How to Use Discovery in Heystak

If you’ve ever felt lost in the endless scroll of ad libraries, Discovery is the shortcut you’ve been waiting for. It’s where you go to find the best ads, the ones that actually work, and the insights behind them. They are saved by our community of users, but also scraped in using our severs from Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

Find Your Niche

The first step is focus. Discovery comes with niche filters that let you zero in on exactly what you’re looking for — whether that’s skincare, fitness, SaaS, or travel. Instead of wading through irrelevant ads, you’ll only see the ones that matter to your industry.

Sort by What Works

Not all ads are created equal. That’s why Discovery lets you sort by longest-running.
The logic is simple: if a brand keeps paying to run an ad for weeks or months, it’s working. This view cuts through hype and shows you what’s proven.

Search by Keyword

Sometimes you already know what you’re hunting for. That’s where the keyword search comes in. Type in a phrase like “protein powder” or “carry-on luggage” and instantly surface every ad that matches.

Click Into the Details

Every ad card opens up into a full breakdown:

The creative itself — video or image.

The copy, exactly as it ran.

A live preview of the landing page.

Start date, duration, and whether it’s still active.

It’s like peeking behind the curtain of your competitor’s campaign.

Save What Inspires You

When you find an ad worth keeping, just hit Save. It drops into your personal Collections, your own private swipe file. Use it to organize by client, campaign, or idea — and come back when you need inspiration.

Go Beyond the Surface

Here’s where Heystak takes things further. Each ad doesn’t just show you the creative — it gives you the why behind it:

Emotional analysis shows you if it’s built on urgency, trust, humor, or desire.

• Persona cues highlight who the ad is really targeting.

• Tone and style give you a read on whether it’s polished, plain, or playful.

This isn’t just a library. It’s a set of tools for decoding why ads convert.

Final Thought

Discovery turns guesswork into pattern recognition. With niche filters, keyword search, longest-running sort, and deeper emotional insights, you’ll spend less time scrolling and more time learning what makes great ads stick.

Minimal effort. Maximum clarity.
