What earns each verdict

Same outcomes on every UXFix rule · how verdicts work
✓ Pass5

Title contains brand + descriptive terms (e.g., 'Nike Air Max 90 Running Shoes').

~ Partial27

Title has descriptors but no brand, or brand but no description.

✕ Fail7

Title is a bare SKU or single word.

not assessable is recorded when the rule applied but the store could not be judged on it (bot protection, a region lock, a step we could not reach), and not applicable when the store has nothing for the rule to judge. Those stores are left out of every number on this page, never guessed. Why we do that
Why it matters

The product title is missing the brand name, the product type, or key descriptors that help shoppers understand what they are looking at.

Titles like "Model 3092" or "Plugin v3.2" mean nothing to a first-time visitor. In search results and shared links, a good title decides whether people click.

That sentence is the one a failing store sees in its own UXFix report.How rules are weighted and scored

Score gain is roughly what a fail-to-pass change adds; rules that could not be judged are left out, which can move it a little. Re-run a free audit after the change ships to confirm the verdict moved.

What our auditors say about this rule

A title that is only a product code tells the shopper nothing, and tells a search engine less.
