Mastering Amazon Content Quality Score: A Guide to Better Visibility & Rankings

Selling on Amazon is a game of precision. From the outside, it may seem like sales success comes down to having a good product at a competitive price. But for those in the seller’s seat, it quickly becomes clear: what truly moves the needle is how well your product listing is built.

This is where Amazon’s Item Data Quality (IDQ) Score comes in—a behind-the-scenes metric that plays a powerful role in your product’s visibility, ranking, eligibility, and even whether it shows up in search at all.

In this guide, we’ll take a detailed, practical look at:

  • What the IDQ score is, and how it works
  • How each content section impacts your score
  • Tips to optimize your listings to meet Amazon’s best practices
  • Tools Amazon provides for evaluating and improving listing quality

Whether you’re just starting out or optimizing an existing catalog, this guide will help you build stronger, more competitive product listings on Amazon.
