00:00You know, the single most important piece of text on your entire Amazon listing might

00:04just be the one you've thought about the least, your product title.

00:08Seriously, getting this wrong can make you totally invisible, but getting it right, well

00:12that can change everything.

00:14So let's dive in and break down how to master it.

00:17So if you're an Amazon seller, does this sound familiar?

00:20You've got this amazing product, you know it's great, but the views and sales, they're

00:25just not happening.

00:26It kind of feels like you're shouting into the void, right?

00:28Well, guess what?

00:30The problem probably isn't your product.

00:32It might just be the handful of words that introduce it.

00:35Think of the product title as its digital handshake.

00:38In that huge sea of search results, it's that one bold line of text that has to do all the

00:42heavy lifting.

00:43It needs to grab a shopper's attention, tell them what's special, and earn that all-important

00:47first click.

00:48I mean, if you get the click, you're in the game.

00:50If you don't, you're not.

00:52This brings us to what I like to call the golden formula for success on Amazon.

00:57It's a title that is crystal clear for your customer and perfectly compliant with all

01:02of Amazon's rules.

01:03When you nail both of those things, you unlock better search visibility and, of course, more

01:08sales.

01:08It's really that simple, and we're about to break down exactly how to do it.

01:13Okay, first, let's cover the ground rules.

01:15And let me be really clear here.

01:16These are not suggestions.

01:18They're non-negotiable.

01:19If you break them, you risk getting your listing suppressed, which is just a fancy way of saying

01:23Amazon literally makes your product invisible to shoppers.

01:26So yeah, this first part is absolutely critical.

01:29Rule number one is super simple.

01:31Length.

01:32You have a strict 200-character limit.

01:34The mistake a lot of sellers make is they try to cram everything in there, and it just

01:37becomes this confusing jumble of repetitive words and fluff.

01:41The right way to do it is to be concise and informative, telling the customer exactly

01:45what they need to know without all that extra noise.

01:48Now, while 200 characters is the absolute max, the real magic number you should be aiming

01:52for is 80.

01:54So why 80?

01:54Well, it's because that's usually all that's visible on a phone before the title gets cut

01:59off.

01:59And if you want to capture all those mobile shoppers, and trust me, there are a lot of

02:03them, you've got to get the good stuff in before that 80-character mark.

02:07Next up, absolutely no promotional words.

02:10I'm talking about phrases like free shipping, bestseller, or 100% quality guaranteed.

02:16These are totally forbidden in the title.

02:18Amazon wants facts, not marketing hype.

02:21So instead of saying it's a bestseller, describe why it might be one.

02:25Point out its features, like stainless steel and auto shutoff.

02:28All right, next, you've got to watch your symbols.

02:31Amazon's title field is a clean zone.

02:34That means no exclamation points, no dollar signs, no weird characters.

02:39Using them just looks unprofessional and can actually get your listing flagged.

02:43Just stick to commas to separate your ideas.

02:45It keeps it looking professional and easy to read.

02:47And our final must-follow rule, avoid aggressive repetition.

02:52Repeating a keyword over and over again, it's a tactic called keyword stuffing, is a huge

02:58red flag.

02:59It looks spammy to customers, and it looks spammy to Amazon's algorithm.

03:02So instead of saying baby boy three times, use that valuable space to highlight key features,

03:07like cotton full-sleeve sales.

03:09Okay, so you know the rules to avoid getting your listing shut down.

03:12Now, let's kick it up a notch.

03:14We're going to go from just being compliant to creating a title that actually works hard

03:18to sell your product.

03:20These are the best practices that'll make your listing truly stand out from the crowd.

03:24So how do you actually structure all this information?

03:27Well, there's a proven formula that works because it follows how customers actually

03:31think and shop.

03:32You start with the brand, then the style, the product name, a standout key feature, and

03:38then you get into the specifics like color and size.

03:40This sequence just instantly builds a clear picture on the buyer's mind.

03:44Let's talk about capitalization for a sec.

03:47It seems small, I know, but it's all about professionalism.

03:50You should capitalize the first letter of each major word.

03:54But please, whatever you do, do not use all caps.

03:57It just feels like you're shouting at the customer.

04:00And remember to keep those little connecting words, like and, for, or with, in lowercase.

04:06Here's a super quick and easy win.

04:08Use digits, not words, for numbers.

04:11A customer's eye can scan and register the number 5 so much faster than the word 5.

04:16It makes your title way more scannable and efficient, which is crucial when a buyer is

04:20just scrolling through dozens of options.

04:23Oh, this is a big one.

04:24You have to avoid subjective, opinion-based words like best, amazing, or cheapest.

04:29Let's be honest.

04:31Customers are pretty skeptical of those claims anyway.

04:34So the key is to replace those fluffy words with hard, factual features.

04:38Don't just say it's best quality.

04:40Tell them it's one leader and leak-proof.

04:42Let the facts do the selling for you.

04:44All right, we've covered a lot of theory.

04:47Now, let's see how this all works in the real world.

04:49We're going to look at some examples and actually transform a weak title into a powerful

04:53sales-driving one right before your eyes.

04:56Just look at this transformation.

04:58The original title is a total mess, right?

05:01It's full of subjective claims and forbidden phrases like free shipping.

05:04But the corrected version?

05:05It's clean.

05:06It's powerful.

05:07It's specific, telling the customer it comes with a dia and incense holder, and even

05:12adds a valuable detail like gold finish.

05:14It replaces all that hype with genuinely helpful information.

05:18But what happens if your product comes in multiple colors or sizes?

05:22This is where variations come in.

05:24Think of it like a family.

05:25The parent listing is the main product, like Amazon Essentials t-shirt.

05:30Then the child listings are all the specific variations, the white, medium version, the blue,

05:35large version, and so on.

05:37The key is to keep the parent title generic and put all those specific details only in the

05:43child titles.

05:44We're almost done, but I really want to tackle a few common questions that we see all

05:47the time.

05:48So let's run through a quickfire FAQ to clear up any lingering doubts you might have.

05:53First up, this is a great question.

05:56What happens if your actual registered brand name has a special character in it?

06:00One that's normally not allowed in the title.

06:03Are you in trouble?

06:04And the answer is simple.

06:05You're safe.

06:06That special character rule for titles does not apply to the dedicated brand field in

06:10your listing.

06:11So you just enter your brand name correctly in that specific spot and you'll be totally

06:15fine.

06:16Okay, this is the one that keeps sellers up at night.

06:19How can you even tell if your listing has been hidden or suppressed because you messed

06:24up the title?

06:25Thankfully, Amazon makes it pretty easy to check.

06:28You just log into Seller Central, go to Manage Inventory, and then look for the view called

06:32Search Suppressed and Inactive Listings.

06:34If your product is sitting on that list, it's definitely time to review your title against

06:38all the rules we just talked about.

06:40So let's bring it all home.

06:43If you remember just one thing from all of this, make it this.

06:47A clear, compliant title isn't just a label.

06:50It's the front door to your product page, and it is the key to unlocking better visibility

06:54and ultimately higher sales on Amazon.

06:57And that brings us to the end.

06:59So I'll leave you with a little call to action.

07:01After everything we've covered, go take a look at your own listings.

07:05I want you to ask yourself, which one of my product titles am I going to fix first?

07:09Thanks for joining me for this explainer.
