The 5 prompts

1
Prompt 1 of 5

Capture the essentials

The raw material for great copy.

The prompt
Act as an e-commerce copywriter. My product is [The product] for [Who buys it], and the top benefit is [The #1 benefit].

Ask me for (or infer from these details) the specs, materials, and use cases, then list the emotional and practical reasons [Who buys it] would want it.
💡

Pro tip: List both practical and emotional reasons — people justify with specs but buy on feeling.

2
Prompt 2 of 5

Write the description

Benefit-led copy that converts.

The prompt
Write a product description for [The product] aimed at [Who buys it], leading with [The #1 benefit]: a punchy opening line, a short benefit-led paragraph, and a sensory detail that makes it feel real. Persuasive, not spammy.
💡

Pro tip: Open with the transformation the buyer wants, not the material it is made of.

3
Prompt 3 of 5

Add SEO fields

Get the page found.

The prompt
For [The product] targeting [Who buys it], give me: an SEO product title (≤60 chars with the main keyword), a meta description (≤155 chars) featuring [The #1 benefit], and a URL handle. Suggest 5 keywords buyers actually search.
💡

Pro tip: Validate those keywords in Semrush — the terms buyers use are often not the ones you would guess.

4
Prompt 4 of 5

Generate bullets and specs

Scannable features buyers check.

The prompt
Write 5-7 benefit-led feature bullets and a clean specifications block for [The product] for [Who buys it]. Each bullet should pair a feature with why it matters. Keep the spec block factual and scannable.
💡

Pro tip: Every feature bullet should answer "so what?" for the buyer — pair the spec with the payoff.

5
Prompt 5 of 5

Spin channel variations

One product, every channel.

The prompt
Create channel variations of the [The product] copy for [Who buys it]: a keyword-dense version for a marketplace listing, a short brand-led version for my Shopify page, a 2-line version for a Facebook ad, and a 1-line version for Google Shopping.
💡

Pro tip: Marketplaces reward keywords; your own store rewards brand voice — do not use the same copy on both.
