YouTube ad spy tool for video ad research

YouTube ads are the hardest to research by hand. You cannot scroll a feed of them, and Google's Ads Transparency Center lists a brand's videos with no way to sort, tag, or track the ones that matter. Most marketers just miss what competitors are doing on YouTube entirely.

AdEye pulls that public YouTube ad data into one feed next to your other channels, AI-tags each video by hook, angle, and format, and shows how long each has been running so the proven ads stand out. It is all public Transparency Center data, organized so you can plan your next video test.

Why AdEye

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

Not four browser tabs and a stale doc. One query across every ad library, the strategy behind each creative, and a living swipe file with alerts. Public ad-library data only.

Every platform at once

Meta, Google, TikTok and YouTube searched in one feed for any brand or niche, so competitor ad research is one query instead of four manual hunts.

The AI reads the why

Every creative is tagged with its hook, angle and format, and a working signal flags the long-runners and scalers, so you see why an ad works, not just what it ran.

A swipe file that stays current

Save winners to boards and get alerted when a tracked competitor launches or scales a new ad, so your research never goes stale in a Google Doc.

Good questions

Questions about youtube ad spy

AdEye reads the public Google Ads Transparency Center, which lists the video ads every advertiser runs across YouTube and the Google network. We surface only that public disclosure data, never a private ad account or anything behind a login.
No, and no honest tool can. The Transparency Center never publishes spend, budget, or view counts for paid placements. What AdEye reads is the signal you can actually act on: how long each video ad has been live and how many variations are running, which together tell you what is working.
Yes. AdEye merges public ads from YouTube, Meta, Google, and TikTok into a single feed. You can filter to one competitor and see every channel they run at once, so YouTube research is part of the same search instead of a separate manual hunt.
