These numbers describe what the ad library tracks: 2,331 running ads from businesses found by industry searches. They aren’t a share of every ad in the industry.

How we count, and what we can’t see

What we count

Ads running on the date shown, from US and Canadian businesses we found by industry searches, on Meta and Google. Each ad counts under its own industry, so a plumbing company’s AC ad counts as HVAC. Business numbers count only businesses whose ads we’ve all read in the last 30 days, one vote each. Ad numbers need 100 running ads; business numbers need 30 such businesses.

Three kinds of numbers

Platform data comes from Meta and Google as-is: where ads send people, platform, format, placements, buttons and run time. AI-read numbers come from our AI checking each ad design for a price, an offer or a guarantee, published once spot-checks are 90% right. AI judgments like style or tone are shown as rankings only.

What we can’t see

These are shares of ads, not of spend. Meta and Google don’t publish spend, reach, impressions, clicks, leads or audience age and gender for US and Canadian ads, and ads don’t say which city they target.
