How AdPeekr Works

What Is AdPeekr and How Does It Work?

AdPeekr is an ad spy tool that sends alerts when your competitors launch new ads on Google, LinkedIn, Facebook or Instagram. Full explanation on our How It Works page.

Any business that is advertising can be tracked. There’s no minimum size or ad volume.

One tip: if a small business uses an agency for Google Ads, search by their web domain (e.g. adpeekr.com) rather than their brand name to find them reliably.

From your dashboard, search for any advertiser. Click “Subscribe” next to their name. That’s it—AdPeekr takes care of the rest. Learn more on How It Works.

Check your spam/junk folder. Confirm you’re subscribed to the correct advertiser—view settings under Account Settings. For further assistance, contact us via email at support@adpeekr.com.

Absolutely. Head to Subscriptions Plans or update under Account Settings.

Yes! In your Profile & Settings, you can choose to get alerts instantly (real-time), daily, or weekly. You can also set the exact time and day for notifications, or turn email alerts off completely and view all updates directly in your dashboard.

AdPeekr detects new competitor ads within a predictable 0–4 hour window, giving teams a consistent and fast way to react to market activity.

Not yet. AdPeekr is built around monitoring advertisers you already know — you search by name or domain and subscribe. Keyword- or industry-based discovery is something we’re exploring for the future. Join our Discord to follow along and add your vote.

Yes, as long as you know who to look for. You can subscribe to any advertiser and get alerted whenever they launch new ads. AdPeekr won’t proactively surface unknown parties misusing your brand, but if you have suspects in mind, it’s a solid way to keep an eye on them.

Platform Coverage

What Platforms Are Supported?

We currently monitor and therefore alert you on all public ads on these platforms:

Google Ads

  • Google Search Ads
  • Google Shopping Ads
  • Youtube Ads
  • Google Maps Ads
  • Google Play Ads

Meta’s Ads

  • Facebook Ads
  • Instagram Ads
  • Messenger Ads.

Linkedin Ads

  • Video, image and text ads

More platforms (e.g. TikTok Ads will be added soon).

Yes. Monitoring runs globally and 24/7, so you can track competitors regardless of where they advertise or what language their ads are in.

Monitoring is global there are no geo or time filters at this moment. The scheduling options (instant, daily, or weekly) only control when alerts are delivered to you, not what gets tracked.


Slots & Plans

How are alert slots counted?

Alerts slots are counted per competitor, per platform. Google counts as one platform (covering Search, YouTube, Shopping, etc.) and Meta counts as another. So if one competitor runs ads on both Google and Meta, that uses two slots.

Three competitors each on one platform = three slots.

As often as you like — there’s no limit. You can also pause and unpause alerts without deleting them, so your saved subscriptions stay in place and you can swap which ones are active at any time.

Unpaused alerts won’t affect your alert slots.

3 active alerts and 5 paused alerts = 3 alert slots used

Absolutely. Head to Subscriptions Plans or update under Account Settings.

Alerts & Notifications

How Do I Set Up an Alert?

From your dashboard, search for any advertiser. Click “Subscribe” next to their name. That’s it—AdPeekr takes care of the rest. Learn more on How It Works.

New ads are waiting for you in the “Notifications” area of your dashboard, sorted by advertiser and by day. You’ll also receive an email alert. You can view today’s new ads or go back to any previous day to see what launched then.

Search lets you browse a competitor’s existing ads live from the ad library. Useful for a quick look, but occasionally incomplete due to data limits imposed by the networks.

Notifications are different: once you subscribe to a competitor, AdPeekr pulls their new ads carefully and thoroughly, so everything that lands in your notifications area is complete and reliable.  Full creative, copy, and images.

Check your spam/junk folder. Confirm you’re subscribed to the correct advertiser—view settings under Account Settings. For further assistance, contact us via email at support@adpeekr.com.

Yes! In your Profile & Settings, you can choose to get alerts instantly (real-time), daily, or weekly. You can also set the exact time and day for notifications, or turn email alerts off completely and view all updates directly in your dashboard.

Not yet. Alerts go to your registered account email for now. This is on our radar as a future improvement.
