What is Get Meta Ads Using Search Terms Action?
Get Meta Ads Using Search Terms is a research action that searches Meta's Ad Library by keywords or topics to discover active ads across all advertisers. Unlike the Page ID version which focuses on a single company, this action searches broadly across the entire Meta ad ecosystem. It is ideal for discovering who is advertising on specific topics, what messaging they use, and how crowded a particular ad category is.
The action returns structured data for matching ads including the advertiser name, ad copy, creative content, platform, and start date. Growth and marketing teams can use keyword-based ad search to scope out the competitive landscape before launching campaigns, discover emerging competitors they did not know were advertising, and analyze the overall messaging landscape for specific product categories or pain points.
This action uses waterfall enrichment to query multiple premium data providers in sequence, delivering higher match rates than single-source alternatives. Learn more about how waterfall enrichment works.
