# **🔍 Overview**

When OTTO generates page titles, the default output may not always match your preferred character length for SEO. If your titles are consistently too long or too short, you can guide OTTO's output by providing a plain-language instruction in the AI settings for your project. This article explains how to approach that configuration.

# **🗺️ How to Access OTTO's AI Settings**

To adjust how OTTO generates page titles, navigate to the OTTO SEO section of your Search Atlas account:

1. Log in to your Search Atlas account.
2. In the left sidebar, locate and click the **OTTO SEO** section.
3. Select the website or project you are working on.
4. Look for the settings area where you can provide custom or additional instructions for AI-generated content. The exact label for this field may vary depending on your account configuration — if you are unsure which field to use, contact support for guidance specific to your interface version.

# **✏️ How to Set a Title Length Constraint**

Once you have located the appropriate instructions field in your project's AI settings, type a plain-language instruction that specifies your desired title length. Here are examples you can use or adapt:

- **Shorter titles:***"Generate page titles that are no longer than 60 characters, including spaces."*
- **Tighter range:***"Keep all page titles between 50 and 60 characters."*
- **Strict maximum:***"Page titles must not exceed 55 characters. Do not truncate words — rewrite the title to fit."*

Be as specific as possible. When instructions are saved, OTTO treats them as standing rules that apply to titles it generates for that project going forward.

# **💾 Save and Regenerate**

1. After typing your instruction, save your changes using the save option in the interface.
2. Return to your project's task or page list.
3. Find the page title tasks you want to update and trigger regeneration so OTTO applies your new instructions to the output.
4. Titles that were already accepted or published will not update automatically — you only need to regenerate pending or draft title tasks.

# **🔗 WordPress Integration Notes**

If your site is connected via the OTTO WordPress plugin, updated titles generated after you save your instructions should sync to WordPress when you publish or push changes from your task list. If you experience any sync issues after updating your title instructions, contact support with your project name and a description of the behavior you are seeing so the team can investigate.
