Every ad, classified1 dot = 1 live ad

Opportunity: tracked brands use 2.8× more contrarian hooks.

Before you make another ad, you have to choose.

You have one budget and dozens of plausible ideas. Should the next ad look like a customer video or a polished product demo? Lead with the problem or the outcome? Likely shows which choice adds something your brand is currently missing.

UGC or product demo? One needs a creator and three weeks. One needs an afternoon.
Problem angle or aspiration? Two completely different arguments about the same product.
Founder hook or customer story? Both plausible. Only one matches how your category opens.
Top of funnel or bottom? Same ad, and the wrong audience makes it wasted spend.

Your budget forces you to pick a handful. Most teams pick from experience, instinct and whatever they scrolled past last week. Likely adds the market to that decision.

Likely does not just save ads. It reads what each ad is doing.

Here are real public Meta ads from a live supplement-market audit. First Likely identifies how the ad is made. Then it identifies the strategy behind it. That is how a folder of competitor ads becomes a useful market report.

See what they made.

Likely recognises the production choices: creator or brand-made, female or male presenter, static or video. Now you can see which formats competitors repeatedly invest in—and which ones your brand barely uses.

See the pattern across every ad.

One ad is an example. Every ad on one plot becomes market intelligence. Switch between hook, awareness, funnel stage and format to see what competitors keep running—and where your base brand is missing.

Opportunity: tracked brands run contrarian hooks; your base brand barely does.

The signal nobody else uses

Do not just see what runs. See what keeps running.

Likely cannot see your competitors' ROAS, and neither can anyone outside their ad account. But it can see what they launch, what disappears, and what they keep paying to run — which turns a snapshot of their ads into a timeline of their decisions.

Every ad, by how long it has run hover a dot

One dot is one ad. High up means it has run a long time. Nobody keeps paying for a loser for four months, so an ad that survives is the closest thing to a performance signal public data gives you.

Why not just use the Ad Library

An ad library shows you ads. Likely reads the market behind them.

The Meta Ad Library is free, public and genuinely useful. It is also a feed. Scrolling it tells you what exists; it cannot tell you what share of anything you are looking at.

Nothing to connect
