How to handle Amazon's 75-character title limit before Amazon's AI handles it for you

Decision
Who rewrites our titles: us, or Amazon's AI?
Customer signal
“Amazon's rewrite kept our brand name. It dropped the claim that wins the click.”
Action
A title and Item Highlights pair that claims all 200 indexable characters in the customer's own language, before Amazon's compressor claims them for you.

As of July 2026, Amazon caps product titles at 75 characters in most categories and adds Item Highlights: a 125-character field that is searchable, indexed, and displayed beneath the title in search results. Titles left over the cap are rewritten by Amazon's own AI. It keeps your brand name and the core product noun, and drops what it judges redundant. If Item Highlights is left empty, Amazon fills that too. Doing nothing is no longer a neutral choice; it hands Amazon the decision about which of your keywords survive.

Action Signal writes the pair instead. It reads your reviews at the aspect level, clusters real search demand, and reads your category leaders in full, then produces a title and Item Highlights that together claim the full 200 indexable characters in the language your customers already use, with unapproved claims stripped before they ship. The two fields are written as a pair, because judging a 60-character title without its Highlights misreads the listing.

The same rewrite engine is currently beating incumbent titles in live A/B tests inside Amazon's own testing environment.

Does Amazon really rewrite titles over 75 characters?

Yes, as of late July 2026, in every category except Media. How and when changes surface can vary by account, so check your own Seller Central for specifics.

What are Item Highlights?

A 125-character field shown beneath the title in search results. It is indexed for search and distinct from your bullet points. Left empty, Amazon populates it for you.

Our titles are already under 75 characters. Are we fine?

Not automatically. An under-cap title with no Highlights leaves indexable characters unclaimed, and unclaimed surface is what Amazon fills on your behalf.

Make this call with evidence, not a guess.
