Why is having a good listing title important in the marketplace?

Sellers get potential buyers to click and take notice of their listings by attracting them with good listings titles. This is important because the listings page or the search results provide the initial impression of you and your item. It also offers the primary search engine terms that shoppers can use to find your stuff.

Even though it might seem obvious, having quality listing titles is a fact that is frequently ignored. Having noticeable titles for your listing allows customers to choose your product from among dozens or hundreds of rival products discovered through visual search, search tools, or category browsing.

Advantages of having a good listing title

As mentioned, a good listing title is critical in getting more customers to take notice of your online shop and what you have to offer. It helps boost sales to get more eyeballs to check out your listings and gets you to the top of the search engines by using quality keywords that your potential buyers are scouting the marketplace for.

Therefore, having a good title improves your exposure and gives you a higher chance of coming across the right buyer looking to purchase a specific item. It's good for sales and directly impacts the potential buyer's overall buying experience.

Tips on creating a good listing title

When creating a good listing title, sellers should take note of when a buyer begins their purchasing journey; it always starts with a search and a listing. So having an attractive listing title is incredibly beneficial in boosting sales and improving your leads in any marketplace. Here are some tips when creating a listing title:

  • Describe the product in clear, uncomplicated language.
  • Mention specifics like size, color, gender, material, and condition.
  • Include the brand name or the name of the producer or designer.
  • Add the model name (if applicable)

Don't worry about repeating the category name or parts of the description in the title.

Things to avoid when creating your listing title

Making mistakes in creating listing titles is no problem, and a good seller's rule to follow to create attractive and quality titles to attract buyer attention are the following:

  • Eliminate typos! While most people can understand words that have been misspelled, most search engines and classification tools won't pick them up. So be sure to write in only one language, that of the marketplace you are using (e.g., English for eBay.com, French for eBay.fr, etc.). (e.g., English for eBay.com, French for eBay.fr, etc.). Having titles in many languages could classify your product incorrectly
  • Do not use special characters or punctuation
  • Avoid overusing acronyms. All humans and robots must be able to understand your title with ease
  • Don't use language that would cause most marketplaces to ban your listing, such as profanity, providing email addresses or website addresses, or using other such words
  • And most importantly, don't make untrue or deceptive statements. Do not use any brand names other than one of the products you are displaying; doing so is known as "keyword spamming" and is not permitted on any respectable website
