Which keywords survived Amazon's cut?

 

On 27 July, Amazon cut product titles in almost every category from the 200 to 250 characters most brands used down to 75, added a 125-character Item Highlights field, and gave brands 14 days to review its AI-generated rewrites before applying them automatically.

 

Ten days on, Paul Sonneveld sits down live with Teikametrics' Alasdair McLean-Foreman to debrief on what actually happened.

What we'll cover

01

What the July 27 deadline actually changed

75-character titles, the 125-character Item Highlights field, the 14-day approval window — and what Alasdair is seeing across accounts now that it has landed

02

Why the deadline is really about agentic commerce

Alexa for Shopping, conversational queries, and Amazon's race to keep discovery on its own turf

03

Why Amazon's AI can't invent content you never gave it

and why that puts thin, long-tail catalogs most at risk

04

How to use your own Search Query Performance and ads data to decide which keywords earn a place in 75 characters

relevance beats keyword stuffing

05

The listing-to-ad flywheel

better ads produce better listings, which produce better ads — with a real case study on conversion, ROAS, and total sales

06
