SearchTheTrendWhy sellers pick SearchTheTrend. Radar finds the new ads for you.
Type a keyword, a store or a Facebook page. Radar searches the Meta Ad Library for you, sorts out who advertises it, what they sell and how much they make, and adds the new ads every day.
- Three ways to search: a keyword, an online store or a Facebook page.
- Ads, products and advertisers in three tabs, with estimated revenue and visits for each product.
- AI filters keep DTC stores and emerging brands and leave out the giants.
- The new ads are added every day, so the market stays up to date without searching again.
