Detect Google Ads Activity in the Sparkforge Prospecting Tool

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

The Prospecting Tool's audit report now flags whether a prospect is actively running Google Ads, giving agencies a clear signal for ad-related outreach and upsell conversations.

The Sparkforge Prospecting Tool now detects whether a prospect is actively running Google Ads and surfaces that signal inside the audit report. Use it to qualify ad-spend prospects and shape outreach around what they already do.

What the detection shows

Active Google Ads: the audit report flags whether the prospect is running paid search.
In-context placement: the signal appears alongside the rest of the audit data, so you can correlate ads with site quality, reviews, and listings.

How agencies use the signal

Prioritize prospects who are already spending on ads but missing CRM, follow-up, or call tracking.
Open conversations around landing-page conversion, lead routing, and missed-call recovery rather than cold pitches.
Bundle ad management with platform onboarding for prospects with active campaigns.

Where to find it

Run a prospecting audit as you normally would. The Google Ads detection appears in the audit report alongside the other site and marketing signals.

Can I filter prospects by Google Ads activity?
