Open with product type and use case
The first line should tell a shopper what the product is and when they would use it. This framing also gives search engines a clear topic for the page.
- Start with product type, primary material, and intended use.
- Keep the opening specific enough to stand out from competitors.
Add scannable technical details
Dimensions, ingredients, fit, care, and compatibility details answer the questions that stop a purchase. Present them so a shopper can skim them in seconds.
- Use a short list for measurements, materials, and care.
- Translate features into buying reasons without sounding generic.
- Use natural keyword phrases that match how customers search.
Keep AI drafts human-reviewed
AI copy is a starting point, not a publish button. Drafts belong in a review queue until a merchant confirms tone, facts, and claims.
- Keep AI-generated copy in draft review until approved.
- Verify every material, dimension, and claim before publishing.
- Store the original and the draft so changes are auditable.
