Product Description SEO: How to Write Descriptions That Rank
WebEnture Team8 min read
How to write e-commerce product descriptions that rank in search and convert visitors: keyword placement, description length, and what to avoid.

Product descriptions serve two audiences: search engines and human visitors. Most e-commerce sites optimize for one at the expense of the other, or copy manufacturer descriptions which is the worst option.
