# Does Product Title SEO Still Matter in 2026?

Short answer: yes, but not for the reason it used to.

The old thinking was: Writing titles like ad headlines ('Amazing Comfort You'll Love!') instead of the structured, attribute-first format shopping search actually parses well. That framing is dated — search engines have gotten much better at figuring things out without hand-holding. But 'search engines can cope without it' isn't the same as 'it doesn't matter.'

What actually changed is who benefits. Front-load the most important, most-searched attribute (size, color, model) since some platforms truncate titles after 70 characters on mobile. That's less about appeasing an algorithm and more about not wasting the crawl/attention you already have.

The practical test isn't whether it's trendy — it's whether skipping it creates work for someone else later (a crawler, a future you, a user). By that test, product title SEO still earns its place.

Same question, different tool: does Facebook Catalog feed still matter?
