What is a generation? 

• A generation is when a product description, title, bullet points, keywords, meta description or other content is created for any product in your catalog(s).
• A generation is also used any time you score a product for SEO. 
  

How many products can I generate for?

You can generate an unlimited number of times within 30 days for the products purchased! The 30 days is triggered once you generate for any product for the first time.

If you're ever unsure, head to Account on the left sidebar to view your purchased and remaining credits.

Check out this article to learn more.

Which products are active for generation?

• Activated products have a green "infinity" icon on the product image, so you can easily identify them and run additional generations as needed. 
  
• You can keep track of how many products are currently activated on the left sidebar.  

How do I enrich my product data?

If you receive limited product information from manufacturers or suppliers, data enrichment can enhance your sparse data by pulling in detailed information, such as images and attributes, from the web.

How many data enrichment credits do I have? 

You will see a message in Describely if you try to run data enrichment for more products that you have remaining credits.

If you're ever unsure, head to Account on the left sidebar to view your purchased and remaining credits.

Why would data enrichment fail?

If Describely is unable to match your product title and/or SKU with high quality data, you might see the product(s) data enrichment be unsuccessful. 

If this happens, not to worry! We make it easy to quickly run a web search for these products individually:

1. Within the data enrichment job, click the failed product's title to be brought to its Product Details page.
2. On the top right, click the cloud icon to automatically open a Google search for your title and SKU (if available).

How do I write product descriptions?

Follow these steps to generate on-brand, SEO friendly product descriptions for multiple products at once. 

How can I see my bulk job history?

• Open your catalog and click Bulk Jobs Review on the top right.
• This will open a log of your bulk jobs with their generated fields and current status. 
• Use the top toolbar to customize this view to your liking by filtering your bulk jobs, hiding columns, and more. 
• Click on a bulk job to review and approve newly generated content. Learn more about this process here.

Why might a bulk generation fail, and how do I fix it?

• When creating content in bulk, a generation might fail if there is not enough product data to ensure quality content is generated for a particular product.
• If any product generations are expected to fail, you'll see an alert notifying you of the affected product(s) and how to resolve it with our data enrichment. 
• When you run a bulk job, products expected to fail will be skipped by default, but you can attempt to process them if you'd like.
• If you'd prefer to manually enter more product information, click into each product and add more data to the content fields through the Product Details tab. Then, try to re-run bulk on these products.
