In this set, Hair Cuttery (30 ads), Unicorn Hair Queen (16 ads), Massage Envy (12 ads). Counts are active ads in Dovey's index on October 7, 2026, not Meta's full account.

How are the top ads chosen?

By Dovey's rank: how long the ad has run, how many variations the advertiser keeps making of it, reach where Meta publishes it, freshness, whether it is still live, and relaunches. Meta publishes no performance numbers for ordinary ads, and Dovey does not invent them; a long run with many variations is the closest public signal to an ad that works.

Where does this data come from?

Meta's Ad Library, read through a licensed provider. Every ad links back to its Ad Library page. Dovey adds the model's read of each creative (hook, angle, offer, format, talent) and, for videos it has watched, the transcript.
