Why Choose This Actor Over Other Google Ads Scrapers?

Feature	Our Actor (mamang_warkop)	Typical Ads Transparency Scrapers
Primary Brand Advertiser Resolution	Smart Volume & Domain Matching: Matches the true primary brand advertiser (shopify.com → Shopify Inc., 70,000+ ads) instead of random third-party resellers.	Often returns the first small merchant or affiliate mentioning the domain (Life and Fork Pty Ltd).
3-in-1 Modes Included	ads + check_domains + summary in a single Actor.	Requires paying for 2–3 separate Actors.
B2B Ad-Spend Tier & Sales Pitch Angle	Automatically classifies adSpendTier (Enterprise, Growth, Active, Testing, None) + generates agencyPitchAngle for cold outreach.	Raw numbers only.
Dynamic Placeholder Cleanup	Automatically cleans {KeyWord:Running Shoes} into clean human-readable copy (Running Shoes).	Raw unparsed Google internal syntax.
Flexible Input Parsing	Accepts domains (nike.com), full URLs (https://www.nike.com/running), brand names (Nike), AR IDs (AR1837...), or Transparency URLs.	Breaks if you paste a full URL or brand name.
Speed & Compute Cost	Pure HTTP RPC — finishes in seconds using minimal Apify memory (512 MB).	Heavy Playwright/Puppeteer browsers that eat up your compute credits.

Step-by-Step Usage Guide (Panduan Penggunaan)

Option A: Run Directly in Apify Console (No Coding Required)

1. Enter Target Queries (queries): Type or paste one or more company domains (nike.com, shopify.com), brand names (Stripe), or Google Advertiser IDs (AR09026146787696115713).
2. Select Mode (mode):
   • Choose Extract Ad Creatives (ads) if you want every individual ad's headline, description, landing page URL, image link, and video URL.
   • Choose Bulk Check Domains for Active Google Ads (check_domains) if you have a list of B2B lead domains (from Apollo, Clay, or Google Maps) and want to know which companies are actively spending money on Google Ads.
   • Choose Advertiser Strategy Summary (summary) for a high-level breakdown of ad formats (text vs image vs video) and top destination domains.
3. Choose Region (region): Leave as "anywhere" for global ad activity, or enter a 2-letter ISO country code ("US", "GB", "DE", "AU", "CA", "ID", "SG", "BR", etc.).
4. Click Start at the bottom, then download your results in Excel, CSV, or JSON from the Storage / Dataset tab.
