Is this company running ads?
Type a domain or business name. We search the Meta Ad Library and the Google Ads Transparency Center and tell you whether they're advertising right now — and roughly how much.
Where this data comes from
Both sources are public and official. Meta publishes every ad it serves in the Ad Library — in the EU that publication is legally mandated by the Digital Services Act, which is why European records also carry a start date and reach figures. Google publishes the equivalent in its Ads Transparency Center, covering Search, YouTube, Display and Gmail.
We read those libraries the same way you would — we just do it against both at once and hand you the summary. Nothing here is scraped from the advertiser's own website, and nothing is guessed.
Common questions
How do I check if a company is running Facebook or Instagram ads?
Enter their website domain or business name above. We search Meta's public Ad Library — the same database Meta is legally required to publish — and report whether any active ads are running, plus how many and when the earliest one started.
Does this check Google ads too?
Yes. Every check queries both the Meta Ad Library and the Google Ads Transparency Center, so you see Search, YouTube and Display activity alongside Facebook and Instagram.
Why does it sometimes say it couldn't determine the answer?
Both libraries are searched by text, and some advertisers verify under a legal name that differs from their brand. When we can't get a readable answer we say so rather than guessing — a confident 'no ads' that's wrong is worse than no answer at all.
Are the ad counts exact?
No, and nobody's are. Meta reports a search-result count and Google reports an approximate figure, so a similarly-named advertiser can be swept in. Treat the numbers as a signal of scale, not an inventory.
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no account needed to see whether a business is advertising. There's an hourly limit on fresh lookups because each one drives a real browser against both libraries.
