Who around you is paying for ads

You do not have to open every competitor to find out who is advertising. The Intelligence page counts them for you.

The rule

Most restaurants run no ads at all. Knowing which ones do is worth more than knowing what any one of them says.

How it works

Open Marketing Studio → Intelligence. Under your own numbers you see one short line:

2 of the 4 rivals we could read are paying for ads.

Below it we name the ones that are. Press See their ads to open that competitor on the Meta ads tab.

We count the competitors we have read. To read a new one, open that competitor and go to the Meta ads tab.

Good to know

  • The count only uses rivals whose page we could read. We say how many we could not read. That is not the same as “no ads”.
  • A rival we have not looked at yet is counted on its own line. Open their Meta ads tab to read them.
  • We say how long one ad has been running when we know. For some rivals we only know that they run ads, not what the ads say. Open them to see more.
  • We never say an ad did well. Facebook does not tell anyone how many people saw a restaurant ad.
  • We never say a rival runs no ads unless we reached their page and it was empty.
  • The panel is hidden when you watch nobody with a Facebook page.
