The problem this solves
Sound familiar? Here is how RivalSweeper changes each scenario.
A rival's ad keeps running after the product sells out. Shoppers click, find nothing to buy, and leave. That demand was up for grabs and you never knew.
RivalSweeper flags rival ads that land on a sold-out product, an error page or an ended offer, with the product and the date we checked. Put your ads and offers on the same products while theirs are dead.
A competitor's "this weekend only" sale ended, but their ads still promise it. Shoppers arrive expecting a deal that is gone.
We read the end date printed in the ad or on the homepage banner and flag offers that are over. That is your window to run the offer they can no longer honor.
Your own product page gets removed, and the ad pointing to it keeps spending on clicks that land nowhere.
Your ads get the same checks. Problems land in your to-do list as high-priority fixes, before the budget runs out on them.
How it works
Add your competitors
Enter their URLs. We read their live ads from public ad libraries. No ad account to connect.
We follow every click
Each live ad is followed through redirects to the page a shopper actually sees, then checked: does it load, is the product in stock, is the offer still on.
You see their dead ads
Rival ads that leak shoppers show up with the evidence: ad link, landing page, check result and date.
Act while it lasts
Push your ads and offers on the same products or category, and fix any of your own ads that fail the same checks.
The features behind it
Why RivalSweeper for this
- Both sides: the shoppers your rivals' ads lose, and the budget your own ads waste
- Every finding carries its evidence: public ad link, landing page, check result and date
- Honest about blocked sites: a page we could not see is marked not verifiable, never broken
- No ad-account connection and nothing to install
Frequently asked questions
How do I find out when a competitor's ad leads to a dead page?
RivalSweeper follows each live ad of every rival you monitor to its real landing page and checks whether the page works, whether the product is in stock and whether the offer has ended. Rival ads that fail show up with the evidence. Landing-page checks currently cover Meta ads.
What can I do with a rival's broken ad?
Their shoppers are clicking and finding nothing to buy. Run your own ads and offers on the same products or category while their ad is dead, and skip matching an offer they have already ended.
Does it check my own ads too?
Yes. Your ads get the same checks, and problems land in your to-do list as high-priority fixes.
Do I need to connect my ad account?
No. RivalSweeper reads public ad libraries and public pages. Nothing connects to your ad account, and nothing changes on your side.
