If your offer is simple and product-led, start with static and carousel. If your product needs explanation, social proof, demo, or transformation, start with video. If budget allows, test one static, one video, and one carousel around the same offer.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border: 1px solid #e5e7eb; border-radius: 12px; padding: 16px 18px; margin: 0 0 36px 0; cursor: pointer;\">\n<summary style=\"color: #111827; font-weight: 800; font-size: 16px; list-style: none; cursor: pointer;\">Can AdSpyder show which format competitors use?<\/summary>\n<p style=\"color: #374151; margin: 14px 0 0 0; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">Yes.
