# Product Title SEO for Beginners: The 5-Minute Primer

If you've never touched product title SEO before, here's the version without the jargon.

Shopping algorithms and on-site search both parse product titles as structured data, not prose — which is why the boring 'Brand + Product Type + Key Attribute' format consistently outperforms a clever, brand-voice-heavy title.

You don't need to understand everything about it on day one. Start with just this: front-load the most important, most-searched attribute (size, color, model) since some platforms truncate titles after 70 characters on mobile.

The most common beginner mistake is skipping it entirely because it sounds technical. It usually isn't — product title SEO is one of those things that looks intimidating from the outside and takes ten minutes once you actually sit down with it.

Once this feels comfortable, product feed validation is a natural next thing to learn.

Product Title Optimizer is the fastest way to see it in action on a real page.
