If you are a digital marketer, you will agree with me when I say that you spend a lot of money on ads every week. Sure, this step is inevitable, but you cannot afford to make mistakes with so much money on the line. 

While trial and error seem to be one inexpensive way every marketer follows to find the best ads in their niche, it definitely isn’t worth all the time and investment. You can’t spend your entire day looking for what sells in the market and what doesn’t. 

With a team to manage, a business to run, and various other responsibilities to handle, it becomes almost impossible to keep a tab on the recent trends and memorize what’s happening. 

But here’s a thing- you cannot stand out in front of your audience if you can’t keep up with their current expectations. What to do, then? Well, the trick isn’t to stretch your working hours- but to use tools that do this job for you. The catch here? Let’s get right into it.

Choose Smart Work Over Hard Work 

Use Ad Intelligence Tools 

You can, of course, find the best ads on any platform manually. But, as already discussed, they consume a lot of time, energy, and failed attempts. Recreating what already works among your audience is WAY SMARTER than creating things from scratch. 

If we take the best-performing ads in your niche and dilute them down to the core elements, they all must be: 

1. Engaging the viewers, with higher likes, comments, and shares;

2. Have a commendable appearance and content composition;

3. Use a compelling CTA text;

4. Have a convincing landing page;

5. Micro-target their customers in most of the campaigns;

6. Have something to offer, ex.- a coupon code, content, etc.;

7. Perform well in the long run;

And so on…

Not every campaign follows a specified pattern, but the points that I mentioned here are a prerequisite to the ones that outperform their competitors. Now let’s get into how you can filter them down using tools for creative inspiration in your next campaigns. 

How To Find Best Ads? 

Find what works for other brands before creating a strategy for your own. We, at PowerAdSpy, are assisting our audience in doing so with our powerful filters and super-intuitive dashboard. We collect and display ads from over 20 million sources on eight platforms- Facebook, Google, GDN, Native, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, and Quora. 

Let’s not beat around the bush. Here’s how you can find the best ads using PowerAdSpy. 

Getting Started With Dashboard 

Log into the PowerAdSpy dashboard to get access to all the features. You can download the Chrome extension and get started with a free trial. 

The home page, by default, displays the Facebook ads. Select the platform you want from the left side of your screen to start filtering ads on it. 

You’ll then get a goldmine of all the ads running on your chosen platform. 

Filtering the Best-Performing Ads 

Here comes the cherry on the cake. PowerAdSpy lets you filter and narrow down your searches to specify the type of ads you want in your search results. Let’s look into some of the filters that find the best ads on the platform: 

1. Search By Keyword 

A keyword is a set of words/ phrases that advertisers use in their content to target the audience who might be interested in it. For instance, the ads with the keyword espresso would preferably target coffee lovers. 

Type a keyword that orients around your product to look for the best-performing ads at the very top. Also, if you’re unable to find enough ample keywords to start with your ad copies, pull down a list of what your competitors use. 

2. Sort By Social Shares 

The more the number of social shares, the better the content performs. But if you are trying to look for local brands, you may want to keep the bar low. You can specify the number of likes, shares, and comments that you want in your ad results by going to the Sort By option on the top. Enter the range, and you will get the ad results accordingly. 

3. Find the Best CTA 

A compelling call-to-action (CTA) button gets more conversions than you can expect. Go to Filters> Call To Action. You will get a list of CTAs in different languages. Select the one that works for you. All the ads that use the CTA will appear on your screen- the best-performing ones being on the top. 

4. Audience Targeting 

Look for the ads published for your target audience. Geotarget your audience by specifying their country from filters. 

You can also target ad viewers by their language and gender from the same icon. And set a range for their age. 

5. Specify Media Type & Position 

Some campaigns work better in the video format compared to ad banners. Go to Filters> Ad Type to choose the media format of your competitors’ ads. 

To specify the ad position, go to Filters> Ad Position, then click on the ad position for which you want the results.

6. Specify Lander Properties 

Filter the properties of the landing pages linked to your competitors’ ads. PowerAdSpy provides you with the option to choose the eCommerce platform, funnels used, marketing platform, and the source of ads (desktop, android, iOS, or all). 

7. Sort the Longest Running Ads 

The longest-running ads usually perform the best on any platform. Go to Sort By> Running Longest to get a list of all the campaigns running for a while.
