Adligator Academy
Short, focused guides that turn Adligator into your unfair advantage. From your first search to running Trackers on your top competitors — every screen explained.
Getting started
Orient yourself in Adligator and run your first competitor search.
Your first search in 60 seconds
The exact 4-click path to pull a competitor’s ads — plus the signals you read on every card.
How Adligator is organised, in plain English
A 4-minute map of the app — three places in the sidebar, a handful of tabs inside them, and which one you should be in right now.
Reading a creative card, signal by signal
Five things sit on an Adligator card, and everything else is one click away. This is the order you should read them in.
The Adligator glossary
A scannable A-to-Z of every term you'll see in the app, the filter menu, or the Analytics dashboard.
How to…
Task-driven recipes — open one when you have a specific job to do.
Spy on any brand’s Facebook ads in 4 clicks
The Adligator workflow that replaces an hour in Meta Ad Library with one search and one filter.
Filter Facebook ads by country, the right way
GEO + To: the two-filter combo that strips a global grid down to country-specific winners in one search.
Find a brand's long-running winners
The single most useful sort change in Adligator — plus the Days active filter combo that strips the grid down to proven winners only.
Find Facebook ads by creative format
Use the Media format filter to surface only video, carousel, DCO or image ads — the format you're actually about to brief.
Build a swipe file the right way
A 4-step Collections workflow that turns one-off ad finds into a reusable reference library your design team will actually open.
Compare two competitors side-by-side
Two Trackers, two Analytics tabs, one read. The fastest way to see the strategic difference between two brands.
Finding the right keywords to search
The keyword is not the topic. Search "meet singles" not "Dating"; "Plinko" not "iGaming". A method, a ChatGPT prompt, and a per-vertical cheat sheet.
Drive Adligator from an AI agent
Point Claude (or any MCP client) at the Adligator MCP and add the adligator-ad-research Skill so it searches the Ad Library like a media buyer.
Feature deep dives
One page per hero feature, with the exact screens and use cases.
Trackers — competitor surveillance on autopilot
Point a Tracker at an advertiser once. Adligator keeps pulling their new ads, and unlocks the Analytics and Partnerships dashboards for that brand.
The Analytics dashboard — the hero feature of Adligator
One screen that turns a brand's ad library into launch cadence, proven copy, format mix and country distribution.
Collections — saved ads, organized, shareable
The folder system behind every saved ad. Save once, browse later, share by link or export to CSV, never lose to Meta cleanup.
The Pages tab — advertisers, not ads
Every Facebook page Adligator has indexed, with lifetime ad counts. The shortest path from "I think this brand advertises" to "here is what they actually run".
Every Adligator filter, explained
A complete reference for the eleven filters behind the Add filter button, plus the date range and sort that live in the toolbar.
