It\u2019s a blurb, usually of up to 300 words, that describes your product, what it does, how it works, and why you should buy it.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds simple, but there\u2019s a difference between writing technical jargon no one understands (or cares about) and writing in an engaging way that draws people in and keeps them reading. You\u2019ll master that difference by the time you\u2019re done here today.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Why product descriptions matter<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A solid product description is the difference between a website visitor purchasing your products and not.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s your opportunity to sell to the prospective customer. By telling them why they need your product and how it will enrich their lives, they should hopefully feel inspired to purchase immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, product descriptions influence your conversion rate. If you spot a lot of abandoned carts, you have about a billion different areas you can check, from your marketing to your website design and sales message, but don\u2019t forget to review your descriptions. They could use some optimization.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of optimization, well-put-together descriptions also positively influence SEO. Inserting the keywords you\u2019ve researched naturally into the content will signal search engines to rank you for that term.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/customer-profile\/\">Read more: Customer Profile &#8212; How to Create One Using CRM Software<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Elements_of_a_Great_Product_Description\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Key Elements of a Great Product Description<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into the many elements required to make your product descriptions shine.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Target audience identification<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve got to know who you\u2019re writing for. And no, the answer isn\u2019t search engines, even if you want a high rank. It\u2019s people.<\/p>\n<p>However, not just any people. You need to dig into your audience\u2019s pain points, opinions, needs, beliefs, and budget to determine who among them are the most viable candidates to purchase your product.<\/p>\n<p><em>Those <\/em>are the people you need to write for. Build a customer avatar or persona to put a face and name on this group, then write with that person in mind.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Features<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At the very least, your description needs to discuss what your product is and what it does. You can also use the features section to explain how it works.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this straightforward information, now is not the time for a boring, formulaic copy. You must keep the entire description engaging if you want people to read to the end.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Benefits<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Here is the real star of your product description. Your reader knows what the product does by now, but why do they need it? This is what the benefits section is all about.<\/p>\n<p>As you describe a feature, you can naturally attach a benefit to it.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you sell a vacuum cleaner with a pet hair nozzle, the benefit is no more pet hair floating around the house and getting on your clothes and furniture.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Tone and branding<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your product description must be branded, as that\u2019s part of what makes it unique (you know, besides your products). That means using the right tone.<\/p>\n<p>You should have already identified your brand tone, but if you haven\u2019t, here are some directions to take it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Formal<\/li>\n<li>Authoritative<\/li>\n<li>Funny<\/li>\n<li>Friendly<\/li>\n<li>Informative<\/li>\n<li>Optimistic<\/li>\n<li>Mysterious<\/li>\n<li>Professional<\/li>\n<li>Informal<\/li>\n<li>Straightforward<\/li>\n<li>Heroic<\/li>\n<li>Conversational<\/li>\n<li>Down-to-earth<\/li>\n<li>Dry<\/li>\n<li>Sympathetic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Besides your brand voice, the graphics used on your page should also be branded. That means including your brand logo and colors. Strong <a href=\"https:\/\/www.design.com\/logo-maker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">logo design<\/a> helps reinforce brand identity and make your page instantly recognizable to your audience.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a catchphrase or saying, that should also go into your description.<\/p>\n<p>Branding consistency is important in establishing and strengthening your brand in people\u2019s minds, so if you have multiple people on your team, they must be aware of your brand.

