1. Tell Ad8 what your brand does
Add your website, product category, key differentiators, and markets of interest. This gives your research a useful frame. Your inputs are context, not independently verified claims about your product.
2. Choose your competitors
Review suggested advertisers or add Pages manually. Confirm the identity and select supported markets. Start with the closest alternatives before broadening to aspirational references.
3. Inspect the available starting point
Existing records may be immediately available. New or incomplete Pages enter the collection workflow. Review the date range and coverage status rather than assuming every selected competitor has a complete history.
4. Explore the evidence
Open new observations, compare messages and visual structures, and inspect source details. Filter by what was observed in your selected period; do not confuse first-seen time with original launch time.
5. Build your next test brief
Read your weekly digest or generate an on-demand report. Choose a small number of original concepts with a clear variable to test. Bring the same evidence into a compatible AI client through MCP.
6. Repeat with a sharper question
Return to the tracked set to see what has changed. Refine the competitors, markets, or questions as your own strategy evolves. Your own campaign results—not competitor observation counts—determine whether a test succeeds.
Do I need to connect my Meta Ads account?
The proposed competitor-research workflow does not require access to your private advertising account. Any future first-party performance integration would require separate authorization and must not be implied by the launch product.
