Introduction To Content Score

What is Content Score?

Content Score is a new improvement made to the Seller Center platform which automatically measures the quality of a product’s Content (Product image, Description, Product Name, Short Description) created on Seller Center using certain parameters which are based on the recommended Product Content Guidelines per category in order to encourage & ensure customers have access to quality content on all products.

Few examples from Seller Center per category;

Smartphones > Android Phones and Smartphones > iOS Phones

As seen from the screenshot above, Specific things are used to determine the content score, and these are Parameters such as the number of Characters in the product name, Number of bullet-points in the Short description, The nature of the description as well as whether the attributes of the product are filled in correctly.

These requirements change per category as products in different categories have different attributes which are unique to them. As shown below.

Men’s Clothing > Shirts

NB – Content Score parameters are actually category specific so two different sub-categories under a parent category would have unique parameters.

What are the Content Score Parameters?

These are the pre-determined rules that are set up to ensure the product content is of good quality E.g In a specific category, the threshold of “Product Name” can be set to a minimum of 15 characters and a maximum of 60 characters. The same explanation applies to other product fundamentals such as Product Description, Product Highlights, Product Warranty etc.
