Image Metadata

Hi everyone,

I read somewhere that Amazon will scan our metadata for restricted keywords and pick up those restrictions. May I know which is the metadata - the name of the image file or the Alt text that we input each time we upload an image? I have not been naming my files that well (random names) and I realized that a restricted word and a system may have been saved in my file name. Is this the metadata?

Also, can someone advise whether deleting the data in the metabase will affect my published listing? i.e. when I delete an image that I have added to my listing, will this image disappear from the listing?

Hello @Seller_kjqoYCZoap1N0- thanks for asking this poignant question here on the seller forums. I apologize that I cannot confirm the exact details of how Amazon defines metadata, or if the two possible sources, image file titles and image alternate text, are taken into account for possible restricted product scenarios.

As a best practice, I think it likely prudent to look to audit both those areas for possibly problematic language however, to help ensure you products are not incorrectly tagged as restricted products.

To your second question, I can confirm that deleting an image that is currently attached to a listing will result in that image being removed from the listing.

Thank you again for looking to the forums for guidance, and I do hope this information proves useful!

Best,

Danny
