Make your Title Headline Grab the Attention of Viewers
When crafting your classified advertisement title, be sure to be descriptive with keywords that specifically relate to your ad and which provide better search results for interested parties.
Use popular search engines to do quick research on the item you are selling or promoting and write a descriptive headline that is short enough to keep people interested in your ad at a quick glance using keywords and phrases that accurately describe your promotion.
Use titles as a lead-in to get people to read further about what you have to offer. In accordance with this practice, make sure your title does not get too lengthy and off topic; stay on focus with what you have to offer to interested parties.
Highlight some of the important variables that will be of immediate interest to interested individuals. Some of the variables that you will want to focus on include: Color, Size, Price, Condition, Location and much more.
Here’s one example of an effective and attention grabbing headline:
Pristine Red Ferrari - 1975 - $25,000 OBO
Expand on your Title with an Accurate, Specific Description
Share the details of your specific listing within the description field for your classified ad. In the description field, outline the specifics of your listing in more detail by using text to paint an accurate picture of the item or promotion that you are creating online.
