Search by product category

Keywords like "skincare", "supplements", "dog treats", "activewear" match ad copy. Run them in Prospect Cheap's Facebook Ad Library scraper for your target countries.

Qualify by ad activity

  • Active ad count — more ads usually means more budget and testing.
  • First ad started — long-running advertisers are established.
  • Latest ad started — recent launches signal active testing.
  • Followers — brand size.

Each advertiser comes with website, email and Instagram where available. Founders of smaller brands often answer their own inbox.

What to offer

Opener

"Hi Mia — Pawsome has run the same two video ads since February. Brands at your stage usually see a lift from fresh hooks every few weeks. Want three concepts, free?"

Segment by brand size

  • Few ads, few followers: founder-led, decides fast, small budgets.
  • Many ads, mid-size following: growth stage, testing heavily — the sweet spot for most agencies.
  • Huge pages: usually have agencies already; harder to win.

Look at the landing page

Click the website link. Slow pages, weak product pages or missing reviews are easy improvements to suggest, and they directly affect the ad spend the brand is already paying for.

Seasonal timing

Brands plan big pushes for seasonal sales. Pitch new creative and landing pages six to eight weeks before major shopping seasons, when they are planning budgets.

Follow up with something new

If they don't reply, send one fresh idea a week later: a new hook, a competitor ad you noticed, a quick landing-page note. Value in every message keeps you out of the "ignore" pile.

Frequently asked questions

Each advertiser includes a link to their ads in the Facebook Ad Library, where you can see the ads themselves.
