Who advertises at the S&P 500’s ten largest companies.
Refreshed daily from Google’s Ads Transparency Center. Each count is ads pointing at a company’s domains, and for the largest brands most are placed by someone else. Google does not publish spend for commercial advertisers, so there are no spend figures here.
Each arrow is one creative: green if the company placed it, yellow if someone else did.

iii First-party classification
Each company is credited only for creatives placed by its own allowlist of advertiser IDs, each verified against Ads Transparency Center records rather than inferred from the advertiser’s name. Everything else pointing at a tracked domain counts as third party: affiliates, resellers and partners. The page draws no conclusion about them.
Every count on this page reads “creatives pointing at these domains,” never “creatives by” the company. A domain search returns every advertiser pointing at a domain, and for the largest brands most of them are not the brand.
† A floor rather than a count. This reads the 120 most recently active creatives per domain, and this domain has more.
‡ Rotation is only reported where every creative is visible.
