# Mining competitor headlines for keyword ideas

Ad headlines are short, expensive real estate. Whatever words a competitor keeps paying to put there are words that convert for them, or at least words they believe in.

ADSoar extracts the top 20 keywords from a competitor's ad headlines. Three ways to use that list:

- **Gap check.** Put the list next to your own keyword plan. Terms they lean on that you never bid on deserve a test.
- **Angle check.** Are the words about price, speed, trust or features? That tells you which promise they think wins.
- **Length check.** Pair the list with the headline length analysis chart to see whether they write tight or long headlines.

Do not copy headlines word for word. Use the list as a map of what the market responds to, then write your own version.

You can [mine competitor headline keywords](https://adsoar.ai/google-ads-library-pro) in the library tool, and the main features are summarised on [ADSoar](https://adsoar.ai/).
