Monitor competitors' ads

Use with AI

Track which ads your competitors run on Facebook, Instagram and the rest of Meta's network, what they say and how long they keep them running.

The prompt

Paste it into your agent and replace the parts in angle brackets. The agent needs SocialTap: connect it with the MCP server or an API key.

Prompt
Monitor the ads of <competitor names or keywords> in <countries>.

For each competitor, search Meta's Ad Library for their name and their main product keywords, active ads first, then ads that ran since <start date>. Page through the results until they stop matching the competitor.

Then report, per competitor:
- How many ads are active now, and when the oldest of them started: long-running ads are the ones that work for them.
- The offers, angles and calls to action they repeat, quoting the ad copy.
- The formats they use (image, video, carousel) and the platforms the ads run on.
- What is new since <last report date>, if I give you one.

Finish with what the competitors have in common and where they differ, and keep the ad links so I can open each one.

Get the data from SocialTap. If the SocialTap MCP server is connected, use its tools; otherwise call the REST API at https://staging.socialtap.dev with the API key from the SOCIALTAP_API_KEY environment variable in the x-api-key header. Read https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/agents/index.md before the first call. The endpoints, by ID:
- facebook.search_ads: GET /v1/facebook/search_ads, Facebook Ad Library Search API. Docs: https://staging.socialtap.dev/docs/reference/facebook/search_ads/index.md
