Official title requirements for Amazon sellers

Among the SEO optimization elements of the entire Listing, the “title” always occupies the highest weight, and it is also the focus of sellers to optimize the Listing.

Official title requirements

  • Title must not exceed 200 characters, including spaces;
  • The title must not contain promotional phrases, such as free shipping, 100% quality guaranteed;
  • The title must not contain characters used for decoration, such as ~ ! * $ ? _ ~ {}#〈〉|*; ^ ;
  • The title must contain information that identifies the product, such as hiking boots or umbrellas;
  • A combination of title elements, such as brand name + model + product type + size + quantity + material + color.

Example

  • Kitchen appliances – Vacu Vin Wine Saver Gift Pack White (brand/model/type/color);
  • Bath towel – Martex Atelier Hand Blue Moon (brand/style/material/model/color);
  • Tableware set——Spiegelau Authentis Collection Burgundy Wine Glasses Set of 6 (brand/style/product model/quantity).

Length and DPM rules

Although the official upper limit for titles is 200 characters, the titles of some product categories are required to be 80 characters. Therefore, the title length is set at 150 to 180 characters. When there are variations in the Listing, the specific category will use the platform’s DPM/DCM rules to secondary limit the display of the title.