At some point, you have to let your products speak for themselves. Consider adding an explainer video if your descriptions are too long and you aren\u2019t sure what to cut out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Visual media<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your product description requires visual media to sell your product. At the very least, you need images of the product in question, but videos are also beneficial. After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneday.com\/blog\/21-stats-that-prove-why-video-marketing-just-works#:~:text=Product%20Video%20Influence%3A%20Close%20to,decision%20to%20choose%20your%20brand.\">almost half of internet users<\/a> will look for a product video before they buy.<\/p>\n<p>The visual media included on your product page should be high-res but compressed enough that it improves the loading speed of your site (more on that later when I talk about SEO optimization for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/product-landing-pages\/\">product pages<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Images and videos should show your product from various angles and, in the case of videos, how the product is used. This proves that anyone can pick up and use your product and begin benefitting from it immediately.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-seo\/\">Read also: A Complete eCommerce SEO Guide for Beginners<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SEO_Best_Practices_for_Product_Descriptions\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">SEO Best Practices for Product Descriptions<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What kinds of keywords do you use in your product pages? How you answer that question could be the difference between ranking well or landing on the second page of results, where you\u2019re practically invisible.<\/p>\n<p>Search engine results are not random. Crawlers for Google and other search engines will review various criteria to determine your rank, one of which is keyword usage and the other of which is metadata.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll explain both so you can optimize your product pages for better SEO rankings.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Keyword research and placement<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The keywords you target can influence where your eCommerce store website ranks, so you can\u2019t choose just any term. You need to find the terms your audience is looking for, which means starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-keyword-research\/\">keyword research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tools like Google Trends, Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Google Keyword Planner can help you discover relevant terms your audience searches for. As you begin unearthing keywords, you\u2019ll notice that some have higher difficulty than others.<\/p>\n<p>Keyword difficulty refers to how much search volume a term gets. A high-difficulty term with a difficulty score of 61% to 100% has a lot of steep competition. That can make it tougher for a newer eCommerce site like yours to rank well for that term.<\/p>\n<p>While low-difficulty terms between 0% and 30% might seem the right answer, they aren\u2019t always. These terms are sometimes bereft of competition because no one searches for them.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, aim for terms with a medium difficulty between 31% and 60%. These keywords have some competition but not so much that it\u2019s insurmountable for a small eCommerce store like yourself to break in.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve identified the right keywords to target, you have to place them properly. So, where do they go? Here are some places for your terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Page title<\/li>\n<li>URL<\/li>\n<li>Meta descriptions<\/li>\n<li>In the body content, especially within the first 200 words<\/li>\n<li>Alt tags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It would be best if you didn\u2019t use your keywords excessively, as that\u2019s known as keyword stuffing. Search engines penalize that behavior rather than reward it. When adding keywords to the body copy especially, you should only use them in a product description once or twice, tops.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Meta descriptions<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A meta description is a short, succinct overview of your product within 150 and 160 characters. While you can use AI to generate them, they don\u2019t always come out as good as needed. You\u2019ll probably have to improve the content a little.<\/p>\n<p>A good meta description uses your keyword and motivates people to keep reading.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/ecommerce-marketing\/\">Read more: eCommerce Marketing &#8212; 8 Fantastic Strategies for Success<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Writing_Techniques_for_Engaging_Descriptions\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Writing Techniques for Engaging Descriptions<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By now, you\u2019ve got the bones of your product description ready to go. Now, you need to make it appealing so your audience can\u2019t wait to learn more about your products. That involves using these techniques.