Frequently Asked Questions

The Meta Ad Library is a publicly searchable database of all ads running across Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network, and Messenger. For lead qualification, it is queried for each company on a prospect list to determine whether they are actively running ads — a strong signal that they have a marketing budget, a product to sell, and a performance marketing mindset that makes them a high-value target for agency services and marketing tools.

A company running active Meta ads is investing real money in paid customer acquisition — signaling an allocated marketing budget, measurable conversion goals, and likely an evaluation of cost per acquisition and return on ad spend. For agencies selling creative, landing page, CRO, or marketing automation services, an active Meta advertiser is exactly the right target.

The Meta Ad Library is publicly accessible — created by Meta specifically to provide advertising transparency. SearchAPI provides a programmatic interface to the Ad Library that mirrors public search functionality without requiring a Facebook login or violating any platform policies.

Each company is scored based on: number of active ad creatives currently running, duration of the current campaign, variety of ad formats used, and creative messaging themes. Companies scoring highest on these dimensions are routed first to outreach.

Yes. The AI reviews the ad creative content for each company and extracts the primary offer, target audience, and call-to-action — allowing outreach to reference the specific product or campaign the company is running.

Qualified Meta advertisers are routed to Saleshandy for email sequence enrollment, GoHighLevel for CRM pipeline creation, Slack for instant sales team notification, or a Google Sheet for manual review.

For active prospecting, running the full target list monthly is typical. For high-priority accounts, a weekly check catches companies that just launched their first campaign — often a strong buying signal for agency services.

How It Works
STEP 01

Lead list loaded from any source

Company names or domains loaded from Apollo, spreadsheet, LinkedIn Sales Navigator export, or CRM.

STEP 02

Each company queried against Meta Ad Library

n8n loops through every company and calls SearchAPI to retrieve all active and recent ad activity from the Meta Ad Library.

STEP 03

AI extracts and scores ad signals

GPT-4o reviews creative count, run duration, ad formats, and messaging themes to generate a quality score and plain-language summary of each company's advertising activity.

STEP 04

Companies classified by ad activity level

Active spenders (3+ creatives, 30+ days), testing companies (1 to 2 ads), and dormant companies (no active ads) are classified and prioritized accordingly.

STEP 05

Qualified leads enriched with ad intelligence

Each qualifying company's record is enriched with their ad score, active creative count, campaign themes, and a personalization hook referencing their specific ads.

STEP 06

Leads routed to outreach channel automatically

Active spenders are routed to Saleshandy for sequence enrollment or to Slack for SDR notification — with outreach messaging referencing the company's specific ad activity.

All lead data, company names, and API responses shown are simulated for illustration. Actual Meta Ad Library results depend on advertiser page names, regional availability, and Meta platform policies.
