Read the full read-out
Meta is static-led for Ahrefs at 65% of 65 observed creatives, with the remainder split across the other two formats. That is a portfolio rather than a single bet, which typically indicates separate creative tracks running against different audiences.
12 creatives launched in the previous seven days, about 18% of the library. That is steady replacement rather than a burst, with enough new material to keep frequency down without rebuilding the account each week.
Paid traffic is split across 15 landing paths in the sampled creatives, led by /agent-a. Separate destinations per creative usually mean separate offers or separate audiences, and it is the clearest signal in a public library that an advertiser is segmenting rather than pushing everyone to one page.
