The right tools can make a big difference. So in this post, I’ll share the top SEO tools I personally use (and recommend) when writing product descriptions for eCommerce clients, and I’ll tell you exactly why they work.

Let’s dive into the tools I trust the most for creating compelling, optimized content that drives results.

Key Takeaways

1. Semrush: The Complete SEO Research Companion

Semrush is one of those tools I keep open almost every day when writing product descriptions. While it’s often thought of as a keyword research tool, it offers much more. It helps me understand what real users are searching for, what competitors are ranking with, and what kind of questions buyers ask before making a purchase. This context helps tailor product descriptions with relevance, not fluff.

Here’s how I use it when crafting a product description:

• I identify the main keyword and long-tail variations (like “affordable AI product description services” or “AI product description optimization service”).
• I check what kind of content is ranking for those terms.
• I pull in common search questions to inspire bullet points or FAQs.

According to Semrush’s 2025 SEO Industry Report, businesses that use intent-based keywords in product descriptions see an average of 32% higher organic CTRs. That’s a number too big to ignore.

While AI tools can generate basic content, they often lack the strategic keyword mapping that is essential for effective content creation. That’s why I always pair insights from tools like Semrush with our professional content writing team to ensure the message connects emotionally and ranks algorithmically.

2. Surfer SEO: Making Sure Descriptions Rank, Not Just Read Well

Surfer SEO has been a game-changer for me. It takes keyword optimization to the next level. When you paste your product description into its editor, Surfer gives you a real-time SEO score and tells you what keywords you’re missing, what length works best, and even how many headers or images are ideal.

For example, while creating listings for an online pet accessories store, we used Surfer to analyze competitor content. Our human copywriters then rewrote the descriptions using Surfer’s SEO suggestions, like increasing keyword density for “durable dog leash” or shortening the intro to fit the target structure. The result? Product pages saw a 46% increase in organic traffic in 60 days (client: PetLoom, case study available upon request).

This is where automated product description writing services fall short. AI can fill in blanks, but Surfer paired with human writers ensures your description feels natural while still scoring well with Google.

3. Frase.io: Perfect for Intent-Focused Descriptions

When writing for a wide variety of audiences, understanding search intent is everything. Frase.io helps me do that. It analyzes the top 20 search results for a target keyword and shows what users expect to see. It even helps generate outline suggestions based on what’s working.

Say you’re writing for a skincare brand. A keyword like “retinol night cream” might attract informational searches (“what is retinol?”) or transactional ones (“buy retinol night cream”). Frase helps identify which content structures are satisfying user intent, so I can shape the tone accordingly either educational or direct-to-sale.

We’ve used Frase to support our product description writing services for several Shopify clients looking to scale fast. It helps streamline research, but again, the final copy is always written by our team to ensure quality and compliance.

4. Clearscope: The Clarity and Readability Fixer

Ever written a product description and then realized it’s too technical? That’s where Clearscope steps in. Clearscope scores your content based on readability and suggests semantically related keywords to add for better ranking.

In one of our projects for a fitness apparel store, we used Clearscope to review product copy for gym leggings. Their internal team had written keyword-stuffed content that was hard to read. We rewrote it using Clearscope’s recommendations, keeping keywords like “breathable leggings” and “squat-proof fabric,” while making the content easy to skim. Conversions increased by 19% in 3 weeks after the update.

Clearscope is also great if you’re dealing with AI-generated product descriptions for SEO and want to polish them before publishing. Our team often cleans up these drafts as part of our AI product description optimization service.

5. Grammarly: Because Polished Copy Still Matters

Let’s be honest, grammar mistakes in product descriptions destroy trust. Grammarly might seem basic, but it’s essential. It’s not just about fixing typos; it improves clarity, tone, and engagement.

Especially when clients outsource AI product description writing, the output often needs heavy editing. Grammarly ensures that content sounds natural, which is something machines still struggle with.

In fact, a 2023 Trustpilot survey found that 72% of shoppers abandon a purchase if the product description has errors or confusing language. That stat alone justifies why every final description we deliver passes through a human editor and tools like Grammarly.

6. PageOptimizer Pro (POP): SEO Tweaks at a Technical Level

PageOptimizer Pro is ideal for technical SEO professionals. It’s like a checklist for on-page SEO. For each product, I input the keyword, and POP tells me how to place it, how often to use it, and whether to include variations in headers or image alt tags.

We used POP when helping a client in the home décor industry scale across Walmart, Amazon, and Shopify. Our writers used it to structure product descriptions optimized for each platform. Combined with our AI virtual assistant for product descriptions, which handled bulk formatting, the client achieved consistent SEO wins across 3 marketplaces with minimal rewriting.

7. Copywritely: Content Health and Plagiarism Checker

Finally, Copywritely is a tool I rely on to ensure originality and clarity. Many of our clients ask us to rewrite AI-generated product descriptions because they often lack uniqueness or trigger duplicate content warnings. Copywritely helps us clean that up fast.

We also utilize it when offering automated product description writing services in large volumes, especially for multi-vendor platforms where duplication can significantly harm rankings.

Real-Life Case Study: How Our SEO-Driven Descriptions Helped a Fashion Retailer Boost Sales

One of our clients, a mid-sized women’s fashion retailer, came to us with a problem: product pages weren’t converting. They had used an AI-powered product description generator to bulk-write content. While fast, the copy lacked emotion and clarity.

Our team rewrote the top 100 product pages using the tools above:

• Semrush for keyword research
• Surfer SEO for scoring
• Grammarly for tone
• Frase for structure

In just 60 days, organic traffic to those product pages rose by 55%, bounce rates dropped by 28%, and add-to-cart actions increased by 39%.

That’s the power of combining smart SEO tools with skilled human writing. We still use AI tools as helpers, but not as replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How often should I update my product descriptions for SEO?

You should review and update product descriptions at least once every 6–12 months, especially if keywords or market trends change.

2. Can AI-generated product descriptions hurt SEO?

Yes, if they’re poorly optimized or duplicated across platforms. They often miss context or tone, which impacts ranking and conversions.

3. Is outsourcing product description writing cost-effective?

Absolutely. By outsourcing to trained writers, you get quality and SEO optimization without hiring in-house. It’s especially helpful for high-volume updates.

4. What’s the best way to optimize descriptions for multiple marketplaces?

Tailor each description using a core keyword set, and tweak tone or formatting per platform (e.g., Amazon vs. Shopify). SEO tools like POP or Surfer help streamline this.

5. What kind of products benefit most from professional descriptions?

Anything with features that need explaining, apparel, electronics, beauty, fitness, and home goods all benefit from clear, benefit-driven copy.
