About competitor-ad-teardown

A marketing skill for analyzing competitors’ active ads in Meta Ad Library and turning observed messaging patterns into original angle hypotheses. It emphasizes variation and ad longevity as evidence, without copying creative or treating implied results as fact.

Key features

  1. 01Group ads by underlying message
  2. 02Flag angles with repeated variations
  3. 03Note ads running 90+ days
  4. 04Identify audience, pain, promise, and tone
  5. 05Generate original angle hypotheses

Use cases

  1. 01Research market angles before writing ads
  2. 02Find new hypotheses after tested angles plateau
  3. 03Compare competitor messaging across pages

Install

Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

Competitor Ad Teardown

Doctrine

Your competitors are running your angle experiments for you, in public, for free. The Meta Ad Library shows every active ad a page runs. Two signals separate proven angles from noise: an angle with many creative variations (nobody makes 12 versions of a loser) and an angle that has run for months (nobody pays to keep a loser alive). You are not stealing ads. You are reading the market's already-graded homework, then writing your own answer.

When to use

  • Before Angle Writer, to seed it with market-proven directions.
  • When your tested angles all plateaued and you need fresh hypotheses.
  • Works with no MCP: the Ad Library is public (facebook.com/ads/library). Web access helps.

Run it

Competitor ad teardown for my offer: [ONE-LINE OFFER]
My competitors: [2-5 NAMES OR PAGE URLS. If I only know one, suggest lookups for adjacent players.]

For each competitor, using the Meta Ad Library (facebook.com/ads/library, search their page, country: all):

1. PROVEN ANGLES: group their active ads by the underlying message, not the visual. Flag groups with 3+ variations (they are paying to scale that message) and any ad running 90+ days (it is paying them back).
2. For each proven angle, extract: WHO it targets (read it off the creative), the PAIN or desire it names, the PROMISE it makes, and the emotional register (fear, status, relief, belonging).
3. Their hero message (the one claim their whole account leans on) and their visible differentiator.
4. THE GAPS: which of my potential buyers do their angles ignore? Which pains does nobody in this market name? That white space is my opportunity list.

Then give me 3-5 angle hypotheses for MY offer: each one either (a) a proven market angle re-aimed at my differentiator, or (b) a gap angle nobody is running. Never copy their copy; the output is directions, not text.

Guardrails

  • Never reproduce a competitor's copy or creative. Patterns are free; plagiarism is a brand risk and usually a losing move anyway (their angle is fit to their offer, not yours).
  • Never cite a competitor's implied results as fact ("they must be printing money"). Longevity and variation count are the only honest signals the Library gives.
  • Date-stamp the teardown. Ad Libraries rot; a 6-month-old teardown is a history lesson.

Good output looks like

A table of competitors x proven angles with the two evidence signals per angle, a named white-space list, and 3-5 angle hypotheses ready to hand to Angle Writer.
