If you're a Digital Marketer who is curious about who is advertising on Google Ads, you'll be happy to know that Google now offers that information through the Google Ads Transparency Center. Launched in March this year, the Google Ads Transparency Center provides a searchable database of all advertisements and advertisers across Google Search, Google Display Network, and Youtube.
This is a great resource for advertisers to use as a competitor research tool to find out who your competitors are and what ads they are running in any region and time period you're interested in. With this information, you can find inspiration and come up with more creative and competitive ad visuals and copy. This quick and easy guide will show you how to check who is advertising on Google Ads through the Google Ads Transparency Center!
