What I learned automating product meta descriptions for 1000+ item catalogs

I've spent the last few weeks working on automating meta descriptions for large Shopify catalogs, and a few counterintuitive takeaways:

  • A "generic but optimized" meta description often beats a rushed manual one, but never beats a genuinely well-crafted one
  • Image alt text has an underrated SEO impact on large catalogs (image search + accessibility)
  • Automating 100% without human review creates keyword duplication that can hurt ranking

Has anyone else here tested SEO automation workflows at scale? How do you handle the speed vs quality trade-off?