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Storytelling<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Every brand is unique, meaning it has a special story. Product descriptions allow you to share your story, draw people in, and inspire them to try your brand.<\/p>\n<p>Weaving a narrative into your product descriptions should always make the customer the hero of the story with your business as a helpful guide to get them the results they want.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Sensory words<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The trouble with online shopping is that people can\u2019t hold a product in their hands, feel its weight, and see its shine. They can\u2019t rub their fingers over its texture and turn it on. They have to rely on videos and images.<\/p>\n<p>Incorporating sensory words into your product description is like putting the product in the prospective customer\u2019s hands. That, combined with AR \u201ctry before you buy\u201d previews, will help them make a purchasing decision they can feel confident and proud of.<\/p>\n<p>What kinds of sensory words will have the most impact? That depends on which of the senses you\u2019re trying to invoke.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you specialize in snacks or treats, you can whet a reader\u2019s appetite by using taste-related sensory terms like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nutty<\/li>\n<li>Acidic<\/li>\n<li>Tart<\/li>\n<li>Sour<\/li>\n<li>Sweet<\/li>\n<li>Spicy<\/li>\n<li>Bitter<\/li>\n<li>Seasoned<\/li>\n<li>Crisp<\/li>\n<li>Tangy<\/li>\n<li>Fruity<\/li>\n<li>Robust<\/li>\n<li>Mature<\/li>\n<li>Hearty<\/li>\n<li>Charred<\/li>\n<li>Aged<\/li>\n<li>Creamy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And if yours is a touch-based product, use the following sensory words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pillowy<\/li>\n<li>Waxy<\/li>\n<li>Stiff<\/li>\n<li>Cold<\/li>\n<li>Hot<\/li>\n<li>Springy<\/li>\n<li>Slimy<\/li>\n<li>Prickly<\/li>\n<li>Hard<\/li>\n<li>Soft<\/li>\n<li>Silky<\/li>\n<li>Impenetrable<\/li>\n<li>Rough<\/li>\n<li>Smooth<\/li>\n<li>Glossy<\/li>\n<li>Firm<\/li>\n<li>Elastic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Does your eCommerce store sell items that are known for their lovely aromas? Try the following olfactory-related sensory terms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Earthy<\/li>\n<li>Natural<\/li>\n<li>Powerful<\/li>\n<li>Smoky<\/li>\n<li>Minty<\/li>\n<li>Fresh<\/li>\n<li>Fruity<\/li>\n<li>Spicy<\/li>\n<li>Sweet<\/li>\n<li>Delicate<\/li>\n<li>Crisp<\/li>\n<li>Aromatic<\/li>\n<li>Citrusy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These sensory terms are related to hearing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rumbling<\/li>\n<li>Thundering<\/li>\n<li>Mellow<\/li>\n<li>Buzzing<\/li>\n<li>Rhythmic<\/li>\n<li>Loud<\/li>\n<li>Quiet<\/li>\n<li>Sweet<\/li>\n<li>Pulsating<\/li>\n<li>Explosive<\/li>\n<li>Peaceful<\/li>\n<li>Humming<\/li>\n<li>Audible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Oh, and don\u2019t forget your basic sight-related sensory words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shiny<\/li>\n<li>Vast<\/li>\n<li>Elegant<\/li>\n<li>Appealing<\/li>\n<li>Minimalist<\/li>\n<li>Spacious<\/li>\n<li>Colorful<\/li>\n<li>Ornate<\/li>\n<li>Light<\/li>\n<li>Dark<\/li>\n<li>Glowing<\/li>\n<li>Bright<\/li>\n<li>Extensive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Formatting<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Writing and publishing a product description aims to get people to read it and make a purchase decision. However, as good as your information is, it will not make a difference if formatted incorrectly. Your bounce rate will still be high.<\/p>\n<p>So, how do you increase it? Let\u2019s take a look!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use bullet points: <\/strong>Did you notice how this article uses bullet points to illustrate points and break up the text? Your product descriptions also need bullets, especially when covering the product features and benefits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add subheads: <\/strong>While you don\u2019t need too many subheads (the product description should only be 300 words, you\u2019ll remember), one or two will keep the product page neat and your marketing copy focused.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whitespace is your friend: <\/strong>Whitespace separates elements and keeps your product page contents neat so readers can focus on the words on the page.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incorporate media: <\/strong>Media is also great for breaking up your written product copy, especially an explainer video or relevant image inserted in the right spot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shorten paragraphs: <\/strong>A paragraph should only be three or four sentences. If yours are too long, they\u2019ll impact readability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/brand-storytelling\/\">Read more: Mastering Brand Storytelling &#8212; Strategies and Examples<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimizing_for_Conversion\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Optimizing for Conversion<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Earning conversions requires a dose of optimization, which is quite a big dose.

