# Listings with LQS <60% (suppressed), Walmart Marketplace

> Listings with LQS <60% (suppressed) for Walmart Marketplace stores. Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it.

**Card class:** [Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained)  •  **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

## 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.

|                       |                                                                                                                                |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **What it counts**    | The number of listings with a Listing Quality Score below the suppression threshold, hidden from Walmart search.               |
| **Sample type**       | Backend API data from Walmart Marketplace, refreshed on the standard data refresh.                                             |
| **Why it matters**    | Suppressed listings do not appear in search, so each one is a live SKU generating no discoverability or sales until LQS rises. |
| **Reading the value** | Zero is the goal; any non-zero count is listings actively losing visibility and revenue right now.                             |
| **Currency**          | count                                                                                                                          |
| **Time window**       | `RT`                                                                                                                           |
| **Alert trigger**     | `>0`                                                                                                                           |
| **Sentiment key**     | `wal_lqs_below_threshold`                                                                                                      |
| **Roles**             | owner, operations                                                                                                              |

## 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. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace upstream causes; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.

## Sibling cards merchants should reference together

| Card                                                                                                        | Why merchants reach for it                                               |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [`wal_avg_lqs`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/listing-quality-score)                          | The catalogue-wide score; this card is its worst-performing tail.        |
| [`wal_attribute_completeness`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/required-attribute-completeness) | The most common driver pulling LQS below the suppression line.           |
| [`wal_suspended_listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/suspended-item-setup-error-listings) | Listings taken fully offline by setup errors, a step beyond suppression. |
| [`wal_active_listings`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/active-listings)                        | The published count that suppression quietly erodes.                     |
| [`wal_revenue_at_risk`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/walmart-marketplace/revenue-at-risk-live)                   | Quantifies the revenue these hidden listings are forgoing.               |

## 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:**

| Reason                                                                                                         | Direction | What to do               |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ |
| **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses RT rolling by default; Seller Center may use calendar periods.             | Variable  | Match the period range.  |
| **Time zone.** Seller Center uses the account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to the merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal  | Confirm time zone match. |
| **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (fulfilment type, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view.          | Variable  | Match filter settings.   |

**Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Q: How often does Listings with LQS \<60% (suppressed) update?**
The card refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). For real-time signals, force a manual refresh from the dashboard.

**Q: Why does my Walmart Seller Center show a different number?**
Walmart recalculates Listing Quality Score on its own cadence, so a listing may cross the suppression line in Seller Center slightly before or after Vortex IQ reflects it. Filter scope (fulfilment type, test items, or already-offline listings) can also change which listings are counted.

**Q: How quickly does a listing return to search after I fix its LQS?**
Recovery depends on Walmart recalculating the score after your changes propagate; the count here will fall once the listing's LQS rises back above the suppression threshold, which can lag your edit by a refresh cycle or two.

**Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?**
Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default.
