How to Monitor Amazon Seller Account Health Proactively (2025 Guide)

Maintaining a healthy Amazon seller account is not just a recommendation—it's a necessity. Whether you're a private label seller, wholesaler, or FBA merchant, your Account Health Rating (AHR) directly affects your ability to sell. In 2025, proactive monitoring is the only way to stay ahead of suspensions, suppressed listings, and compliance violations. 

This guide will walk you through the most critical elements of seller account health and how to monitor them efficiently—before small issues become big problems. 

What Is Amazon Account Health? 
Your Amazon account health is measured by several key performance indicators (KPIs), including: 

• Order Defect Rate (ODR) 
• Cancellation Rate 
• Late Shipment Rate 
• Policy Violations 
• Customer Feedback 
• Voice of the Customer Score 

Amazon evaluates these metrics to ensure sellers provide a reliable and high-quality customer experience. A decline in any area may trigger warnings, suspensions, or even permanent removal from the platform. 

Why Proactive Monitoring Matters in 2025 
Amazon's rules evolve quickly, and enforcement has become more stringent. Waiting for a warning is no longer viable. Proactive monitoring gives you: 

• Early visibility into potential violations or trends 
• Time to resolve issues before penalties 
• Protection for your Buy Box and rankings 
• Peace of mind knowing you’re always compliant 

How to Set Up Proactive Monitoring 

1. Use Amazon’s Account Health Dashboard 
   Found in Seller Central, this is your first defense. Check for alerts, violation flags, and ASIN-level issues. 
2. Enable Amazon Notifications
   Make sure account alerts are emailed to your team, not just your primary inbox. 
3. Implement Third-Party Monitoring Tools
   Tools like SentryKit offer 24/7 monitoring and instant alerts. SentryKit scans your listings, flags suppressed ASINs, policy violations, and negative feedback as they happen—so you can act before Amazon does. 
4. Set Threshold Alerts for Key
   Metrics Track your performance against Amazon’s compliance thresholds. Get notified the moment you’re at risk of crossing them. 
5. Automate Listing Quality Checks
   Run routine audits for missing bullet points, poor keywords, and A+ content issues—these often trigger suppressed listings or hurt conversion. 

Best Practices to Stay in the Green Zone 

• Respond quickly to performance notifications 
• Appeal violations with evidence before they escalate 
• Monitor competitors to identify shared listing threats or hijacking 
• Audit returns and reviews to detect trends in customer dissatisfaction 
• Use FBA when possible for better control over shipping metrics
