Why should you use Advertising Research reports?
By gathering intelligence on your competitors’ advertising strategies, you can determine where their strengths and weaknesses are and where you can pull ahead of them.
Identify the keywords where you competitors are gaining or losing positions, and see real examples of the ads they ran throughout the year. This data gives you an inside look at your competitor’s strategy, allowing you to position your own campaign to target their weak spots or certain keywords that they aren’t even targeting.
Without proper research, planning a cost effective campaign is a challenge. By using these reports, you can gather an understanding of the opportunities available to you in your market.
After you’ve gathered your research, you can set up a project with the PPC Keyword Tool and Ad Builder to plan your campaign and write your ads.
Alerts
When you don’t get results in the tool, it means that the tool couldn’t find the ads run by this domain on a national level.
However, you can set up Alerts in case your competitor starts advertising in this country (on a national level) and SEMrush sees the ads.
After setting up Alerts, you will get an email when the tool finds this domain’s ads at the national level in the indicated country. This means you won't have to periodically check the domain in SEMrush to see if they started advertising in a new region.
Just click "Notify Me" to get data and a link to the report by email when the tool finds any ads from that domain in the chosen country on SERPs.
