We run our Google Ads Advertiser Checker on Apify against the Google Ads Transparency Center. This takes 10 to 40 seconds.

FAQ
- Is this Google Ads checker free?
- Yes. Each visitor gets 5 free lookups a day, with no signup. Each lookup checks up to 3 companies. A lookup that someone ran in the last 24 hours comes back from our cache and does not use one of your 5.
- Should I enter a domain or a company name?
- A domain gives the most exact result. For a name, the checker looks for the company on its own website first, so brands like Notion or Allbirds come back as the right advertiser. Short or common names can still match another company, and the result then says so.
- Where does the data come from?
- From the public Google Ads Transparency Center, where Google lists the ads each advertiser runs.
- What does the ad count range mean?
- It is Google's own estimate of how many ads the advertiser has, shown as a low and a high number rather than an exact count.
- Why does it say no ads for a company I know advertises?
- A country filter only counts ads shown in that country, so try anywhere. The ads may also point to a different domain than the one you typed, so try the main website.
- What does "No ads from the brand" mean?
- Ads point to the website, but none comes from an advertiser whose name matches it. Resellers, affiliates and unrelated accounts can run ads that use a brand's website, so the checker does not name one of them as the brand. The brand itself may not be advertising there right now.
