Listing Audit

The problem

Sellers often know a listing is underperforming but cannot identify the specific technical or positioning errors killing their conversion rate. Vague feedback like "improve your SEO" fails to provide the actionable data needed to fix silent failures like character truncations or wasted tag slots.

What it does

• Performs exact character counts for titles and tags against platform-specific limits to identify silent truncation.
• Audits tag utilization to find empty slots, duplicates, and redundant keywords already present in the title.
• Analyzes description text to flag high adjective density and missing technical specifications like file dimensions or exclusions.
• Categorizes every defect into a severity-ranked findings list (Critical, Important, Minor) prioritized by ease of fix.
• Evaluates audience positioning to identify high-level friction caused by vague targeting or blended buyer personas.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts usually result in a rewrite that masks the underlying issues without explaining them. This skill enforces a diagnostic framework that counts actual characters instead of estimating, ensuring you catch technical violations that LLMs typically overlook in conversational modes.

Use cases

• Pre-publish sanity checks to ensure a listing meets all platform technical constraints.
• Diagnosing existing "dead" listings that have high views but zero sales.
• Auditing a competitor's listing to identify gaps in their positioning or technical SEO.
• Pattern recognition for agency owners to show clients exactly why their store is failing.

Known limitations

This skill provides diagnosis only. It does not rewrite the listing or generate new assets, as it is designed to teach the seller how to identify their own patterns of error.

What it does not do This skill diagnoses. It reports what is wrong, ranked by how much it costs you, using each platform's published limits and observable properties of your listing. It does not rewrite your title, restructure your description, generate a replacement tag set or plan your preview images — fixing is a different job with a different method, and a diagnosis that quietly becomes a rewrite teaches you nothing about your own listings.
