The LinkedIn Ad Library exists, and it's free and public at linkedin.com/ad-library. It shows every active ad a LinkedIn Page is running, along with the ad's start date and format. Anyone can search it; you don't need a LinkedIn ad account to use it.

What You Can See in the LinkedIn Ad Library

You can see the ad creative and copy, which format it uses, which Page is running it, and when it started running. Formats you'll come across include standard Sponsored Content, Document Ads, and message-based ads.

What You Can't See in the LinkedIn Ad Library

You cannot see targeting, budget, or performance data in the Ad Library. That information stays private to the advertiser and never appears publicly, no matter how long you search or which filters you apply. Anyone claiming to show exact ad spend from the library alone is estimating, not reporting an actual number LinkedIn discloses.

How to Search the Ad Library

Go to linkedin.com/ad-library and search by company or Page name to see everything a specific advertiser is running. Search by keyword instead to find ads across LinkedIn matching that term, and filter results by date range and country.

How to Read an Ad's Run Time as a Signal

An ad still running after several weeks is usually still running because it's working. Advertisers cut underperforming ads quickly to control spend, so the ads that stay live the longest are the closest thing to a public signal of what's converting for a competitor, without needing access to their actual performance data.

Why It's Useful for B2B SaaS

Use the Ad Library to see which formats, offers, and messaging a competitor is committing budget to right now, not just what they've posted once. A competitor running the same Sponsored Content ad for two months is telling you more about what works for their audience than a single post from six months ago ever would.

Common Questions About LinkedIn Ad Library

Is there a LinkedIn ad library? 

Yes. It's free and public at linkedin.com/ad-library, and it doesn't require a LinkedIn ad account to search.

How do you access the LinkedIn Ad Library? 

Go to linkedin.com/ad-library directly; no login or ad account is required to search it.

What can you see in the LinkedIn Ad Library? 

The ad's creative, copy, format, which Page is running it, and when it started running.

What can't you see in the LinkedIn ad library?

Targeting, budget, and performance metrics like clicks or conversions. The library shows the ad and basic metadata only, never how well it's performing.

Does the LinkedIn Ad Library show ad spend or budget? 

No. LinkedIn does not disclose spend or budget for any ad in the library, on any account, for any region.

How do you research a competitor's LinkedIn ad strategy using it? 

Search their company name, note which formats and offers keep reappearing over time, and pay attention to which ads have run the longest. That's the closest public signal to what's actually converting for them.

How fast can I expect results?

Most clients see performance stabilize by month three. Google Ads isn’t a slot machine—it takes time to compound.

Do you require long-term contracts?

No. We work month-to-month. All we ask is that you give us three months to prove the results.

Do you only run Google Ads?

While Google Ads is our entry point, we also support LinkedIn Ads, Reddit, and X campaigns when needed.

What’s included in your CRO audit, and what’s expected from our side?

The CRO audit covers your landing pages, CTAs, forms, and overall user flow. We’ll flag what’s holding back conversions and recommend fixes. If changes require design or dev resources, we’ll hand over clear action steps for your team, so you know exactly what to adjust.

How do you work with internal teams?

We integrate directly. Whether it’s syncing with your PMM on messaging, your design team on creative assets, or RevOps on tracking, we plug into existing workflows so we’re aligned and moving fast.

How do you handle Google rep recommendations that don’t fit our goals?

As an ex-Googler, I know which recommendations are useful, and which are just there to hit Google’s internal targets. We’ll filter their advice for you, implementing only what actually helps us hit revenue goals.

What changes in your approach to ads in B2B vs. B2C?

For B2B, I focus on lead quality, longer sales cycles, and nurturing conversions across the funnel. For B2C, speed and volume matter more, so I optimize for quick wins and scalable growth. Either way, the playbook adapts to your model.

What do your weekly reports include, and how do you define “good” vs. “scalable”?

Weekly reports show spend, conversions, CPL/CPA, and how we’re tracking against projections. “Good” means campaigns are meeting efficiency targets. “Scalable” means we can push budget and expect the same or better efficiency without breaking ROI.
