LinkedIn Ad Library

What it is.

Search any company and you see the claims a competitor pays to make, plus how long they kept making them. No LinkedIn account is needed to look.

It holds ads that ran after June 1, 2023, and each one stays for one year after its last impression. Watch which creative survives past a first flight, because an ad still running in month eight has been through a performance review.

What you get.

  • Competitor creative and copy, searchable by company, payer name, keyword, plus country.
  • A year of history after an ad's last impression, so you see what survived and what got pulled.
  • Impression ranges on European Union ads, which hint at the scale of the spend.
  • Tested language you can lift into page titles, since paid copy has been through the numbers.
HOW TO USE IT

How to set it up.

1

Open the Ad Library and search the competitor's company name, not their product name.

2

Filter by country to separate a global brand campaign from a local demand campaign.

3

Sort what you find by date to see which creative survived past a first flight.

4

Use the More filters on European Union ads to read impression ranges, which hint at spend.

5

Save the ads that keep reappearing month after month, because nobody keeps paying for a loser.

Use cases

What survived

Check who is paying

Look up the payer when the brand on the creative is not the advertiser.

Best for

Competitive message research

Read the exact words a competitor pays to put in front of your buyers, in their own creative.

Briefing new ad creative

Ten competitor ads in a deck is a faster brief than any positioning document, and it costs nothing.

Checking a claim about spend

Impression ranges on European Union ads give a rough sense of scale when someone says a competitor is everywhere.

Questions about Paid Media

What can you learn from a competitor's ads?
Are ad libraries useful for organic teams?
Before you start
  • The competitor's company name as it appears on LinkedIn.
  • A view on which country's campaigns you want to read.
Strengths
  • Public and free with no login, so anyone on the team can open it.
  • Ads remain for one year after their last impression, which makes the record long enough to see a pattern.
  • Impression range and targeting filters on European Union ads add detail most ad libraries lack.
Limitations
  • Coverage starts with ads that ran after June 1, 2023, so older campaigns are absent.
  • Impression ranges and targeting filters only apply to ads aimed at the European Union.
  • There is no spend figure, so treat frequency and duration as your only signal of investment.
Skip this if
  • Your buyers are nowhere near LinkedIn, so the ads you find will be aimed at somebody else.
Ideal for
  • Paid social managers
  • Product marketers
  • Competitive researchers
