        Hello,

        Well to me it makes sense to use "oak flooring" in the product titles since that is what it is. Unless you know a better alternative way of describing the product I wouldn't change it.

        Sometimes with e-commerce you end up with a lot of products with almost identical names. In those cases I try to add dimensions, colors, etc to the product titles.

        I have a theory that Google is smart enough to figure out it is an e-commerce site and that a lot of products with almost identical names might be on the same page.

        One thing you could try to rank a little bit better is to the change a couple of product titles (not all) so the title begin with "Oak Flooring".
