SEO and AI are two things that don’t go well together, but are AI descriptions good for SEO?

Many people said that Google will flag AI generated content, but is it the case with AI product descriptions?

Yes and no.

Most AI product description generators are just bad, and Google will detect them instantly.

But there’s a way to generate good AI descriptions that will help you rank on Google and get more sales.

Let’s jump right in!

Can Google Detect AI Product Descriptions

Yes, Google can detect AI product descriptions.

But, here’s the thing.

You can also detect them… especially when they are obviously bad.

Similarly, with Google.

It will detect the bad AI product descriptions.

But there are also good AI product descriptions that cannot be detected.

Why?

Because you (or Google’s algorithm) cannot tell it has been generated with AI.

What Is A Good AI Description?

A good AI description must be:

  1. Unique
  2. SEO optimized
  3. Sound like a human
  4. Easy to read
  5. On brand

Ideally, you will have an AI trained and fine-tuned specifically for this.

Without training, it’s almost impossible to get consistency.

Consistency is so important because you want to run automations with it.

Imagine generating 10,000 product descriptions for your whole catalogue, and having random results.

It sucks, because you cannot just remove the bad description… since it’s random, you will have to remove all of them and write them manually or hire somebody to check all the 10k descriptions to fix them.

How To Generate AI Descriptions For SEO

The ideal way to generate AI descriptions is through an API.

This gives you and your devs all the control you need to integrate the AI descriptions flawlessly into your store.

Yes, you can also do Copy-Pasting… but do you really want to do it? For 10,000 products?

Even if you don’t do it yourself, you will need to hire somebody else to do it… and they won’t be able to write 10,000 good and optimized product descriptions in a month.

Taking into account the fact that a subscription for a great tool like Ovesio costs about $50 per month… it’s a no-brainer to go with an automated solution.

If Ovesio has a specific plugin for your store, and you can get the full on integration with only one click… it would be crazy not to use their tool.

If you still want to learn more about other tools, here’s a list with the best AI description generators.

Conclusion

When done correctly, AI product descriptions are great for Search Engine Optimization for multiple reasons:

  1. Scalability
  2. Keyword Optimization
  3. Unique content
  4. Improved User Experience
  5. Structured Consistency

If you run an E-Commerce store with hundreds, thousands or even more product, you will need an automatic solution like Ovesio.

Besides the automation capabilities, Ovesio also trained their AI description generator specifically for E-Commerce, so it’s almost impossible to get the same quality from other tools.

If you don’t want to use a tool built specifically for E-Commerce and you end up doing everything DIY, be careful of the risks:

  1. Thin or generic content
  2. Keyword stuffing
  3. Duplicate patterns
  4. Lack of human elements

Make sure you keep those things in mind.
