# SEO Product Descriptions FAQ: Questions People Actually Ask

**What is SEO product descriptions, in plain terms?**
A manufacturer's stock description, pasted onto hundreds of retailer sites verbatim, is one of the most common sources of duplicate content in ecommerce — and it's also a wasted opportunity, since it says nothing your specific store does differently.

**How often should this be checked?**
Regularly, not just once. Writing purely technical spec lists with no benefit-oriented language, leaving shoppers to do the translation themselves. Set a recurring reminder rather than trusting memory.

**What's the most common mistake here?**
Publishing the exact manufacturer description unchanged, creating duplicate content against every other retailer selling the same item.

**Does this actually affect rankings, or is it just best practice?**
It's rarely a single ranking factor on its own, but it affects whether search engines and users can do what you actually need them to do — which shows up in rankings indirectly, often more than any one direct factor would.

**What's the fastest way to check this on an existing site?**
SEO Product Description Generator — paste your URL in and it does the check directly, no setup.
