How to use the Ad Spy Tool?

How to search, filter and analyze competitor ads with DropshipTool's Ad Spy Tool, and save what you find.

Written by Arsalan Ali

The Ad Spy Tool shows you the ads other stores are running, so you can see what is resonating in your market before spending on your own campaigns.

DropshipTool Ad Spy Tool search page

1. Set your search criteria

Enter keywords related to your niche or product in the search bar, and choose the ad format you are interested in — video, photo or both. Then narrow the results with Advanced filters:

  • Page IDs – target a specific advertiser.

  • Ad status – active or inactive. Ads that have been running a long time are usually the ones that are working.

  • Ad creation date – set a time frame for recent or historical ads.

  • Ad copy language

  • Country – choose a market, or "All" for every location.

2. Analyze the results

Review the ads that match your criteria and click any one to see it in detail — the creative, the copy and the product being promoted.

3. Monitor specific competitors

Search for a competitor to see their active and past campaigns. Their ad frequency, creative style and targeting tell you where they are investing.

4. Save and organize what you find

Bookmark high-performing ads and group them into folders by niche, product type or campaign idea, so you have a reference library when you write your own.

5. Apply it

Use what you have gathered to build your campaigns, then test different creatives, copy and targeting against each other rather than copying a single ad wholesale.
