Monitor product content quality with the DCC score. Automated content scorecards take over the manual job, and notify you of wrongly published content.
When you come to the point that product content is published on multiple sales channels. Do you then believe the job is done? It is not! To avoid wrongly published product content, you must constantly monitor product content quality, including titles, descriptions, images, and videos. You might have hundreds or thousands of product detail pages with your brands' products listed. Manually checking product detail pages one by one is a time-consuming job!
Imagine, you could set your products' content criteria and take the steering wheel— Let automated content scorecards take over the manual job, and get notified if the content is published incorrect or incomplete on retailer sites.
SiteLucent has the solution: The Digital Content Completeness (DCC) score.
How does it work? In this blog, we answer the following questions:
If you start using SiteLucent, the DCC score is one of the terms you are bound to come across. The DCC Score is calculated by comparing the content found for the selected product(s) to the defined completeness criteria and shows the percentage of met criteria.
In short: The DCC score helps you to optimize product pages on retailer sites by identifying gaps and inconsistencies in content.
The DCC score is a weighted average of 3 components:
The three components' criteria are by default as follows:
Why 3 components?
The three layers - Minimal, Basic, and Extended, help you prioritize what to optimize first and bring product content to perfection.
It can be not easy to figure out where to start. Each Product Detail Page (PDP) can be improved a bit, but more interesting is: what can you achieve the most result with? Complete and correct product detail pages can result in more than 30% weekly sales uplift.
Start with products with high page traffic and low conversions. For instance, optimize product descriptions and make sure pages have at least 1 product image. Then focus on optimizing search rankings for products with low page traffic and high conversions. Use the DCC score to determine if main search keywords are mentioned in product titles, descriptions, and meta tags.
You have your content standards, but also retailers do. For instance:
Can you customize the DCC score criteria? Yes, you can. Set your criteria per retailer, country, or product range. The DCC score is highly customizable.
Above, we could see with which criteria/rules the default DCC score is built up. With SiteLucent, you can:
For instance, monitor if a particular keyword is mentioned in a product description in English, French, or Dutch, depending on the platform.
To adjust the DCC score, you navigate to Settings > DCC score
In the below image, we see the three components: Minimal Content, Basic content, and Extended content:
To edit the name and weighting of the three content components, you can click the pencil icon of the content component you wish to adjust.
Then you can adjust the Short name, Long name, Weight, Field, and Condition of a rule/criteria. When you are ready, click the save button.
You can delete an existing rule by clicking the trash-bin icon right next to the weight of a rule. Click the save button. You can add a rule by clicking the "Add rule"- button. 
EXAMPLE
For instance, I want to add a rule to my minimal content criteria/rules. With this rule, I want to measure if my product descriptions contain at least 300 words. I want to give it a 5% weight within the total minimal content component.
You can see in the image below how to do this. When ready, click the save button.
