SEO title generator for ecommerce product pages

By Charles Summers · Updated · Free, no signup

Short answer

Product page titles get rewritten by Google more than any other page type, because they are usually stuffed with the keyword twice and the brand once. This tool generates five title options that place the brand and keyword in the patterns Google keeps intact, each with a character count and a pixel-width flag, plus three meta descriptions that lead with the detail a price or rating snippet will not already show, since that space is not wasted twice.

Why ecommerce product pages need a different approach

A product page title is not competing with other blog posts, it is competing with the exact same product listed on Amazon, on the brand's own site, and on three other retailers, all in the same search results page. Google's rewrite behaviour on product pages is aggressive precisely because so many of the original titles it sees are keyword stuffed: the product name twice, a category term bolted on, then the brand crammed in at the end past the pixel cutoff.

This variant of the meta generator defaults to the product page template and orders the options so the brand appears once, near a natural break point, rather than trailing off past 60 characters where it gets truncated or dropped entirely. It also treats the meta description differently: because Google often overlays price and star-rating rich snippets on product results, the description options here lead with the detail that rich snippet will not show, like sizing, materials or shipping terms, instead of repeating the price.

It runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, no account is required, and there is no usage limit, because there is no cost per run to control.

What does the output look like?

This is the exact output the tool produces from the example inputs. It is generated by the same code that runs when you click the button, so what you see here is what you get.

Frequently asked questions

Why does Google keep rewriting my product page title?

Product titles get rewritten more than any other page type because so many of them repeat the keyword, add a category term, then squeeze the brand in past the point Google truncates. When the submitted title reads as keyword-stuffed rather than descriptive, Google frequently substitutes its own version pulled from the H1 or the page content instead of using what you wrote.

Should the brand name go first or last in a product title?

It depends on how recognised the brand is. A well-known brand name earns the click on its own, so it can lead. A newer or less recognised brand should let the keyword lead and put the brand name after a separator near the end, since shoppers scanning a results page are matching on the product term first and the brand second.

Does the meta description matter if Google shows price and star ratings instead?

It still matters, but not for the same job. When a rich snippet already shows price and rating, repeating either in the description wastes the space. The description earns its click by stating the detail the rich snippet cannot show, such as fit, material, warranty or delivery speed, since that is the information a shopper still has to guess at.

How is a product page title different from a landing page title?

A landing page title only has to win against other search results. A product page title has to win against the exact same item listed by other retailers in the same results, often including the manufacturer's own listing, which is why brand placement and a specific, non-generic keyword matter more here than on almost any other page type.
