Quick answers

What should I do first when my listing is suppressed?

Read the takedown reason before changing anything. Listing SOS identifies the likely trigger, produces a rule-aware draft rewrite, and prepares an appeal plan for you to verify against the platform notice.

How do I catch rank drops early?

Track your main keywords and re-check daily - every plan does this automatically and shows movement with arrows. A three-place slip caught on day one is a tweak; caught in month two it is a rescue.

How do I keep up with marketplace policy changes?

Policy alerts watch the announcements and email you only when a change touches what you sell, so rules stop breaking listings quietly.

See it work

Three steps, and what each one actually produces - words, pictures and video.

1
Give it what you have
A listing, a link, a photo, a product name, or the email a marketplace just sent you.
2
It writes, draws and checks, per marketplace
Six different listings and the images to go with them, each to that marketplace's limits and rules, with measured keywords behind the words.
3
You publish; it keeps watching
Files, exact fields or one-click fill; then daily rank, price and listing-health watch.
One product, six listingsExample · bamboo cutting board · pictures made by Optimlister
Why each version differs: every card is written fresh to the rule printed on it - Amazon now uses a 75-character Item name plus 125-character Item Highlights and benefit bullets, Etsy uses buyer-friendly titles and up to 13 tags, eBay uses item specifics, and Walmart uses structured attributes. The meter under each title shows how much of that marketplace's title limit the example uses. Every asset here is a real generator output with its exact cost - see the receipts.
