Finding winning products

Look for ads that have been running for 15+ days with increasing ad spend. If an advertiser keeps spending money on an ad, it's almost certainly profitable. That's your signal to test the same product.

Shop Insights

For each ad, you can unlock detailed shop insights which reveal:

  • "Monthly store visits and traffic sources" "Revenue estimates for the store" "Top-selling products" "Tech stack and theme used" "Social media presence and follower counts"

Credits

Unlocking shop insights uses credits. The number of credits required is shown before you confirm the action.
