Ads Goldmine — surface high-value ASINs by ad + sponsor density signals

Score the ASINs in your catalog across four signal tiers — Lightning Deals, Creator Connections, SPCC offers, brand-search density — to find which products to feature next.

Pass 1 — UI-only. The scoring engine and the read-only catalog view ship today. A dedicated runner that triggers refreshes on a schedule is on the roadmap. For now, you click Refresh Now manually when you want fresh scores.

What Ads Goldmine does

Most of the time, the question isn't "what products exist?" — it's "which of the products I have access to are worth featuring right now?" Ads Goldmine answers that. It scores each ASIN in your catalog across four signals:

  • Tier 1: Deal signals (via the Creators API) — Lightning Deals, Prime-exclusive deals, % claimed. The freshness of these signals is the strongest "post this now" indicator.
  • Tier 2: Creator Connections + SPCC — read live from the catalogs cc-check harvests. ASINs with an active campaign or a sponsored offer score higher.
  • Tier 4: Brand-search density — how many sponsored slots a brand owns on its category search results. Brands buying ad space at scale are signal-rich pitch targets.
  • Tier 4 PDP probe — for top-ranked brands, walks the product detail page to count brand-store URLs and sponsored-carousel slots.

The output is a sortable, filterable table of ASINs with a 0-100 composite score.

Before you start

  • CC Storefront ID in the topbar.
  • Creators API key in API Integrations — required for Tier 1 signals. Without it, Tier 1 is skipped and your scores rely on Tiers 2 + 4 only.
  • cc-check has run recently — Ads Goldmine reads from the CC/SPCC catalogs cc-check maintains.

Running your first refresh

  1. Open Ads Goldmine under Amazon Butler.
  2. Click Refresh Now.

The refresh runs the four tiers in order:

  1. Tier 1 Creators-API deal probe (6h TTL — won't re-run within 6 hours if already fresh; skipped entirely if no Creators API key).
  2. Tier 4 brand-search probe (30 brands per session, 7-day TTL).
  3. Tier 4 PDP probe (top-ranked brands, 14-day TTL — counts brand-store URLs + sponsored carousels).
  4. Tier 2 (CC + SPCC) reads live without a runner — no probe needed.

A first refresh on a fresh catalog takes 5-15 minutes. Subsequent refreshes are minutes-to-seconds because the TTLs keep most data warm.

Working the results

The results table:

  • Score (0-100) — composite across all tiers. Filterable via the Min score slider.
  • ASIN + product title — the product.
  • Brand — clickable, opens a filter by brand.
  • Per-tier breakdown — columns show which tiers contributed to the score (you can see at a glance if a high score comes from deals, CC, or brand-search density).
  • Last refreshed — when each signal was last polled. Older signals get auto-faded styling.

What to do with high-score ASINs:

  • Schedule them in Daily Deals Butler for posting if the score is driven by Tier 1 (deal urgency).
  • Pitch the brand via Pitch Butler if the score is driven by Tier 4 (brand is spending on ads — they have budget for influencer too).
  • Feature in Video Butler / Voiceover Butler scripts for any high-score ASIN.

The feedback loop

Once you have ≥5 tagged ASINs with ≥3 commission rows each, Ads Goldmine also computes a conversion lift column showing how each scored ASIN performed against your actual earnings data. This is the most important signal in the workspace — it tells you whether the scoring algorithm matches your real performance. Tune from there.

Tuning over time

  • Refresh cadence — once a week is enough for most users. Tier 1 deals have 6h freshness, Tier 4 has 7-14 days; weekly refreshes keep everything inside its window.
  • Min score filter — start at 50 to see only "worth your attention" rows. Drop to 30 if you want a broader pool to evaluate.
  • Feedback loop interpretation — if high-score ASINs are not converting, your scoring weight on Tier 1 vs Tier 4 needs tuning. Look at which tier the high-score-low-conversion rows are leaning on.

Where the data goes

Per-ASIN scores + per-tier signal caches live in {userData}/InfluencerButler/workspaces/preseed/cache/ads-goldmine/. The TTLs keep file growth bounded.

Common gotchas

  • "No data yet" — you haven't clicked Refresh Now. Pass 1 has no auto-refresh — that's coming.
  • Tier 1 column is blank — Creators API key missing in API Integrations. Add it and re-refresh.
  • Conversion lift column shows "—" — you have fewer than 5 tagged ASINs or fewer than 3 commission rows per ASIN. Earnings Intelligence kicks the lift calculation in once you cross those thresholds.
  • Scores feel uniform — the catalog might be too small for the scoring algorithm to differentiate well. The algorithm works best on catalogs of 50+ ASINs.
