Accessing the Ad Library
First, go to TikTok ad library at ads.tiktok.com/creative-center. This provides access to a searchable database of ads.
You can apply filters like country, ad objective, and duration to customize the results. Want Danish lead gen ads? No problem.
Viewing Lead Gen Ads
Searching by the Lead Generation objective displays relevant ads. For example, a recruiter ad encouraged users to provide their details in an instant form after watching.
This illustrates how effective lead gen ads entice clicks to drive conversions via opt-ins. You can model this creative approach.
Analyzing Conversion Ads
Sorting by the Conversion objective surfaces ads optimized for purchases. The engagement metrics help determine an ad’s success.
For example, 8K likes, 39 comments, and 31 shares likely indicates a winning creative driving sales. Look for strong calls-to-action.
Evaluating App Install Ads
An app install ad for DoorDash showed a user explaining how easy it is to earn money delivering with DoorDash.
The 149K likes prove the brand is spending heavily behind this creative. This makes it worth analyzing and potentially replicating.

The ad library uncovers winning product creatives and hot merchandise you could potentially duplicate.
