Category Suppression
Walmart hides a listing from category-browse pages (but not from direct-keyword search) when it fails category-specific compliance rules.
Common causes: missing required attribute, wrong category assignment, image-rule violation.
Symptom: traffic from category-browse drops 80%+ while keyword traffic stays flat. Hard to spot without rank-tracking.
