How to Fix: Poor Title

Why this happens

The product title is either too short (missing key information buyers search for), too long (keyword-stuffed), uses special characters, or fails to include the brand name, product type, or key attributes in the first 80 characters.

Step-by-step fix

  1. 1Research your target keywords using Amazon autocomplete and competitor titles
  2. 2Write a new title following the formula: Brand + Product Type + Key Feature + Secondary Attribute + Count/Size
  3. 3Keep the most critical information within the first 80 characters for mobile visibility
  4. 4Stay under 200 characters total (many categories enforce this strictly)
  5. 5Remove all special characters, HTML tags, and promotional language
  6. 6Update via Edit Listing > Product Info > Product Name

Prevention tips

  • Write titles using a character counter to stay within limits
  • Test different title structures using A/B testing if brand-registered (Manage Your Experiments)
  • Review title monthly for any Amazon auto-edits — Amazon sometimes modifies titles, which can hurt performance
