Using Clay to Discover Companies Running Google Ads
Heyo! does anyone know how to use clay to find companies that are running google ads?
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
Alex B.··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.
Alex B. did you solve this?
Hey there - just wanted to check in here to see if you needed anything else! Feel free to reply back here if you do.

Hey Nnabuike O., still waiting for Hans D. loom video
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
Thanks! We've reopened this thread. You can continue to add more detail directly in this thread.

I don’t really understand how you “programmaticaly generate the google ads link”
We haven't heard back from you in a bit, so we're going to go ahead and close things out here - feel free to let us know if you still need something!
Thanks! We've reopened this thread. You can continue to add more detail directly in this thread.
