How Doe tracks competitor ad activity
Pulled ad activity for 5 tracked competitors across LinkedIn, Google, and Meta over the past 7 days. Competitor A launched 4 new LinkedIn creatives targeting "VP Engineering" (your core persona). Competitor B increased estimated Google Ads spend by 35% on "ai automation" keywords. Competitor C paused all Meta campaigns (down from $12K/week estimated spend).
Your branded search traffic is flat. Non-branded organic traffic on "ai automation" pages dropped 8% week over week, correlating with Competitor B's spend increase. LinkedIn referral traffic is unchanged despite Competitor A's new campaign.
2 items needing attention: Competitor B's spend increase on your keywords (review Google Ads bids on 3 specific campaigns), and Competitor A's new LinkedIn creatives (ad copy and positioning shared for team review). Competitor C's Meta pause noted as informational. Running competitive brief updated with creative screenshots and spend trends.
You find out competitors changed strategy months too late
Your main competitor doubled their Google Ads spend on your highest-value keyword three months ago. You found out when your cost per click jumped 40% and your branded search volume dipped. By then they'd captured the position and you're paying a premium to compete.
A new competitor launched LinkedIn ads targeting your exact ICP with a free-trial offer. Your sales team started hearing "we're also looking at [competitor]" in calls. But the marketing team only found the ads when someone on Twitter shared a screenshot. There was no system watching.

Competitor Ad Intelligence FAQ
Adyntel uses impression sampling, ad placement frequency, and platform-specific signals to estimate spend ranges. The estimates are directional (useful for spotting increases and decreases) rather than exact dollar figures. Most teams care about trends and relative changes, which Adyntel captures well.
