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