After logging into the Kompyte platform, navigate to the Tools section on the top navigator, from here click on Ad Timeline.
Once directed to the Ad Timeline you will see all of your competitors' ads at a glance. The visual that occupies the top half of the page indicates every day that a competitor ran an ad. Where you see gaps in the timeline, that means that that particular competitor didn't run anything on that day.
If you click on any of the colored timelines, you will see a breakdown of every search term that they were targeting.
Click on the row that contains the search term and you'll see a specific breakdown showing the ads that are running on a particular date.
If you would like to see the full ad and the related landing page, you can simply click on the ad headline or row, and all of the information will populate a popup window.
With this view, you can also see the history of this particular ad by clicking on "History".
Please note: There may be a few instances where an Ad isn't detected
The following are reasons why your ads may not be detected by Kompyte:
The ad is localized or has geo-targeting applied.
The ad keyword is not profiled in your tracked list of keywords within Kompyte.
Your Adwords quality score is low, you may have limited exposure and the ads may not be present at the time of our scans. With this example, you may get a popup error saying something to the effect of "Your ads are rarely shown due to landing page relevancy or ad relevancy".
You may not be bidding high enough to get your ad to show.
If you exhaust your daily ad spend quickly, the ad may not be present at the time of our scans.
