A+ Content
What this benchmark means
- A+ Content is table stakes: 9 of 10 top sellers use it. A listing without A+ is visibly behind every leader on the shelf.
- Creator content is saturated: the median top listing carries 10 creator videos. Having creator video isn't a differentiator in Protein — having better creator video is.
- The leaders are entrenched — a median of 20,611 reviews at 4.6 stars. Content parity with this benchmark is the price of entry; review volume takes longer to build.
