# Product Title Optimizer: Common Mistakes and Best Practices

Most problems with product Title Optimizer aren't caused by not knowing what to do — they're caused by small, easy-to-miss mistakes that compound quietly over time. Here are the ones that come up most often.

Mistake 1: Writing titles like ad headlines ('Amazing Comfort You'll Love!') instead of the structured, attribute-first format shopping search actually parses well.

Mistake 2: Omitting size, color, or model number from the title and burying it only in the description, where structured search can't weight it as heavily.

Mistake 3: Using a different title format on every sales channel, making cross-channel performance impossible to compare apples-to-apples.

The fix for most of these isn't more effort, it's a regular check. A few habits that prevent them from creeping back in:
- Keep titles consistent across your own site, Google Shopping, and marketplaces you sell on — inconsistency fragments the signal each channel builds up.
- Avoid ALL CAPS or excessive punctuation for emphasis — most platforms' style guidelines flag it, and some will reject the listing outright.
