How to find more winning ads
The problem

One winning ad isn't a pattern.

You found an ad that's winning. Maybe it's a competitor's, maybe it's from a brand outside your category entirely. Ask Claude to find more ads built the same way, and it can't. It can't see the creative, so all it can search is the words you give it. Digging through ad libraries by hand takes hours, and one winner is never enough to tell a pattern from a lucky ad.

The difference

What "looks like" actually means.

Upspring preprocesses the creatives it tracks, so Claude can match ads on what they show and what they argue: the scene, the format, who's on screen, the text in the first seconds. Not keywords, not captions. The creative itself. And it scores every creative it tracks, so you know which ads are actually winning, not just which ones look good.

Setup

Connect it.

Connect to Claude

1. Open Claude, click your name, then Settings.

2. Go to Connectors, click Discover.

3. Search "Upspring," click Connect.

4. Sign up for Upspring.ai first if you haven't already. No card required.

Step one

Start from a winner.

Pick an ad Upspring scored high, not just one you like. If you don't have one in mind, ask Claude for the top-scoring ads in your category. Or show it a winner you already found: paste the image, drop a link, or describe it.

"What are the top-scoring ads in my category right now?" Try it in Claude

Step two

Find everything built like it.

Ask for every ad that shares its look: the scene, the format, the first seconds. Keep it to your category, or open it up to the whole market. A look that's everywhere in supplements might be untouched in your space.

"Find ads that look like the top one. Is any competitor running something like it?" Try it in Claude

Step three

Check if the look is winning, not just the ad.

One winner can be luck. If the ads built the same way score high too, the look itself is what's working. Ask what they share, and how they score.

"What do these ads have in common, and how do they score?" Try it in Claude

The call

Keep your own judgment.

Upspring shows you what's winning and what's built like it. It doesn't tell you to copy it. Whether the look fits your brand, and how you make it yours, is still your call.
