How can you detect if a website is using Google Ads by looking at the source code?

Detecting whether a website is using Google Ads involves examining the page’s source code for specific scripts, tags, and network requests associated with Google advertising services.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

  1. Open the Page Source: Right-click on the webpage and select “View Page Source” or press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Cmd+Option+U (Mac) to open the page’s source code.
  2. Search for Google Ads-Specific scripts: Use Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to open the search function.
  3. Look for the following keywords and URLs that are commonly associated with Google Ads: googlesyndication.com, doubleclick.net, doubleclick.net/tag/.
