What it does
Copying a competitor's best ad puts you in the most crowded spot in the category. The useful move is to find what nobody says and say it first. This workflow files the ads you saved by the question each one answers, then counts how many brands use each type. It reads your customers' wants and doubts for ones no ad speaks to. It writes copy for each gap, using only proof you hold. A Meta rules check ends the run, and any line that would be rejected is rewritten.
You give it
- Competitor ads you saved from the public Ad Library, with library ID, brand, start date and screenshot
- Your brand file (optional)
- The competitors that matter to you (optional)
- Your customer reviews (optional)

You get
