Where catalog content breaks down

Most catalogs outgrow their content process long before anyone decides to fix it. The symptom is rarely a missed deadline. It shows up as pages that quietly underperform while everyone assumes someone else has them covered.

Thin product pages

Half the catalog carries a manufacturer blurb or nothing at all. Those pages convert worse, and they give search engines almost nothing to index.

Translation debt

When the source copy changes, the other nine markets sit on last season's text for months.

Seasonal spikes

Because campaign volume arrives in bursts, an in-house team is either idle or underwater, and freelance capacity takes weeks to bring up.

What AI content strategy covers

AI content strategy is the plan for producing and maintaining product and campaign copy at catalog scale using AI, with experienced copywriters reviewing at defined checkpoints. For eCommerce it spans product descriptions, category pages, campaign copy, and translations, plus the rules that hold brand voice and factual accuracy steady across every generated page. The distinction that matters is between a tool and a process. A generator gives you a draft. A content strategy decides which pages get written first, what the copy has to contain, who signs it off, and how the output is measured against the pages it replaced.

At scandiweb that process is built by senior copywriters who also work as prompt engineers, so the person tuning the automation is the same person accountable for how the writing reads. Where the wider AI program is still being scoped, our AI strategy consulting team sets that direction before production starts.

What we produce

AI copywriting for eCommerce only works when it starts from your catalog structure and your brand guidelines, so output lands in the format your team already imports. Volume and turnaround are agreed before the first batch, along with how deep the review goes. Each deliverable below can be scoped on its own.

Product descriptions

Unique copy for every SKU, written against your attribute data and mapped to the fields your PIM expects.

Category and landing copy

Category pages get the context that turns a filtered product grid into something search engines can rank.

Translation and localization

Source copy carries into your other markets, with regional terminology checked by native reviewers. Site-wide language rollouts are handled by our website localization team.

Campaign and email copy

Seasonal pushes arrive as a complete set, so a launch is never waiting on one writer's queue.

Content refresh

Aging pages get rewritten in place against current search demand, and the refreshed version keeps its URL and its link equity.

Product data enrichment

Missing attributes and inconsistent naming get fixed first, because copy written on top of bad data inherits the problem.

Brand voice specification

A senior copywriter documents your voice as a working spec, and every generated page is held against it.

Editorial review

An experienced copywriter reads every batch before it reaches you, checking it against your product data and your voice spec.

Performance reporting

Because output is tracked against the pages it replaced, you can see what the new copy actually changed.

Half your catalog is doing the selling. Let's look at the other half.

A short sample review tells you which pages are costing you traffic and what it would take to bring them up.

How a content project is delivered

Catalog and voice audit

A senior copywriter reviews a sample of your live pages against your brand guidelines, then documents the voice spec that every later batch is held to. You see the spec before any copy is written.

Workflow build and pilot batch

The same copywriter builds and tunes the generation workflow, then puts a first batch through it end to end. The pilot exists so you can approve the output shape while the commitment is still small.

Production at volume

Approved batches are produced against your catalog structure and delivered in the format your PIM or CMS imports, so nothing has to be copied out of a separate portal by hand.

Editorial review and handover

An experienced copywriter checks factual accuracy against your product data and voice against the spec, then signs the batch off by name. It lands in your staging environment for your own team's approval.

Refresh cycle

Pages are re-checked against current search demand on an agreed cadence, so the catalog does not drift back to where it started.

What changes after the first batch

eCommerce content optimization pays back in different places depending on where your catalog is weakest. These are the shifts clients report most often once production settles into a steady cadence, usually somewhere between the second and the fourth batch.

Coverage across the full catalog

The long tail stops being the part of the site nobody has written yet.

Markets that stay in sync

Source copy and translations update together, so a price change does not leave nine markets stale.

Campaign copy on the campaign's timeline

Launch dates hold because the copy is ready when the merchandising is.

A voice that holds at volume

Because the spec is written down and checked, page two thousand reads like page one.

Category pages that earn rankings

Context above the product grid gives search engines something to rank, which is where eCommerce SEO gains usually come from first.

Cost per page that falls as volume rises

The spec work happens once. Every batch after it is cheaper than the one before.

Questions about AI content strategy

How much does AI content production cost?

Pricing is per batch and scales with volume, so cost per page falls as the catalog grows. A project is scoped after we review a sample of your pages and agree how deep the review goes. We quote a fixed price per batch before any work starts, which means there is no open-ended hourly exposure to manage.

How do you keep our brand voice consistent?

We document your voice as a written spec before production starts, built from your existing guidelines and a sample of pages you consider on-brand. Every generated page is then checked against that spec by a named reviewer. Where your voice shifts by market or product line, the spec carries those variations.

Who reviews the content before it goes live?

Every batch is read by an experienced copywriter before it reaches you. They check factual accuracy against your product data and voice against the spec, then sign the batch off by name. It lands in your staging environment for your own team's approval, so nothing publishes without a second pair of eyes on it.

How many products can you cover?

Projects have covered catalogs from a few hundred SKUs into the tens of thousands. Volume is set by what your review process can absorb, which is usually the real constraint. Editorial review scales with batch size, so the ten-thousandth page gets the same read as the first.

How quickly can we see the first content?

A pilot batch is usually back within two weeks of the voice spec being signed off. That batch exists so you can approve the output shape before committing to volume. Once the shape is approved, production batches follow on a cadence set against your campaign calendar.

Will Google penalize AI-generated product content?

Google's guidance targets content produced to manipulate rankings. What it measures is whether a page is accurate and useful to the person reading it. Our process puts human review before publication and holds output to your factual product data, which is what keeps pages on the right side of that line.

How do you keep quality consistent at high volume?

The workflow is built by a senior copywriter who also works as a prompt engineer, so the rules that produce your copy are written by someone who edits for a living. Every batch is then read before handover. Quality holds because the review step scales with the volume, and it is never the thing dropped when a deadline tightens.

Is our product data used to train AI models?

No. Your catalog data and brand guidelines are used to produce your copy and nothing else. Generation runs in enterprise accounts where customer inputs are excluded from model training, and the finished copy is yours outright, delivered into your own PIM or CMS. Data handling sits inside our ISO 27001 certified process.
