https://AdSentence.io is a spy tool gives you all of the data you need to understand your competitors’ Adwords strategy. Our unique analysis tool lets you see how your competitors are advertising to any local market in the world (and every US market) so you can beat them at their own game. Now you have the data to compete and win your local Adwords market.



Site isn't loading for me. What makes this better than all the tools that are currently in the market? Where do you get your data from?


Thanks for noticing it, it was down for 45 min.

There are not many services that offer same service that we do. advantages: 1. You can show ads in more than 98,000 markets in Adwords, 55000 in US alone. No one can have all of the data for all of the markets, if they are scrapping they are getting the result for where their servers are, not where your market is. for example if you are a flower shop in NY, you don't care what ads are showing in SF. We don't have much data already, but we start collecting it for you once you give us a keyword and location.

2. We are showing all the copies of all the ads showing for any keyword/location not seen that anywhere else.

there are more, check out our sample report and you can see what kind of data we provide. Or you can create login with any google account(free trial, no credit card needed!) and put in some keyword/location and see for yourself.

We scrap the data every hour.


Did have one thought: maybe see if you can compare landing pages - can you find out if they have an A/B test running - multiple landing pages, what parameters and tracking do they do?


that is very interesting idea, I definitely can have their landing pages and already has their URLs, but how to show that data? A different image for each hour? I can show unique landing pages so you can look at detect if they are doing A/B testing or not. Tracking might be doable too, but again problem is data presentation. Do you mean url parameters? I already have that data, how to present it?

I agree with you that price is the most important data, but as you said I don't think there is a reliable way of getting that!

How useful you find this service as is?


Looks like the main focus is on ad copy - while somewhat useful the golden ticket we all want is knowing their bids. Ranking by hour is somewhat helpful to know what modifiers they have but doesn't help that much.

In reality we want bids, negatives, etc. Not to mention it's impossible to know what audiences they are using, their remarketing strategy etc.

None of that is realistic though :P
