Most product titles fail one of two jobs: either they keyword-stuff and read like spam, or they’re cute and never surface in search. The good ones contain the primary keyword, name the buyer outcome, and respect the character cap of the platform they ship on. These 12 prompts pull both levers at once. Pair with product description prompts once a title wins.
Best for
- Amazon listings
- Etsy listings
- Shopify / DTC stores
- eBay / marketplace
- TikTok Shop product cards
1. Amazon-style title formula
Product: {name + brief}. Primary keyword: {keyword}. Secondary keywords: {list 2-3}.
Generate 8 Amazon titles following the structure: Brand + Product Type + Key Feature + Size/Color + Pack Size.
Rules: ≤200 chars, no all-caps, no promotional language ("BEST", "#1"), primary keyword in first 80 chars.
Output a table: title | char count | which secondary keyword(s) included.2. Etsy title (mobile-first)
Etsy product: {description}. Generate 6 mobile-friendly titles.
Constraints: first 50 chars must carry the punch (mobile crops there), use 2-3 search terms naturally, include gift / use occasion if relevant, lowercase-friendly.
For each, list the 3 search terms it targets and the occasion it implies.3. Shopify-style title (conversion-first)
DTC Shopify store. Product: {paste 2-sentence description}.
Write 5 titles that lead with the customer outcome, not feature jargon.
Example contrast: "Notebook that survives your bag" (outcome) vs "A5 hardcover notebook" (feature).
Each title: outcome phrase + 1 concrete feature hint. ≤60 chars. No exclamation marks.4. Comparative title for sets / bundles
I sell {item} as singles AND as a 3-pack. Write distinct titles for each SKU that won't cannibalize each other in search.
Single: emphasize gift / trial / first-time buyer.
Pack: emphasize value / household / restock.
Keep the core keyword in both. Output: SKU | title | which buyer intent it captures.5. Title rewrite for thin / weak listings
Below is my current product title (underperforming on CTR). Rewrite 5 different ways.
For each rewrite, give: (a) what changed (keyword position / structure / hook / specificity), (b) one-line hypothesis on why CTR should rise, (c) which metric to watch in the first 7 days.
Current title: {paste}
Category context: {paste}6. Holiday / season variant titles
Base product: {item}. Primary keyword: {keyword}.
Generate 4 season-specific title variants for: Christmas, Mother's Day, Back-to-school, Valentine's Day.
Rules: keep core keyword, swap in gift / season language, do not exceed base title's char count.
For each variant, suggest the listing-active window (e.g., "live Oct 15 → Dec 24").7. Cross-platform title adaptation
Adapt this Amazon title for three platforms. Same product, different conventions:
- Etsy: shorter, gift-focused, occasion-aware
- eBay: specs-forward, model/size up front
- TikTok Shop: hook + outcome, no keyword-stuffing
Amazon title: {paste}
For each platform output: adapted title | char count | which platform convention it follows.8. Title A/B test pairs
Generate 5 A/B title pairs for the product below. Each pair tests exactly ONE variable. State the hypothesis explicitly.
Test variables to choose from: keyword position (front vs back), length (short vs full-cap), benefit-led vs feature-led, with-number vs without-number, brand-first vs product-first.
Output: pair # | variant A | variant B | hypothesis | success metric.
Product description: {paste}9. Long-tail keyword title
Product: {item}. Long-tail keyword research below (paste).
Write 6 titles that each target a different long-tail phrase from the list — not the head term.
Each title: long-tail phrase in first 60 chars + product type + one differentiator.
List which long-tail it targets, monthly search volume, and competition score per title.
Keyword research: {paste}10. Title for a rebrand / repositioning
I'm repositioning {product} from {old positioning} to {new positioning}.
Old title: {paste}. Write 5 new titles that signal the new positioning while keeping enough keyword overlap that existing organic traffic doesn't collapse.
For each: which keywords were preserved, which buyer signal changed, expected SEO impact in first 30 days.11. Title for a multi-variant listing (color / size)
Parent product: {item} sold in {N variants: colors / sizes}.
Write a parent listing title + 5 child variant titles.
Parent title carries the brand-level keyword. Child titles add the variant attribute up front (e.g., "Navy", "XL") without bloating length.
Show parent and children as a table. Keep child titles ≤120 chars.12. Title audit + scoring rubric
Audit this title against a 5-point rubric: (1) primary keyword in first 80 chars, (2) buyer outcome named, (3) under platform char cap, (4) no keyword-stuffing, (5) no promo language banned by platform.
Score each criterion 0-2 with one-line reasoning. Total / 10. Then rewrite to hit 10/10.
Title: {paste}
Platform: {Amazon / Etsy / Shopify / eBay}Common mistakes
- Keyword-stuffing past readability — Amazon’s algorithm now penalizes it as much as buyers ignore it
- Using the same title across every platform — Etsy buyers and Amazon buyers search differently
- A/B testing without a stated hypothesis, so you can’t learn from the winner
- Burying the long-tail keyword after char 100 where mobile crops it
- Naming the feature instead of the outcome on a DTC store where the buyer doesn’t know your spec language
