Bulk Edit SEO Title & Description for Shopify Products

Updating SEO metadata product by product in Shopify is slow, especially when you are optimizing collections, seasonal pages, or imported catalogs. eCommix – Google Sheets Sync makes it much faster to bulk edit product SEO metadata in a spreadsheet.

The SEO preset focuses on:

SEO Title (Product)
SEO Description (Product)

Real use case: Rewriting SEO metadata for a category before peak season

An SEO team is preparing a holiday category launch and needs to rewrite titles and meta descriptions for 800 products with consistent keyword patterns. With eCommix – Google Sheets Sync, they export the products, use formulas for templates and character counts in Google Sheets, then validate and import updates in batches.

This keeps copywriting and QA in one spreadsheet instead of jumping between Shopify product pages.

SEO manager prioritizes high-traffic products first using filters
Content editor writes metadata in bulk with title/meta length checks
Merchandising team reviews and publishes updates faster

Use eCommix – Google Sheets Sync to export Shopify products to Google Sheets, bulk edit safely, validate changes, and import updates back to Shopify.

Common mistakes to avoid

Editing the product Title (Product) instead of SEO Title (Product)
Bulk replacing descriptions without exporting current data first
Importing a large batch without reviewing a sample
Skipping a post-import export check

Final tip

Run SEO updates in batches (for example by collection or vendor) and keep one backup tab per batch. It is easier to QA and easier to revert if needed.
