help SEMrush Advertising Research FAQ
Can Semrush Advertising Research show a competitor's actual Google Ads budget?
No. Semrush estimates paid-search traffic and cost from observed keywords, positions, and its own clickstream and pricing data; it does not have access to a competitor's Google Ads billing account.
How do I find a competitor's old search ads in Semrush?
Enter the competitor's domain in Advertising Research and open its ad-copy or ads-history reports. The available history depends on the selected database and subscription, but it can reveal previously observed headlines, descriptions, keywords, and landing pages.
Why does Semrush show no paid keywords for a competitor that is advertising?
The campaign may target a small region, use low-volume terms, run only briefly, or rely on formats outside the report's sampled search results. Checking the correct country database and comparing several months can expose coverage that a single current snapshot misses.
Does Advertising Research cover Meta or LinkedIn ads?
Its core domain reports focus on paid search advertising, especially Google search results, rather than providing a complete account-level view of Meta campaigns. Semrush has separate advertising and social tools, but Advertising Research should not be treated as a universal archive of every ad platform.
