How to see competitor Facebook ads with Claude or ChatGPT

Ask Claude or ChatGPT for a competitor's live Facebook and Instagram ads from the Meta Ad Library, with copy, offers, landing pages and days running. Real run on Ridge.

With Adlicio connected, Claude or ChatGPT can search the public Meta Ad Library for you. You get each ad's copy, call to action, landing page and how long it has run, plus the brands behind the ads. You do not need to scroll the Ad Library or take screenshots.

Steps#

  1. Connect Adlicio to Claude or ChatGPT.
  2. Ask for the brand's ads. Name the brand as its Facebook page shows it, and add the country if it is not the US.
  3. Ask for the longest-running ads first. Ads that run for months are a good place to start.
  4. Ask the assistant to compare the hooks, offers and landing pages.
Prompt
Use Adlicio to find the active Facebook and Instagram ads for Ridge wallet in the US, longest-running first. For each ad, give me the hook, the offer, the landing page and the days running. Then tell me which other brands showed up.

A real result#

We ran that search on 7 October 2026. It returned 10 active ads from 8 advertisers.

  • Ridge's own ad had run for 85 days: "Introducing the Limited Edition Atomic Purple Wallet... Holds 1-12 cards, blocks RFID, and comes with a Built-for-Life warranty." It sends buyers to ridge.com.
  • The same ad also ran from a creator's page that points to ridge.com. Brands often run ads through smaller pages, so look at the landing domain, not only the page name.
  • A competitor showed up. Simpl ran "I tested over 24+ wallets, and most were TERRIBLE" with a "BOGO FREE TODAY" offer, for 78 days.
  • Not every result was about wallets. A keyword search also finds ads that only mention the brand, like a podcast ad and an AI ad tool. Ask the assistant to keep only ads whose landing page is the brand's own store.

Tips#

  • Find the competitors first. Ask "Which brands run the most Meta ads about minimalist wallets?" and Adlicio ranks the brands by their live ad count.
  • Read the script of a video ad. Paste an Ad Library link and ask for the transcript. You get the spoken words of the ad.
  • Stores only. Ask for ads that send buyers to an online store to drop clinics, apps and local services.
  • Days running is a signal, not proof. A long run suggests the ad works, but it does not show spend or profit.

What it costs#

  • Ad search: 1 credit per search, not per ad (All Access & Team). The limit is 25 searches a day.
  • Brand ranking: 3 credits.
  • Video ad transcript: 1 credit. Image ads and ads with no speech cost nothing.

Questions#

Is this the same data as the Meta Ad Library?#

Yes. Adlicio reads the public Meta Ad Library. It does not show spend, audience age or targeting, because Meta does not publish them for most ads.

Can I see ads that stopped running?#

Yes. Ask for inactive ads, or for all ads, in your prompt.

Does it work outside the US?#

Yes. Name the country in your prompt, for example "ads shown in Germany".
