AI Product Descriptions & SEO Content for Shopify

Writing copy for a product catalog is the work that never ends. Descriptions that are blank or one line long. SEO titles and meta descriptions that were never filled in. Image alt text that doesn't exist. You know it all matters for conversions and search — but writing it by hand, for hundreds of products, is a wall most store owners never get over.

AI can do the first draft. Here's how to use it well.

The problem with writing it all by hand

Good product copy takes time per product, and a catalog has a lot of products. So the copy that exists is uneven, and the copy that doesn't exist just stays missing — quietly costing you search visibility and conversions.

The fix: BulkEditly's AI content generator

BulkEditly includes an AI content generator that can produce:

Product descriptions
SEO titles and meta descriptions
Image alt text

You set the direction — tone, a keyword to include — and it generates content for the products you choose. Crucially, you review and edit every result before anything is applied. You can edit generated text inline, regenerate any item you're not happy with, and only then push the approved content to your store. The AI gives you a strong first draft; you stay the editor.

The AI content generator is available on the Growth and Pro plans (currently in Beta). Every plan includes a 7-day free trial of all features.

Common scenarios

Fill every blank description: Generate first-draft descriptions for products that have none, then refine your hero products by hand.
SEO meta in bulk: Generate meta titles and descriptions across the catalog, review, apply.
Alt text for accessibility and SEO: Generate descriptive alt text for product images.
Refresh tired copy: Regenerate descriptions for an old collection that needs a lift.

Staying safe

Nothing the AI writes goes live on its own. You review every generated item, edit it inline, and choose what to apply — and applied content is recorded in History with one-click undo, like any other edit. The AI accelerates the work; it doesn't take the wheel.
