Give collections real
category page descriptions
Category and collection pages often win the highest-intent searches in ecommerce, yet most have nothing but a grid of products. Montu writes copy for them that helps shoppers and search engines both.
What category content includes
Montu writes an intro that frames the collection, buying guidance that helps a shopper choose between options, and a supporting section beneath the product grid, all targeting the category search term.
Above and below the grid
You get a short framing paragraph for the top of the page and a longer supporting section for underneath, so the products stay visible while the page still carries useful content.
Buying guidance
Copy explains how to choose within the category, covering the size, material or budget questions shoppers weigh up, which reduces the browsing that ends without a purchase.
Category search terms
Each page targets the collection query people actually type, including modifiers like price range, audience and occasion, so the page matches the whole family of related searches.
Store publishing
Finished descriptions publish back to the matching Shopify collection or WooCommerce category, so the page updates without anyone editing theme files by hand.
How category descriptions are generated
Point Montu at the category
Open the Generate Categories card and give it the category link, or a topic, plus how many, the description length and the language.
Queue the batch
Tokens are deducted for the batch and the run is queued. Add a category image, and schedule or repeat the run when it is recurring work.
Montu reads what is in the category
It crawls the category and the products inside it, then writes a description and meta fields that match the real range. Progress shows in the queue tile.
Review and publish
Edit inline, then publish to your connected store, choosing which fields to update, or leave Auto Publish on and it happens automatically.

Category page FAQ
Do category pages need descriptions for SEO?
They benefit from them. A collection page with only a product grid gives search engines almost no text to understand, and gives shoppers no help choosing. A concise intro plus a supporting section below the grid usually improves both without hurting the layout.
Where should category page content go, above or below the products?
Split it. Keep a short paragraph above the grid so products stay visible on mobile, and place the longer buying guidance underneath. Pushing hundreds of words above the products is the fastest way to lose a shopper who came to browse.
How long should a collection page description be?
Roughly 50 to 80 words above the grid and 200 to 400 words below it works for most stores. Length matters less than usefulness. If the text does not help someone choose between the products on the page, it is not earning its space.
What is the difference between category and product page SEO?
Category pages target broader, comparison-stage searches such as a product type plus a modifier. Product pages target specific model or name searches. Writing both the same way means your category pages read like an oversized product listing and rank for neither.
Should every category have unique content?
Every category you want traffic for, yes. Reused text across collections creates near-duplicate pages that compete with each other. For very small or seasonal categories it is fine to leave them thin and focus your effort where the demand is.
