visual performance is an overall measure of how well your listing’s images match Amazon’s best practices and guidelines. this score breaks down into 3 parts: 

  1. image quality: do your image files meet the standard for technical and production quality?
  2. gallery count: does your gallery or carousel have Amazon’s recommended image count of at least 6 images?
  3. visual mix: does your listing use an optimal variety of content types?
