What score should I aim for?
A score of 70+ indicates a strong, publish-ready description. Scores between 40–70 are a solid foundation that can be improved with targeted edits. Scores below 40 usually mean the description is too short, lacks keywords, or misses key persuasion elements.
How accurate is the audit?

Can I audit competitor descriptions?
Yes — auditing competitor listings is one of the smartest ways to use this tool. Identify what makes high-performing competitors' descriptions strong, then use the Improve tool to write something better.
Do I need to create an account to use the audit tool?
No. The product description audit tool is completely free and requires no signup or credit card. Paste any description, hit audit, and get your score and improvement tips in seconds.
How do I improve a low-scoring description?
