WooCommerce SEO Meta: Bulk Generate Titles and Descriptions for Every Product
Every WooCommerce product needs a meta title and meta description for Google to index it properly. Writing them manually for 500 products takes days. AIWU generates SEO-optimized meta for your entire catalog in one run — working with Yoast SEO, RankMath, and other popular SEO plugins.
Before You Start
You’ll need:
- WooCommerce with products and descriptions (Auto-Generate Product Descriptions if needed)
- An SEO plugin installed: Yoast SEO, RankMath, or All in One SEO (AIWU writes to their custom fields)
- AIWU Pro with API key configured
- Time needed: 10 minutes setup · generation runs in background
- Plan required: Pro
Meta Title: Navy Blue Leather Wallet for Men – Slim Bifold | YourStore (55–60 chars)
Meta Description: Genuine leather slim bifold wallet in navy blue. Holds 8 cards, RFID blocking, gift-ready packaging. Free shipping over $50. (120–155 chars)
Step 1: Open the WooCommerce SEO Generator
Go to WordPress Admin → AI Copilot → Content Generation → WooCommerce and select the SEO Meta tab.
Alternatively: AI Copilot → WooCommerce → SEO Meta Generator.
Step 2: Select Products and Configure
Which products to process:
- Products with empty SEO fields: Recommended — skip products you’ve already optimized manually
- All products: Overwrites existing meta — use only if you want to regenerate everything
- By category: Process one category at a time for easier review
SEO plugin target: Select your installed SEO plugin so AIWU writes to the correct fields:
- Yoast SEO → writes to
_yoast_wpseo_titleand_yoast_wpseo_metadesc - RankMath → writes to
rank_math_titleandrank_math_description - All in One SEO → writes to the AIOSEO meta fields
- Custom / None → writes to standard
_seo_titleand_seo_descriptionmeta
Step 3: Set Up Your Prompt Templates
AIWU uses two prompt templates — one for the meta title, one for the meta description. Default templates are pre-filled, but customizing them gives better results:
Meta Title template:
Write an SEO meta title for this product. Include the product name and one key benefit or feature. Add the store name at the end separated by a dash. Keep it under 60 characters. Product: {product_name}. Category: {product_category}. Key attributes: {product_attributes}.
Meta Description template:
Write an SEO meta description for this product. Include: the main benefit, 1–2 key features, and a soft call to action. Keep it 130–155 characters. Do not start with the product name. Product: {product_name}. Short description: {product_short_description}. Price: {product_price}.
Step 4: Run Generation
Click Start Generation. The progress bar shows completed / total. You can close the browser — generation continues in the background.
Speed: approximately 30–60 products per minute for meta generation (faster than description generation because the outputs are shorter).
Step 5: Verify in Your SEO Plugin
After generation, open any product in WooCommerce. Scroll down to your SEO plugin’s section (Yoast, RankMath, etc.) — you should see the AI-generated meta title and description filled in.
Check a few manually before considering the batch done:
- Does the title include the product name?
- Is it under 60 characters? (Yoast shows a green indicator for good length)
- Does the description read naturally and include a benefit?
- Is it under 155 characters?
Common Issues
Problem: “Meta was generated but doesn’t appear in Yoast/RankMath.”
Fix: Confirm the correct SEO plugin is selected in Step 2. Check the field names match what your version of Yoast/RankMath uses — older versions may use different meta keys. You can also check in WordPress Admin → Posts → Quick Edit whether the custom fields are populated.
Problem: “Meta titles are all over 60 characters.”
Fix: Add “Maximum 55 characters” explicitly to your meta title prompt. Also remove the store name suffix if product names are long.
Problem: “All descriptions start with the product name.”
Fix: Add “Do not start the description with the product name” to your meta description prompt.
