The title keyword position rule is one of the most commonly violated visibility principles on Vinted, because the instinct to write 'Beautiful handmade...' or 'Gorgeous vintage...' is a human instinct — we're trained to open with an engaging word. Vinted's search algorithm doesn't respond to engaging; it responds to early keyword relevance. The buyers searching for your listing type on Vinted are typing 'Levi's jeans,' 'Nike Air Max,' 'midi wrap dress' — they're searching for the object, not an adjective about the object.
A title that opens with those search terms will rank higher than a title that buries them after positional filler, even when everything else about the listings is identical. The structure to memorise is brand first, item type second, key attribute third, then size and colour, then anything else. The adjectives — vintage, barely worn, excellent condition — go at the end, not the beginning, because they have near-zero search value in position 1 but some descriptive value to a buyer who has already found the listing via keyword match.
Run the audit on your existing listings: search each item type in Vinted as a buyer would and look at where your listing appears in the results. Then look at the top-five results and compare their title structures to yours. In most cases, the top-ranking listings will have brand or item type in position 1; yours, if it opens with an adjective, will be several positions lower.

VintSnap's title generation defaults to the brand-first, item-type-second structure automatically — the AI parses the photo and item details and places the highest search-weight terms in position 1 and 2, with descriptors appended after the key fields. The audit on existing titles is worth running manually once; every new listing generated through VintSnap is structured correctly from the start.
