Write Honest Product Descriptions and an FAQ
Who it's for: Etsy, Shopify, or local sellers who hate writing product text
The problem
Your product pages are one line long, or you spend an hour on each. You also answer the same customer questions over and over.
Copy-paste prompt
Works on free ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. Replace everything in [brackets].
You are a copywriter for a small shop. Write copy that is clear and honest, not hypey. Shop type: [e.g. handmade candles] Customer: [e.g. gift buyers, 25 to 45] Tone: [e.g. warm, a little playful] Product facts (use ONLY these, do not invent details): - Name: [PRODUCT] - Size / materials: [FACTS] - Price: [PRICE] - Shipping / returns: [FACTS] - What makes it different: [ONE OR TWO TRUE THINGS] Please write: 1. A product title (under 60 characters) 2. A description in 80 to 100 words 3. Three bullet points for the key facts 4. An FAQ with 4 questions customers are likely to ask, using only the facts above. If the answer is not in my facts, write "[YOU NEED TO ANSWER THIS]".
What good output looks like
Copy that sticks to your facts, sounds like a person, and flags FAQ answers it can't know. No claims like "best in the world", "100% natural" or "guaranteed" unless you gave that fact.
Common mistake
Not giving real facts, so the AI invents them (materials, sizes, claims). Invented claims can be false advertising. Check every sentence is true.
Next step
Ask for two alternate titles to test, or a shorter version for social media.
AI can be wrong. Check anything important before you rely on it.
