It is important to consider whether your bids are high enough! Luckily Perpetua's bid shading algorithm helps with that.

Relevancy

How relevant is your product to what the customer is currently looking at?

Having a well researched and descriptive product title is definitely one of the most effective ways to grow both your Organic Rank as well as your relevance on Walmart.com.

Your product's title will aid Walmart's algorithm to identify keywords that are most relevant to your product and match those to what users are searching. Majority of the time, if a user were to search a specific search term, the top placements are those that include that word in their descriptive product titles.

User Reviews

In order for customers to trust your product enough to want to purchase it, there must be some sort credible reviews. Not only must there be a good amount of reviews, they must also have a large number of high rated reviews (4-5 stars).
