Feed Health Score
The Feed Health Score provides a comprehensive quality assessment of your product data. It evaluates your feed across multiple dimensions and calculates a score on a 0–42 scale — a playful reference to "The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything."
This score helps you quickly understand whether your feed is ready for advertising platforms or needs improvement.
Score Breakdown
The overall score is based on three weighted dimensions:
| Dimension | Weight | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Completeness | 40% | Measures whether required fields are filled |
| Validation | 30% | Checks whether field values follow expected formats |
| Channel Readiness | 30% | Evaluates readiness for major advertising channels |
Grading System
| Score Range | Grade | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 38–42 | Excellent | Feed is in great shape |
| 32–37 | Good | Minor improvements recommended |
| 21–31 | Fair | Multiple issues need attention |
| 0–20 | Poor | Feed requires significant fixes |
Color indicators help you quickly interpret the result at a glance.
Core Required Fields
The following fields are evaluated for completeness across your products:
