❓ FAQ

1. Why do I need Residential Proxies?

Google aggressively blocks data center IPs (like standard AWS/Google Cloud IPs). To ensure you get results and don't get blocked, Residential Proxies are essential. They mimic real user traffic.

2. Can I search by keyword?

Currently, this scraper is optimized for Domain Intelligence (finding ads by a specific advertiser). Keyword search is on our roadmap!

3. Does it scrape historical data?

The Google Ads Transparency Center shows currently active ads and some recently inactive ones. We scrape what is currently visible in the transparency center for the selected region.

4. How fast is the OCR?

Our optimized OCR engine adds only ~2-3 seconds per ad. It allows you to search and analyze text that is otherwise "trapped" inside images.

🛠 Troubleshooting

• 0 Results?:
  • Check if the domain is correct (e.g., use nike.com, not https://nike.com).
  • Try a different region. Some advertisers only run ads in specific countries.
  • Ensure you are using Residential Proxies.
• Timeout?:
  • Reduce maxResults or increase the timeout setting in Apify if you are scraping a massive advertiser.
