Frequently asked questions
Should the brand name go first?
On Amazon, yes — it is convention and aids brand search. On Google Shopping, lead with the product keyword instead.
How often should titles be updated?
Quarterly, or when search terms shift. Frequent edits can temporarily destabilize rankings.
