Product Title Checker

The title exceeds the maximum length for at least one selected marketplace. Over-length titles are rejected or suppressed from search results rather than simply trimmed.

Fix: Put the words buyers search for first, then cut from the end: redundant adjectives, repeated brand mentions, and packaging trivia.

The title fits the hard limit but exceeds the length that actually displays in search results — the tail gets cut mid-phrase on mobile.

Fix: Front-load the essentials: brand, product type, the one attribute that differentiates it.

Under 20 characters gives search engines almost nothing to match against. Titles this short usually omit the product type or key attributes buyers type.

Fix: Add the product type and one or two defining attributes (size, material, quantity).

Gratuitous capitalisation is prohibited by most marketplace style guides and is a frequent cause of listing suppression. Acronyms (USB, LED, XL) and single letters are fine.

Fix: Use title case: capitalise the first letter of each significant word.

An all-lowercase title reads as unfinished data rather than a product name, and some marketplaces normalise it inconsistently across surfaces.

Fix: Use title case.

Runs like "!!!", "***", "~~~" or "|||" are treated as promotional decoration. They consume length, are not searched for, and violate style guides.

Fix: Use a single separator (a comma or a hyphen) between phrases.

Emoji are not permitted in marketplace titles. They also cost 4 bytes each and are never typed by buyers in search.

Fix: Remove the emoji.

Most style guides prohibit ™, ® and © in titles — they are not searchable and cause rejections on several marketplaces.

Fix: Remove the symbol; the brand name alone is sufficient.

Zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces and BOM markers are invisible in your editor but become part of the stored title, breaking exact-match lookups and sometimes word splitting.

Fix: Retype the affected part of the title.

Full-width Latin letters and digits (ＡＢＣ, １２３) arrive from CJK input methods. They look almost identical to normal characters but never match what buyers type.

Fix: Convert them to standard half-width characters.

CJK, Cyrillic, Arabic or other non-Latin characters in a title meant for an English-language marketplace are almost always leftovers from translation or a supplier spreadsheet — including the CJK comma "，" and full-width brackets.

Fix: Replace them with their English equivalents.

Titles must describe the product, not the offer. "Free shipping", "sale", "best price", "% off", "hot deal" and similar phrasing are prohibited across marketplaces and are a common suppression trigger.

Fix: Move promotional messaging into a promotion or the description.

Subjective superlatives ("best", "amazing", "perfect", "#1") carry no search value and are prohibited by most style guides. Buyers search for attributes, not adjectives.

Fix: Replace with a concrete attribute: material, capacity, compatibility, certification.

A word repeated in the title wastes length without improving matching — marketplaces index each word once.

Fix: Remove the repetition and spend the characters on an attribute you have not mentioned yet.

Phone numbers, email addresses and URLs in a title violate every marketplace policy and can lead to account-level enforcement, not just a rejected listing.

Fix: Remove them entirely.

The title contains leftover template content ("{{product_name}}", "TBD", "N/A", "test", "lorem ipsum"). These reach live listings surprisingly often.

Fix: Replace with the real product title.
