At a glance
This card counts listings whose Listing Quality Score has fallen below the suppression threshold, the point at which Walmart hides them from search. These products are technically live but effectively invisible to shoppers, so the card is a direct revenue blocker. Sellers watch it because every suppressed listing is a SKU earning nothing until its LQS recovers.
Calculation
Vortex IQ reads each listing’s Listing Quality Score from Walmart Marketplace and counts those sitting below the suppression threshold in real time. The value rises as listings degrade past the line and falls as you fix the underlying quality gaps. As the At a glance summary notes, these listings are live but hidden from search; the worked example below shows how a single attribute regression can suppress a batch at once.Worked example
A representative reading of Listings with LQS <60% (suppressed) for a typical merchant on Walmart Marketplace. On 12 Mar 26 the card shows a representative 23 suppressed listings, up from 4 the day before. Drilling in, most fell below the threshold after a feed update stripped a required attribute and weakened several titles at once. The reading means 23 SKUs are currently unfindable in search, so the action is to restore the missing attribute and strengthen the affected titles and images, then watch the count fall as LQS recovers above the threshold.

Reconciling against Walmart Seller Center
Where to look in Walmart Seller Center: Verify against the Listing Quality dashboard, where Walmart flags listings below the quality threshold and indicates which are suppressed from search. The listing-level detail shows the specific quality factors pulling each one down. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:
