The old way wastes your time

Researching competitor Google ads used to mean slow, manual work across multiple tools.

Before
  • Open the Google Ads Transparency Centre and search for a competitor brand
  • Browse through individual ad creatives one at a time
  • Copy ad headlines, descriptions, and formats into a spreadsheet
  • Upload that spreadsheet to Claude and ask your question
  • Repeat from scratch when you need to check a different brand or get fresh data
After
  • Open Claude
  • "Find the Google advertiser for [brand] and fetch their active ads"
  • Claude identifies the verified advertiser, pulls live ad creatives, and analyses messaging
  • Ask follow-ups, compare a second brand, or filter by format - no starting over
  • Done.
Google Ads Library vs. your own Google Ads account. The Google Ads Library tools let you research any brand's public ads on the Ads Transparency Centre - no account connection required. If you want to analyse your own campaign performance, spend, and search terms, that is a separate set of tools that connects to your own Google Ads account via OAuth. Both are included in the same connector.

How it works

Three steps from zero to live competitor ad intelligence inside Claude.

1

Sign up and connect

Create a free account, paste the MCP connector URL into Claude Settings, and sign in with your Smacient credentials. Done in under a minute. No Google account connection required for Ads Library tools.

2

Ask Claude

Name the brand. "Find the Google advertiser for Nike and fetch their current ads. Filter to display format only." Claude handles the rest.

3

Get insights

Claude finds the verified advertiser ID, pulls live ad creatives with copy and thumbnails, and delivers a structured analysis - all inside the same conversation.

What you can extract from the Google Ads Library

Two tools that work in sequence - find the advertiser first, then fetch their live ad creatives.

Advertiser Discovery by Brand or Domain

  • Search for any advertiser by brand name or domain
  • Returns verified advertiser ID, country, and ad volume
  • Confirms which advertiser ID to use before fetching creatives
  • Useful when a brand name could match multiple advertisers
find_google_advertiser

Live Ad Creative Retrieval

  • Fetch actual ad creatives for any verified advertiser
  • Ad copy: headlines, descriptions, and CTA text
  • Ad format: responsive, display, video, or text
  • Thumbnail URLs and image assets where available
get_google_ads

Filters for Precise Research

  • Filter by ad format: responsive, display, video, or text
  • Filter by region and country
  • Filter by active or inactive status
  • Filter by date range to see what a brand was running at a specific time
get_google_ads

Advertiser-to-Ads in One Request

  • Claude chains both tools automatically in a single ask
  • No need to manually copy advertiser IDs between steps
  • Compare two brands in the same conversation
  • Switch filters mid-conversation without restarting
find_google_advertiser get_google_ads

Historical Ad Activity

  • Fetch inactive ads alongside active ones
  • Filter by date range to research past campaign periods
  • See what creative a brand was testing before a product launch
  • Track how a competitor's messaging has shifted over time
get_google_ads

Multi-Brand Competitive Analysis

  • Research multiple competitors in a single conversation
  • Ask Claude to compare ad volumes across brands
  • Identify which formats a category is investing in most
  • Surface messaging gaps between your brand and competitors
find_google_advertiser get_google_ads

Built for marketing teams

Three Google Ads Library workflows marketers run every week - all inside Claude, no Transparency Centre browsing.

Pre-Campaign Competitor Intelligence

Before launching a campaign, ask Claude to pull a competitor's current active ads and identify the headlines, offers, and formats they are investing in. Use it to brief your creative team or sharpen your own messaging angle.

"Find the Google advertiser for [competitor] and fetch their active ads. What are the most common headline patterns and what offers are they leading with right now?"

Saves ~4 hours per campaign brief

Category Ad Format Benchmarking

Want to know which ad formats are dominating in your category? Pull three or four competitor brands in the same conversation and ask Claude to compare their format mix. Responsive, display, or video - see where the category is investing before you decide your own split.

"Find advertisers for [brand1], [brand2], and [brand3]. Fetch their active ads and compare the format distribution. Which format is the category spending most on?"

Saves ~5 hours per category audit

Client Ad Creative Audits

Client wants to know what competitors are running before the quarterly strategy review. Fetch three competitor brands, compare their active ad copy, formats, and messaging themes, and hand over a brief the same day. No Transparency Centre browsing, no spreadsheet assembly.

"Fetch active ads for [competitor1] and [competitor2]. Summarise the messaging differences and identify any offers or formats our client is not using that competitors are."

Saves ~6 hours per client audit

Frequently asked questions

No. The Google Ads Library tools access publicly available data from the Google Ads Transparency Centre. No account connection is required. You can research any brand's ads without linking any Google account at all.

The Google Ads Library tools (find_google_advertiser and get_google_ads) pull publicly visible ad creatives for any brand from the Ads Transparency Centre - no account needed and credits are charged. The Google Ads account tools connect to your own Google Ads campaigns via OAuth to pull your spend, search terms, and campaign performance - those are free to use once connected. Both are included in the same connector.

Yes. The Google Ads Transparency Centre is a public resource. Any brand that runs Google ads has their ad creatives publicly visible there. The connector gives Claude structured access to that same public data, so you can research any advertiser by name or domain.

Google's Ads Transparency Centre uses internal advertiser IDs, not brand names, to identify advertisers. The find_google_advertiser tool resolves the brand name or domain into the correct verified advertiser ID. Claude then passes that ID automatically to get_google_ads. You never need to handle the ID yourself - just name the brand.

The Smacient's Claude Connector works with Claude.ai (Pro and Team plans support custom connectors), Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork. Any Claude client that supports MCP will work. If you can add a custom MCP server URL, this connector will work.

After signing up, go to Claude.ai Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste the URL from your Smacient dashboard and click Connect. Claude will prompt you to sign in with your Smacient account. Full instructions are in your dashboard and documentation.

No. One connector URL unlocks all tools across 14 platforms: Google Ads Library, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Google Maps, Amazon, App Store, Google Play, Meta Ads Library, Google Keyword Planner, GA4, Search Console, Meta Ads, and Google Ads. Credits work across all tools.

No. Credits never expire. Buy a pack when you need it and use them at your own pace.
