Abstract: We study Seiberg duality for quiver gauge theories with fundamental, bifundamental, and rank-two tensor matter. The existence of a Seiberg dual description places strong constraints on the spectrum of undressed mesons, which is naturally encoded in a factorization equation for the matrix Hilbert series. We derive this factorization from a closed-form large-$N$ superconformal index for general quiver gauge theories with these matter contents. We apply the method to two-node quivers and recover known $SU$--$SU$ and $SO$--$USp$ product-group dualities. We also discuss finite-$N$ consistency conditions from anomaly and operator-spectrum matching.
