Hey Baldovin, Thanks for reaching out! Currently, you can build an initial list for this with the Ocean.io lookalike search. This allows you use to run a search based on a company domain that meets your search criteria and you can additional search parameters, such as company size, description keywords and technology (see screenshot below). With the technology filter you can select "Google Ads", which typically indicates that a company runs Google Ads. Ocean.io Docs: https://docs.clay.com/en/articles/9672481-find-lookalike-companies-with-ocean-io-with-ocean-io If you'd like to check an existing list for companies running Google ads and filter your list based on the results, you can use the Builtwith Integration to see if they have any of these technology keywords for Google ads: ttps://builtwith.com/?google+adsense. Here's a quick guide for using the tech stack enrichment: https://www.clay.com/university/lesson/find-company-tech-stack Let me know if this helps. https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/1194730393/ec3085cc7b6f94906e022f20/CleanShot+2024-09-26+at+19_57_22%402x.png?expires=1727379000&signature=0104b01e34235a292912b346ba9f055daa479b716e5b85a3e43630e5a7a8f207&req=dSEuEs59nYJWWvMW1HO4zQfNtyDy%2BAqwhzglJzfpIbri4Sdz47JwzG%2BLuyMz%0A94%2F4%0A

Hey Daniela D., thanks for the info! i tried with builtwith before and it's not worth it since it burns through credits very fast and i don't get great results to be honest

Hey Baldovin! Thanks for the reply. Totally understand. I made a quick video sharing a potential workaround with Claygent: https://www.loom.com/share/a436353a0c5e4df6b63c64da626f09ca This is the formula input: "https://adstransparency.google.com/?region=anywhere&domain=" + {{Company Domain}} Draft prompt: "Visit {{Google Ads Transparency url}} and check if the word `"verified" appears. This indicates that ads are being run. Say yes or no, nothing else." Let me know if this helps.

No stress. we use a different process for clients.
programmatically generate the G.ads link
send a screenshot tool to take a screenshot of the page (because it loads slowly and throws off bots like Claygent & Zenrows)
Ask chatgpt to analyzr the image to tell if they're running ads or not (if they're running, chatgpt can also criticize or add value to their copy/creative)
Lmk if this helps
