Frequently asked questions

Can I optimize part of a listing, or does it update everything?
You have complete control. You can run full-listing optimization to refresh all editable fields at once, or use section-level optimization (titles, descriptions, tags or SEO metadata only) for more targeted updates. This lets you fine-tune specific areas while keeping other parts of your content exactly as you like them.
What does my listing score mean?
Your listing score reflects how well your listing aligns with the best practices and SEO requirements of the platform it’s published on (like Etsy, Shopify, or eBay). Scores are generated using marketplace-specific criteria such as title structure, tags, descriptions, and photo setup—helping you instantly see where improvements can boost visibility and performance.
How do I optimize a listing?
You can optimize any listing wherever you see the green wand icon. Add notes to guide the AI, retry for new results, revert if needed, or keep changes when you’re satisfied. You can optimize entire listings from the individual listing edit page, or optimize sections individually or in bulk. AI optimization is tailored for each selling platform and improves SEO performance. For more details, see the Help Center video on optimizing listings.
How does AI Optimize improve my score?
When you click Optimize or use the green wand icon, Vela’s AI rewrites or adjusts content like titles, descriptions and other SEO fields to improve relevance and clarity—raising your score and discoverability. You can preview AI’s suggestions, Keep them as-is, or Retry for new results before publishing.
