"wp-image-7955\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/2-2.jpg\" alt=\"Select a location, category, and enter the page name\" width=\"800\" height=\"344\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Select a location, category, and enter the page name<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: You can use &#8220;filters&#8221; to find out if their ads are running on different platforms like Instagram, Messenger, etc., or daily ads (we&#8217;ll learn more about this in the next part).<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7956\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7956\" class=\"wp-image-7956\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3-2.jpg\" alt=\"The \u201cFilters\u201d has a lot of great features\" width=\"800\" height=\"365\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7956\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The \u201cFilters\u201d has a lot of great features<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: From here, you can already analyze the ad. However, posts that are run anonymously will not be displayed. Most of the ads you can search for are posts that everyone can see.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7957\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7957\" class=\"wp-image-7957\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/4-1.jpg\" alt=\"You can already analyze the ads\" width=\"800\" height=\"370\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7957\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can already analyze the ads<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ultimate goal is to learn from others in your industry.

Use The \u201cImpressions\u201d Filter<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, you may want to look at which advertisements received the most impressions on specific days. The &#8220;Impressions by Date&#8221; filter in the <\/span><b>Facebook Ad Library<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows you to do this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conduct a search to filter ads by impressions. Then click the Filters option and scroll down to the section &#8220;Impressions by date&#8221; at the bottom of the pop-up window.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7958\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7958\" class=\"wp-image-7958\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cImpressions by date\u201d filter\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7958\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cImpressions by date\u201d filter<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if you want to know which advertisements had the most impressions over the summer holidays, you might choose a period ranging from June to September.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Search For Specific Media Types By Using Filters<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the media type filter ads, you can narrow your results down to ads that feature photos, memes, videos, or video transcripts.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7966\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7966\" class=\"wp-image-7966\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/7-5.jpg\" alt=\"You can search for a specific media type\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7966\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can search for a specific media type<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are some ad formats your target audience favors more, so using this filter is really helpful. You may also observe how competitors make use of different media kinds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From there, you may gain more experience to create perfect advertisements for your brand.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. View Facebook Ads and Other Meta Platforms<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Facebook now owns not only Facebook but also Instagram and WhatsApp, you may select to have your ads displayed across multiple Meta platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That means you can see what platforms the other ads appear on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ad, for example, appeared on Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network, and Messenger, as illustrated in the picture below.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7968\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7968\" class=\"wp-image-7968\" src=\"http:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/8.jpg\" alt=\"You can also see the platforms where the ads appeared\" width=\"800\" height=\"140\" title=\"\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-7968\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">You can also see the platforms where the ads appeared<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This will be really beneficial since you can know which platforms your competitors do not use for advertising. From there, you can experiment with those unexploited channels to improve the effectiveness of your company&#8217;s ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this blog, we&#8217;ve learned what the <\/span><b>Facebook Ad Library<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is, its importance, and ways to use this tool to optimize your ads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can both utilize the <\/span><b>Facebook Ad Library<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to keep up with current ad trends and optimize our advertising, whether you\u2019re a consumer or a brand\u2019s marketer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope that this blog will assist you in making the most of this valuable and available resource in order to make everything easier.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scroll down this blog to find out what the Facebook Ad Library is and the five best ways to use it to optimize your ads!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":7951,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[51],"tags":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7950"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7950"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7950\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15654,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7950\/revisions\/15654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onecommerce.io\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
