Before you begin

How did Quartile, an AI-powered ad campaign optimization platform, find high-fit buyers to target with their outbound sales campaigns?

They used Clay and SerpAPI to create a list of ideal buyers who were actively running search ads and shopping ads on Google. 

ICP fit. Check.

Actively running paid ads. Check. 

High likelihood that they’ll show interest in ad campaign optimization software? Check. 

In this Claybook, we’ll show you exactly how to do it: 

  • Identify companies actively running search ads and shopping ads
  • Get viewable links to real ads, organized by company, directly in your table
  • Streamline list building and prospecting for ad-based products and services 

Note: To run this Claybook, you’ll need to use HTTP API enrichment in Clay, which is only available in certain paid plans (Explorer, Pro, Enterprise).
