01 · what a readout answers

Three findings, before you launch.

Not "here are 100 ads, good luck." A readout that tells you what to do Monday.

01
What do I test?

Ranked angles with proof

Recommendations scored by longevity × testing intensity, one per advertiser, each with proof — days running, variant count, how many advertisers prove the angle — and a risk note. Off-topic and adjacent-local ads are filtered out, not just listed.

02
What funnel & price?

Market intel

Price points and offers seen across the niche, funnel types — product page, quiz, app install, lead-gen — winning formats and video lengths. Anchor your offer to what already converts.

03
When do I move?

Freshness & tracking

Is money entering the niche right now? A freshness pulse, "who is scaling" trends, and auto-rescan alerts when new ads appear or a competitor ramps up creative testing.

02 · field procedure

Four clicks.

The instrument reads what Meta already sends to your browser — no scraping tricks, no extra requests.

step 01

Search a niche

Open Meta Ad Library, type a keyword or brand.

step 02

Scan

Auto-scroll gathers every ad with exact dates, landings and creatives.

step 03

Read the readout

Top angles, who's testing, what to avoid — Markdown or a styled report.

step 04

Track it

Re-run later; alerts flag what changed, the dashboard tracks every niche.

03 · readouts · real niches

Readouts, not brochures.

Generated by AdRecon from live Ad Library data. Open them — this is exactly what you get.

04 · capability matrix

Built for the buyer, not the agency.

Foreplay, Swipekit and Denote are creative-OS platforms for teams. AdRecon is a decision instrument for the solo buyer who runs his own money.

07 · before you install

The questions a buyer actually asks.

Will this flag my ad account?

No. AdRecon reads the public Ad Library page you're already looking at. It never connects to your ad manager, your Facebook login, or any account — there's nothing for Meta to flag.

Is my research private?

Completely. Everything stays in your browser via chrome.storage — no server, no account, nothing uploaded. Cloud spy tools can't say that; seeing your niches is their business model.

How is it different from Foreplay or Swipekit?

They're creative-OS platforms for teams that store ads. AdRecon is a decision instrument for the solo buyer: it ranks what to test and why, filters the noise, and is local and free to start.

Does longevity mean profit?

It's a proxy, not a promise. An advertiser who keeps an ad running for months — and still tests variants on it — probably isn't losing money. AdRecon labels the strength of every signal instead of pretending.

Run it on your next niche.
