# SEO Product Descriptions for Beginners: The 5-Minute Primer

If you've never touched SEO product descriptions before, here's the version without the jargon.

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.

You don't need to understand everything about it on day one. Start with just this: rewrite manufacturer copy in your own words for every product — beyond avoiding duplicate content, it's a chance to speak to your specific audience's concerns.

The most common beginner mistake is skipping it entirely because it sounds technical. It usually isn't — SEO product descriptions is one of those things that looks intimidating from the outside and takes ten minutes once you actually sit down with it.

Once this feels comfortable, Google Merchant Center feed is a natural next thing to learn.

SEO Product Description Generator is the fastest way to see it in action on a real page.
