What format should the CSV be?

Plain CSV, one domain per row, up to 100 domains. A header row is optional — if you have one, name the column something like domain, website, or url. Bare URLs (e.g. https://nike.com/men) are fine; we'll strip them to the bare domain.

What counts as "running ads"?

Any active ad creative in Google's official Ads Transparency Center that points to the domain — across Search, Display, and YouTube. The count is Google's own approximation, not exact spend.

Seeing the ads is the easy part. Whether that spend turns into booked revenue depends on the structure behind it — tracking, follow-up, and a sales process that actually closes the leads ads generate. That's what STAOS installs.

01  How it works

A hundred domains, one CSV, one email.

Google's Ads Transparency Center will tell you whether a company is running ads — one company at a time. This does the same lookup across a whole list and sends the answer back as a file you can sort.

Step 01
Upload the list

A CSV with one domain per row, up to 100. A header row is optional. Bare URLs are fine — https://nike.com/men is stripped back to the domain before the lookup runs.

Step 02
Pick your region and leave an email

Ad activity is reported per region, so choose the market you care about. The email is where the results file goes; the check runs in the background rather than making you sit on the page.

Step 03
Read the CSV

You get who is running ads, roughly how many are live, and which advertiser accounts sit behind them — enough to sort a prospect list by whoever is already spending, or to see what a competitor set is doing at a glance.

02  Questions

What the check can and cannot tell you.

Because spend is the cleanest buying signal available before you have spoken to anyone. A company running paid traffic has a budget, has already decided that acquisition matters, and has someone internally being measured on the result. That is a materially warmer call than a company that merely looks like it fits your profile on paper.

Ad activity is reported per market, so an advertiser running heavily in the UK can look completely inactive if you check the US. Pick the market you actually sell into. If a company you were sure advertises comes back empty, the region setting is the first thing to check.

It keeps each run inside a sensible processing window and keeps the tool free. If your list is longer, split it — every run uses the same columns, so the result files concatenate cleanly in a spreadsheet.

Not in the export. The file gives you presence, approximate volume and the advertiser account behind it, which is what you need to sort a list. For the creative, take the advertiser account from the CSV and open it directly in the Transparency Center.

Three ways. Sorting a prospect list so outreach starts with companies already spending. Sizing up a competitor set before a pitch, so you walk in knowing who is visible in that market. And checking a client's category on a schedule, to see who has entered or left since the last review.

No, and this is the trap worth naming. Ad volume shows commitment, not return. Plenty of heavy spenders are buying clicks that never become booked revenue, because the structure behind the ads — tracking, follow-up speed, a sales process that closes what the ads generate — was never built. Seeing the ads is the easy part.
