We write category and taxonomy archive descriptions — the introductory text often shown at the top of a category page — generated from the actual products or content within that category, never invented independently of what’s genuinely there.
Category & taxonomy description generation
Category descriptions generated from the actual products sitting inside each category.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- Access to the categories or taxonomy terms needing descriptions
- Confirmation of your preferred length and tone, if you have a house style
- Confirmation of whether existing descriptions should be replaced or only genuinely missing ones filled in
This or something else?
| You want category or taxonomy descriptions generated from the actual content within each category | This fix covers it |
| You need more than a standard scope, spanning up to 100 terms specifically | Category & taxonomy description generation – up to 100 terms, the larger tier |
| You already have category descriptions written and just need them implemented | A more straightforward implementation fix, worth describing directly |
| You want product descriptions rewritten, not category-level introductory text | Product title & description optimization, the appropriate tier for your SKU count |
What we do
- Review the actual products or content within each category or term
- Generate a description reflecting what’s genuinely represented in that category
- Flag any category too sparse or inconsistent to describe accurately
- Apply consistent length and tone per your specified preferences
- Verify generated descriptions against the category’s actual contents
- Provide a written list for your review
What is included
- Category and taxonomy descriptions generated, grounded in each category’s actual contents
- Flags for any category too sparse to describe accurately
- Consistent tone and length applied per your preferences
- A written list for your review
Not included
- Deciding category or taxonomy structure itself — that’s a content and information architecture decision
- Product-level description rewriting, a separate, related fix
- Inventing content for a category that’s currently empty or nearly so
- Ongoing generation as new categories are created
Questions about this fix
What if a category only has one or two products in it?
We'd flag it as too sparse to describe meaningfully — a category description grounded in genuine content needs enough there to actually reflect, which one or two items usually doesn't provide.
Will this description be optimised for specific search terms?
It's written to accurately and clearly describe what's genuinely in the category; targeting specific search terms as a deliberate strategy is a separate, different kind of service outside this fix's scope.
Can this replace category descriptions I've already written?
Only if you specify that's your intent — by default we'd fill in genuinely missing descriptions rather than overwrite existing ones, unless you tell us otherwise.
How is this different from a product description rewrite?
This addresses the category or taxonomy archive page's own introductory text, which is distinct from the individual product description on each product's own page.
Will every category get the same length of description?
We apply a consistent length target per your specified preference, though a category with more to genuinely say may naturally read slightly longer than an intentionally minimal one, within reason.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
