The Impressions Spy: Find Every Winning Competitor Ad in Your Niche in 10 Minutes
Use Meta's Ad Library to find the ads competitors are actually spending money on. Use Cowork to parse the findings, identify the patterns, and write next week's creative brief. No API keys, no cron jobs, no code.
On a Wednesday in May, a woman named Jess who runs a Shopify candle brand in Savannah, Georgia opened the Meta Ad Library in her browser, typed in her three biggest competitors, applied one filter that did not exist six months ago, and in nine minutes had a list of every ad those competitors were actively scaling. Not every ad they were running. Every ad they were spending real money on.
One competitor had 340 active ads. Only 11 of them were in the 100K-plus impression range. Those 11 were the ones that mattered. Everything else was testing noise.

- + How to separate a competitor’s 11 winners from their 340 tests
- + The Cowork prompt that turns screenshots into a pattern report in 45 seconds
- + The weekly creative brief built from what’s already working
The manual version works until week three, when you skip it, skip it again, and go back to guessing what to make. Guessing is the most expensive habit in marketing. This is the version that never skips, never forgets last month’s winners, and hands you next week’s brief.
This is the part that pays for itself.
