Amazon’s shorter title limit reflects a broader change in how consumers discover and evaluate products online. As mobile shopping, conversational prompts, and AI assistants reshape search, brands must create content that works for both people and algorithms. How can they adapt without sacrificing visibility or conversion?

The answer is to treat concise titles as part of a wider shift toward prompt-based, agent-assisted shopping, according to Christian Rich, an expert in agentic commerce and digital shelf strategy. Brands should write clear, human-friendly titles, move valuable keywords and product details into structured content, and identify the category questions AI tools are prompting shoppers to ask. Christian also recommends making product pages specific enough for assistants to confidently match products with detailed consumer requests. By connecting marketplace content with broader AI-discovery strategies, brands can improve their chances of being surfaced, recommended, and selected.

In this episode of The Digital Deep Dive, Aaron Conant talks with Christian Rich, Founding US Sales Lead at Azoma, about Amazon’s new 75-character title limit and the rise of AI-assisted shopping. Christian explores cleaner titles, structured item highlights, and prompt-ready product content. He also examines Alexa-driven discovery and the connection between retailer pages and ChatGPT visibility.

Quotable Moments:

  • “Most of the people that are shopping on Amazon have shifted to their mobile phone to shop.”
  • “Amazon is basically going to change your titles for you if you don't change them yourself.”
  • “Just make it something that actually is human appealing.”
  • “Well, if it's not on your content page, it's on somebody else's product page.”
  • “Your content on places like Walmart or Target actually matters for ChatGPT.”

Action Steps:

  1. Write titles for shoppers, not algorithms: Keeping product titles clear, concise, and human-friendly improves mobile readability while supporting cleaner AI-driven shopping experiences.
  2. Move valuable keywords into structured content: Using item highlights and detailed product-page fields preserves search relevance without overcrowding titles.
  3. Answer the questions shoppers are likely to ask: Building content around category-specific prompts helps AI assistants understand products and recommend them more accurately.
  4. Make product details explicit and easy to parse: Clearly stating dimensions, compatibility, features, and use cases gives shopping agents the information they need to match products with specific requests.
  5. Align retailer content with broader AI discovery: Strengthening product pages across Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other channels can improve visibility in ChatGPT and other conversational search tools.
