The SEA tool for analyzing the competition

Monitor and evaluate your competitors' Google Ads campaigns with detailed SEM analysis covering ads, spending, ad copy, and landing pages. Discover which keywords they are targeting and assess the success of their campaigns to refine your strategy.

What does the SEA tool from XOVI do for you?

You rarely get a real insight into the Google Ads activities of your competitors. With the SEA Tool, you can carry out a comprehensive ad analysis. You will receive information about the estimated expenses, keywords used, titles, URLs and ads of your competitors. It is therefore ideal for taking a close look at the SEA strategies of your competitors and for getting ideas for your own ad strategy.

The XOVI AdWords Tools are ideal for analyzing your competitors’ ads.

You can find out:

  • how the ads are structured
  • which ads (titles and texts) are particularly successful
  • whether discounts or other promotions are being carried out
  • how large the relative budget is
  • how many and which keywords (you and) your competitor are using

The analysis of the ads will tell you, for example:

  • how they are linguistically structured

  • whether special characters and emojis are used
  • whether there are discounts or other promotions

With the XOVI AdWords Tools, you can identify your competitors’ most frequently used landing pages. Analyze their structure, both linguistically and content-wise. The XOVI Google AdWords Tool simplifies this process by providing a convenient list of the most commonly used URLs.

That’s not enough for you? You will also receive a full list of all URLs that the domain has used for ads in the selected period.
