In Google, this question often appears and it’s not just a coincidence because adding products to an online store is a very time-consuming task. Can you speed up the process?
It depends on whether your supplier or distributor has their offer in XML/CSV file format. If they do, you can build an import script that will automatically load product descriptions, images, and names into your online store, saving you a huge amount of time if you have hundreds or thousands of products.
However, the biggest enemy of an online store is called “duplicate content” or duplicated texts, which Google doesn’t like. And what Google doesn’t like is not good for you either because you won’t get organic traffic.
How to deal with this?
Importing products despite having duplicate descriptions has one advantage: at the import stage, you can define your own markup, saving you a lot of time from rekeying and modifying prices for hundreds or thousands of products. Additionally, when importing images and product names, they also have value because you can easily edit them without having to navigate between the supplier’s page, ChatGPT, and your online store.
Editing product descriptions is not a difficult task but it’s very time-consuming, especially if you don’t have a budget for AI-powered automation tools that can significantly speed up this process. If you don’t have such a budget, you’re left with opening each product card, copying the description to a “clipboard”, pasting it into ChatGPT with a prompt like “Make 100% unique product description from this text” and entering. After a while, you’ll get a rewritten text that you can copy and paste into your product’s description field and save.
