Amazon New Title Policy changes
Regarding this requirement - Titles may not contain the same word more than twice.
does compounding is considered as using the same keyword?
for example, if using "flash light", does using the compounded keyword "flashlight" is considered to be using the same keyword twice? or they are considered two different keywords when used in title?

Do you think that will make a difference when Amazon left out of the notice the Most important part?
Can you make a change to their listing title now?

Hello @Seller_wSp5qxFtsnXUc,
Thanks for the post. Over time, we’ve observed that product titles have become longer, and they sometimes include redundant wording or characters that can decrease customer confidence. These new policy changes will help ensure that product titles are clear, concise, and consistent.
The following new requirements will take effect on January 21, 2025:
- For most product categories, titles may not exceed 200 characters, including spaces.
- The special characters !, $, ?, _, {, }, ^, ¬, and ¦ are not allowed, unless they are part of the brand name.
- Titles may not contain the same word more than twice. Prepositions, articles, and conjunctions are exceptions.
If you have titles that do not comply with the requirements listed above, we recommend that you update them.
Starting January 21, all title changes will be subject to the updated policy, and you'll be able to view and fix any non-compliant titles in Manage All Inventory.
Additionally, we'll provide override suggestions for non-compliant titles to brand owners in Review Listing Updates. Brand owners will have 14 days to act upon on the suggestions before we update the titles to comply with our requirements. These suggestions will be rolled out gradually.
Your listings will remain active during this process, and you’ll still be able to make edits to your product titles as long as your changes comply with the new policy.
For more information, including character limits by product category and store, go to Product title requirements and guidelines.
Cheers,
Micah
