Getting Started
Drop in your website, pick a proven ad, and walk away with your first branded ad in one sitting.
Your first ten minutes
StealAds starts with your brand, not a blank prompt. Onboarding asks for your website, reads your brand from it, and then has you make a real ad from a proven source ad so you see the whole loop before you explore.
Your first ad is free. After that, you pick a plan to keep making ads, tracking rivals and saving your work.
Onboarding, step by step:
- Drop your website - StealAds scans it for your name, colors, fonts, voice, audience and pain points
- Check the basics - fix anything the scan got wrong, or set the brand up by hand
- Add product photos (optional) - up to 5, so the ad shows your real product instead of a stand-in
- Say what you are selling this month (optional) - an offer or campaign to build around
- Make My Ad - StealAds picks a proven source ad and builds your version, sized for feed and stories
Find your way around
The sidebar groups the app by what you are doing. Everything below has its own page in these docs.
Main pages:
- Home - this week's changes across your rivals and what is ready for you
- Ad Library - live ads from every brand, searchable, with Steal this ad on each one
- The Read - your rivals side by side, refreshed every week
- Monitoring - the rivals you track and their latest scans
- Playbooks - what one rival runs, kills and keeps
- Swipe files and Campaigns - the ads you saved and the ads you made
What to do next
Track three rivals. The Read lines them up side by side and starts once you track three, and every tracked rival gets its own Playbook.
Then open the Ad Library, find an ad that has been running for weeks, and press Steal this ad. Ads that keep running are usually the ones that work.
