Editorial guides

Practical next steps.

Move from understanding native ads to preparing your own campaign.

Make the research useful

Leave with your next idea.

Record what you observed, then decide what to test. This brief works with a spy tool or your own manual research.

Try one research question before adding software

Start with the offer you want to promote and one intended market. A useful question is specific: “How do home brands explain the benefit before asking for a purchase?” It gives you something to look for beyond a collection of attractive images.

  1. Choose a source. Inspect a relevant publisher's sponsored recommendations or use the chosen tool's network and market filters.
  2. Record the observation. Save the source page, observation date, headline and image idea in your notes.
  3. Follow the destination. Note the page's opening, evidence, offer and next action. Look for continuity between the ad and the page.
  4. Form one hypothesis. Decide what message or page structure you will change for your own offer and which conversion will measure it.

Use the form below to turn that work into a file. If collecting and revisiting these notes becomes a weekly task, compare the search, saving and export workflow that would shorten it.

Works in your browser. No email or account needed.

Manual research or a paid tool?

For an occasional idea, inspect sponsored recommendations on relevant publishers and record the page, date, message and destination. For repeated searches across networks, markets and advertisers, a spy database gives you a more structured starting point.

Observe first. Test your own result.

Ad age and repeated appearances are useful research signals. Use your own conversion tracking and campaign economics to judge a new idea's performance. The brief connects an observation to a measurable hypothesis.

A clear starting point

Native ads, networks and spy tools

Native ads are paid placements designed to fit the surrounding content. A network such as Taboola connects advertisers with publisher inventory. A spy tool helps you research ads and their destinations before planning your own creative.

Choose the network to reach your audience, then choose research software for the questions you need to answer. You can run campaigns without buying a spy subscription.

Can I research native ads for free?

You can inspect sponsored recommendations and their destinations manually. Start with a publisher, market and observation date, then save your findings in the brief above. A paid database adds search, history and organization.

Which tools cover Taboola and Outbrain?

Anstrex Native, AdPlexity Native, Adbeat and SpyOver name Taboola and Outbrain in their official coverage. PowerAdSpy includes Native in Platinum; check the intended network against its niche coverage before choosing it.

What should I compare before buying?

Compare the exact Native plan, relevant network, search workflow, landing-page features and cost. Use our Native review for a detailed AdPlexity buying decision.

Should I choose an annual plan for my first project?

Compare the full annual bill with how often you expect to research: AdPlexity Native is $2,490/year, Adbeat Standard is $2,400/year and PowerAdSpy Platinum is $1,004/year. Monthly billing gives you a shorter first commitment. The annual monthly equivalents are not monthly charges.

Does a Native subscription include Facebook and Instagram research?

PowerAdSpy Platinum includes Facebook and Instagram alongside Native and its other listed platforms. AdPlexity Social is separate from AdPlexity Native. Choose by the networks and product line included in your plan.
