Channel title formula

Brand + product type + differentiator + variant details. Keep the source truth separate from channel-specific rewrites.

Feed readiness plan

Validate SKU, title, description, brand, price, inventory, image URLs, GTIN/MPN, product category, variant grouping, and channel-specific required fields before publishing.

What should the first preview image show?

Lead with the actual product or a realistic mockup that makes the file type obvious, then keep the text short enough that the buyer can understand it quickly.

What extra image helps digital buyers most?

An included-files or what-you-get graphic helps buyers see the file count, format, and delivery method before they scroll into the description.

What should I avoid in preview images?

Avoid misleading props, generic screenshots, or design claims that suggest broader compatibility or performance than the file actually supports.
