Search ad libraries · Active Ads Lookup

Facebook Ad Library active ads: see who is running Facebook ads, by company name or website

To check a company's active ads, open the Meta Ad Library, set the country to United States, choose All ads and type the exact Facebook Page name. Anything labeled Active is live right now. If nothing comes back, that advertiser has no running ads in that country, or you searched a product name instead of the Page name.

That is fine for one brand. It falls apart across a list of thirty prospects, and it tells you nothing about what changed since last week. AdEye does not run this lookup against Meta, so a prospect list still means opening Meta's library brand by brand. What AdEye does is the same check against Google's ad archive: paste a brand or a website and get every live Google ad for that advertiser in one feed, AI-tagged by hook, angle and format, with run length so proven ads separate themselves from fresh tests.

Google Ads Transparency has no ads on record for that search. Google indexes ads by advertiser, so the brand's exact domain works best, for example nike.com.
Google Ads Transparency has no ads on record for . That is an answer about the brand, not a problem with the search: they are not running Google ads that Google publishes, or they advertise under a different registered name.
We could not reach Google Ads Transparency just now, so this is not a result about that brand, we simply could not look. Please try again in a moment. This search has not been counted against your allowance.

GOOGLE ADS TRANSPARENCY

Run length on every ad

AI-tagged hooks & angles

Why it works

What an active ads lookup gives you

Active or nothing

Every card in the feed is an ad that is live today, so a brand with an empty feed genuinely is not advertising right now.

Look up by name or site

Start from a company name, a Facebook Page or the website you are researching instead of guessing the exact Page spelling Meta expects.

Run length, not a screenshot

Every ad carries its first-seen date and how long it has been running, so a creative an advertiser keeps funding stands apart from one they tried for a week.

What it surfaces

Every ad card carries the hook, angle and a working signal

You type a brand or a domain. AdEye pulls that advertiser's live public Google ads into one feed and AI-tags each creative on the paid plans, so you read the strategy and spot the long-running winners before you save a single one.

Why AdEye

One feed, the AI read, the working signal in view

Not a stale doc full of screenshots. One query for a brand, the run length on every creative, and a swipe file worth reopening. Public ad-library data only.

Every Google ad at once

The Google Ads Transparency Center searched by brand or domain, so competitor ad research is one query instead of clicking through Google's own viewer.

The AI reads the why

Creatives are tagged with their hook, angle and format on the paid plans, a few per search and kept once read, and a working signal flags the long-runners, so you see why an ad works, not just what it ran.

A swipe file that stays current

Save winners to boards, each keeping its run length and a link back to the original creative on Google, so the file is still useful months later.

Good questions

Questions about active ads lookup

Search the company in the Meta Ad Library with the country set to United States and the category set to All ads. Every result marked Active is a live ad. An empty result means no ads are running in that country, or the Page name you typed does not match Facebook exactly.
Open the Page in the Meta Ad Library and it lists each live creative with its start date. AdEye does the same in one view and adds run length and hook tags, so you can tell a scaled winner from a two-day test without opening every ad.
It is the URL parameter Meta uses to show every ad belonging to one Facebook Page. The number after it is that Page ID. Swapping in a different Page ID pulls up that advertiser's active ads directly, which is why the string shows up in shared research links.
Not natively. Meta matches on Page name and ad text, not on the advertiser's domain, so a company whose Page name differs from its website is easy to miss. AdEye resolves a website to the advertiser behind it, which is the usual reason a manual library search comes back empty.
Usually one of three things: the brand has genuinely paused its ads, the Page name you searched is not the exact one Facebook holds, or your country filter is set somewhere the brand does not buy. Check the Page name against the company's actual Facebook profile first.
The library labels each ad Active or Inactive and shows the date it started. Ordinary commercial ads vanish from the library once they stop, so almost everything you can still see for a normal brand is currently running. Only political and issue ads stay archived after they end.
There is no public cap you can read off the library, and counts vary from one ad to several hundred. A high active count with many variations of one concept usually means the advertiser found something that works and is scaling it. A handful of short-lived actives usually means testing.
Yes. Meta publishes the Ad Library specifically for advertising transparency, and it is open without an account. AdEye only reads that same public data. Nothing here comes from behind a login or from any advertiser's ad account.
