Website short titles are the titles that appear on the product pages and in search results. Website short titles are one of the most important pieces of content for customers because it tells them what the SKU is. Therefore it is essential that sellers are more conscientious about the website’s short title. Many times a customer may only read the website’s short title and glance at the SKU image before making a decision on whether it is an item they may want to purchase. Website short titles that are less readable or do not clearly communicate what the SKU has a much lower chance of being purchased.
