How do I find the top TikTok ads in my niche?

Last updated October 13, 2026 · By the AdRadar team · Data: public Meta Ad Library scans

Short answer

Open TikTok Creative Center → Top Ads, choose country, industry, objective and period (7, 30 or 180 days), then sort by CTR or likes. With AdRadar connected, your agent can pull the top 20 auction ads for a country with CTR, likes, budget tier and objective, and summarise the hooks for you.

Key takeaways

  • TikTok Creative Center's Top Ads is free and shows real CTR and engagement ranges, which Meta does not.
  • It lists top ads by country and industry, not every ad from a given advertiser.
  • TikTok's separate Ad Library (library.tiktok.com) covers ads shown in the EU and is a different tool.
  • AdRadar's ad_radar_tiktok_top returns 20 ads per call; video links expire after about 24 hours.

How to do it

  1. Open Top Ads. Go to TikTok Creative Center → Inspiration → Top Ads.
  2. Filter. Pick country, industry, campaign objective and period. Sort by CTR for direct response, likes for creative appeal.
  3. Watch the first 3 seconds. Note the hook format: problem, demo, UGC testimonial, before/after.
  4. Or ask your agent. Ask AdRadar for the top TikTok ads in your country sorted by CTR, then ask for the repeated hook patterns.

FAQ

Is TikTok Creative Center free?

Yes. You need a TikTok For Business login for some filters.

What's the difference between TikTok Creative Center and the TikTok Ad Library?

Creative Center shows top-performing ads for inspiration. The Ad Library is a transparency database, mainly for ads shown in the EU.

Can I search a specific competitor's TikTok ads?

Not in Creative Center. Try the TikTok Ad Library for EU-delivered ads, or search the brand on TikTok directly.
