Feed Title Audit
Audits the product titles behind your actual Shopping spend: too-short titles wasting the character budget, identical titles on multiple products, and policy-risky all-caps titles.

Overview
Titles are the strongest lever in Shopping — they decide which queries a product enters. Feed Title Audit examines the titles of products that actually spent money in the window and flags three problems, each ranked by spend so fixes pay off fastest: titles under your minimum length (wasting the ~150-character budget; Brand + Product Type + Key Attributes is the working formula), identical titles across multiple item IDs (variants missing size/color — indistinguishable to Google and shoppers alike), and fully capitalized titles (a Merchant Center policy risk).

Notes
Titles come from the Shopping performance data, so only products with traffic in the window are audited — fix the spenders first, then re-run with a longer window for the tail. Title changes go in Merchant Center (or via supplemental feed rules), not in Google Ads.
