Listing Quality Score (LQS)

Walmart's internal 0-100 score grading how well a listing is built — drives search rank, Buy-Box eligibility, and category-filter inclusion.

Five weighted sub-scores: Attributes (40%), Images (20%), Content (20%), Discoverability (10%), Offer quality (10%). Same weights drive ShelfSEO's audit so the number you see matches what Walmart's algorithm sees.

Below 60 → suppression risk. 60-80 → competitive. 90+ → algorithm-eligible at top tier. Most catalogs sit at 60-70 because attribute completeness is hard work.