Adding social proof to your product descriptions can give you a leg up.<\/p>\n<p>If you have user-generated content or UGC, put it front and center. The same goes for testimonials and reviews. And if you don\u2019t have any social proof yet, you need to get it first.<\/p>\n<p>Contact potential buyers or those who recently purchased your product and ask if they will take five minutes to leave you a review. Offer an incentive, such as 10% off their next order.<\/p>\n<p>And why does social proof matter, you ask?&nbsp;Well, <a href=\"https:\/\/wisernotify.com\/blog\/social-proof-statistics\/\">70% of consumers<\/a> trust the opinions of their fellow strangers, and 92% trust the opinions of their friends.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, there\u2019s more trust among fellow customers than in your words as a company trying to make money. You need that social proof to signify to prospective customers that your product is worth buying.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Trust signals<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can bolster your social proof through trust signals. If your business has any relevant certifications or awards, share them above the fold. It would be best to have a clear return policy on the product page.<\/p>\n<p>Does your eCommerce company offer guarantees? Put this information on the product page as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mobile optimization<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It shouldn\u2019t be surprising that most consumers who connect with your page will do so through mobile. If your product pages aren\u2019t ready to accommodate them, you will lose them, probably forever.<\/p>\n<p>While mobile optimization goes beyond what\u2019s in your product descriptions and includes the product pages, it\u2019s still something to build into your preparation before your next promotional campaign.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Testing<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While at it, be sure to A\/B test your product pages before they go live. Sometimes, rearranging specific elements and making other small tweaks is all it takes for better audience reception. In other cases, you need the entire product page overhauled.<\/p>\n<p>The only way to be sure is to test. Using a sample audience to gauge your page\u2019s performance is always better than your real audience. They\u2019ll only see the best version of your product descriptions.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"fasc-button fasc-size-medium fasc-type-flat fasc-rounded-medium ico-fa fasc-ico-before fa-arrow-circle-right\" style=\"background-color: #33809e; color: #ffffff;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engagebay.com\/blog\/best-cta-examples\/\">Read more: Best CTA Examples for Small Businesses To Learn From<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Best_Product_Description_Examples\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">The Best Product Description Examples<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but I love a good example to inspire me in a new direction.

That said, there are always mistakes to stay cognizant of and avoid. I\u2019ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some errors you don\u2019t want anywhere near your product descriptions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Overuse of jargon<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Look, I get why there\u2019s a temptation to use jargon. It makes you sound professional and like you know what you\u2019re discussing.<\/p>\n<p>However, your audience <em>doesn\u2019t <\/em>know what you\u2019re talking about. It\u2019s like speaking another language.<\/p>\n<p>No matter your industry, you can simplify jargon into everyday terms. Reducing the complexity ensures that prospective customers understand what you\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Ignoring mobile users<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With so many people coming your way from smartphones, tablets, and the like, you can\u2019t afford to skip mobile optimization. Your site must provide every user with a seamless loading and browsing experience, or you won\u2019t get half the sales your products could achieve.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Duplicate content<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever seen a product description that copies the manufacturer\u2019s description verbatim? Not only are those kinds of descriptions uninteresting, but they\u2019re also duplicate content.<\/p>\n<p>Search engine crawlers don\u2019t like duplicate content and can ding your rank if you have it.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, like I said, those descriptions are dry and boring to read. They\u2019re usually full of technical jargon and details only manufacturers care about, not consumers. Write your descriptions moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tools_and_Resources\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">Tools and Resources<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Improving one\u2019s copywriting skills isn\u2019t an overnight process.

How long should a product description be?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The sweet spot for a product description is up to 300 words. That\u2019s just enough space to write about the product succinctly without going overboard.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">2. What are the best tools for writing product descriptions?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can use product notes, specs, and a word-processing document or rely on AI tools or product description generators. You have plenty of options to get the ball rolling.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">3. How can I make my product descriptions SEO-friendly?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your descriptions need a good ratio of keyword usage, clear headers and subheads, and metadata to rank well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">4. Should I include technical specifications in my product descriptions?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To an extent, you can, such as measurements for a product, but don\u2019t go too deep into the technical specs when writing your description. You will turn prospective customers away.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">5. How do I write product descriptions for different target audiences?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It would be best to segment your audience first, then identify their pain points and challenges based on your research.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">6. Can I use the manufacturer\u2019s description for my products?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You can use it as a starting point, but don\u2019t copy the manufacturer\u2019s description verbatim. Your SEO rank could drop, and your bounce rate could increase.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">7. How often should I update my product descriptions?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As often as required, such as when changing or updating your product.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">8. What role do images play in product descriptions?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Well, images help the prospective customer visualize the product, for starters. Product photos also break up copy and help leads make a purchasing decision.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">9. How do I write product descriptions for products with multiple variations?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many eCommerce platforms, such as Shopify, have apps for writing descriptions for each product variant, making your life much easier.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">10.
