Product pages are landing pages
Unlike a marketplace listing, a Shopify product page has to win the click from Google and then do the selling on its own. That means a clear opening line that names the product, a scannable list of benefits, the details that remove doubt (size, materials, shipping, returns) and a meta description of about 150–160 characters.
Write unique copy for every product. Manufacturer descriptions copied across hundreds of stores give Google no reason to rank yours.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a Shopify product description be?
+
Most Shopify product descriptions work well at 150–400 words: a short opening paragraph, a scannable list of benefits, and the details that answer objections such as size, materials, shipping and returns. Simple products need less. What matters is answering the questions a shopper would otherwise leave the page to find.
Should I use the manufacturer's description?
+
Avoid it if you can. Manufacturer descriptions appear on every store that sells the product, so Google has no reason to rank your page above the others. Rewrite the copy in your own words, add details from your own photos or testing, and focus on the customer you actually sell to.
What is a Shopify meta description?
+
A meta description is the short summary, set in the product's search engine listing section in Shopify admin, that Google may show under your page title in search results. Keep it to about 150–160 characters, include the product name and main benefit, and write it to earn the click rather than to repeat keywords.
