Read discription about why competitor analysis is a non-negotiable

Here’s why competitor analysis is a non-negotiable part of my Meta Ads strategy (and should be yours too):
1. You Discover What’s ALREADY Working (Without the Trial & Error)

Competitors are spending thousands on testing. Why reinvent the wheel?

Study their top-performing creatives, hooks, and offers—then adapt them for your brand.

Example: If 3 beauty brands use “Get Glowing Skin in 7 Days” in their ads, that’s a proven angle.

2. You Spot Gaps They’re Missing (Hello, Opportunity!)

Maybe they’re not retargeting enough. Or their landing page has weak CTAs.

Example: If competitors ignore UGC (user-generated content), you can dominate with customer testimonials.

3. You Learn Their Audience Targeting (And Steal Their Customers)

Use Facebook Ad Library to see:

Who they’re targeting (interests, lookalikes).

What angles they use (discounts, pain points, testimonials).

Example: If a competitor targets “women 35+ with dry skin”, test similar audiences.

4. You Avoid Their Mistakes (Save $$$ on Failed Tests)

See which ads disappeared quickly (likely poor performers).

Example: If a competitor ran a “Buy 1, Get 1” ad for a week then stopped, it probably didn’t convert.

5. You Stay Ahead of Trends (Before They Go Saturated)

Notice a competitor testing Reels ads or a new offer? Jump on it before everyone else does.

Example: If a skincare brand starts pushing “clean beauty”, it’s a sign of rising demand.

How I Do Competitor Analysis (5-Minute Hack)

SEMrush/Ahrefs – Check their traffic sources & top keywords.

Manual Engagement – Engage with their posts to get targeted by their ads.

Final Thought

Competitor analysis isn’t about copying—it’s about learning, adapting, and outsmarting.

The best marketers don’t guess… they spy, analyze, and dominate. ????
