Top Ads: Finding and Relaunching Your Best Performers

How to use the 'Top Ads' feature inside of AdStellar AI

Updated over 2 months ago

The Top Ads feature helps you identify your highest-performing ad combinations and relaunch them with just a few clicks. This guide covers how to use Top Ads to find winners and how to leverage AI Suggestions for untested combinations.


Accessing Top Ads

Click Top Ads in the left navigation menu. AdStellar pulls in all your ad data from your imported campaigns and organizes it by landing page, showing every website URL you've driven traffic to.

Finding Your Top Performers

When you click on a landing page, AdStellar analyzes all the ads you've run to that specific URL and surfaces your top-performing combinations.

What you'll see for each ad:

  • Complete targeting information (interests, lookalike audiences)

  • Ad creative (image or video)

  • Copy and headline

  • Call-to-action button

  • Performance metrics

Sorting and Filtering

To find your best ads quickly:

  1. Set your date range (e.g., last 30 days, or all time)

  2. Sort by results (high to low) to see top performers first

  3. Set a minimum spend threshold (e.g., $50 or $100) to filter out ads without enough data

  4. Click Apply

This filters out low-spend ads and shows you only the combinations that have meaningful performance data.

Why This Matters

In media buying, you often want to relaunch ads that are working well or have worked well in the past. The Top Ads feature gives you a complete picture of what's driving results: the targeting AND the creative together.

You can:

  • See exactly which interest targeting or lookalike audiences performed best

  • View the full ad preview on the right side

  • Understand clearly what's working versus what isn't

Relaunching Top Ads

When you find an ad combination you want to run again:

  1. Click Add to Draft below the ad

  2. AdStellar creates a new draft with everything pre-configured

  3. Click into the draft to enter the campaign launch experience

  4. Review the setup (it's already built out for you)

  5. Click one or two more buttons to go live on Meta

This makes relaunching proven winners incredibly fast. You can also make small adjustments before launching if needed.

AI Suggestions: Untested Winning Combinations

Navigate back to the Top Ads section and click into AI Suggestions. This feature identifies winning elements from across your campaigns and combines them into new ad variations you haven't tested yet.

How It Works

AdStellar scores every element of your ads:

  • Creatives (e.g., 4.6 out of 10)

  • Headlines (e.g., 5.9 out of 10)

  • Audiences

  • Copy

  • Call-to-action buttons

Then it looks across all your imported campaigns and finds high-performing elements that haven't been used together. For example:

  • A headline from Campaign A

  • A creative from Campaign B

  • An audience from Campaign C

AdStellar combines these into a recommended new ad combination.

Launching AI Suggestions

Each suggestion shows you:

  • The audience being used

  • The call-to-action

  • Primary text

  • Headline

  • Creative

  • Individual element scores

To test a suggestion:

  1. Click Add to Draft

  2. Launch the campaign to Meta

  3. Your new ad can be live within minutes

Continuous Optimization

AI Suggestions updates continuously. As you launch new ads and they flow into AdStellar, the system analyzes the fresh data and builds new untested combinations for you to try.

This eliminates the manual work of:

  • Digging through Ads Manager data

  • Figuring out which audiences performed best

  • Manually duplicating and combining elements

  • Spending hours building new test variations


Spend time exploring the Top Ads feature and regularly check AI Suggestions for new combinations. These untested variations, built from your proven winning elements, could end up being your best-performing campaigns yet.
