Review Velocity
The rate at which a listing accumulates reviews — Walmart's algorithm treats steady review velocity as a strong organic-ranking signal.
A listing with 50 reviews accumulated over 6 months ranks materially better than a listing with 100 reviews dumped in a single week (Walmart's spam detector flags review bursts).
ShelfSEO uses review velocity as a proxy for sales velocity until sellers connect the Walmart Marketplace API for actual Sales / Order data.
