Clean up my catalog: fix inconsistent titles, add missing tags, categorize every product.
Want more control? See the expanded prompt ›
Go through my catalog and clean it up: fix inconsistent titles, add missing tags, and put every product in the right category. Show me everything before it goes live.
- Edits titles, descriptions, tags, and categories — one product or the whole catalog.
- One request can span hundreds of products.
- Follows the conventions your catalog already uses instead of inventing new ones.
- Nothing changes on your live store until you approve it.
What you're trying to do
Catalog quality decays one product at a time: a title that doesn't match the naming scheme, tags applied inconsistently, categories never set. Each one is a two-minute fix, and there are three hundred of them — so nobody does it. Bulk editing turns the cleanup into one request, and the review queue means scale doesn't cost you control.
Things to watch out for
- Overreach — a bulk edit should touch only products that need it. Fudge leaves conforming products alone.
- Convention drift — fixes should follow your existing naming and tag vocabulary, not introduce a new one.
- Category accuracy — Fudge maps to Shopify's standard taxonomy, which feeds channels like Google and AI shopping surfaces.
- Review — Fudge handles this: every edit queues for approval; approve one by one or in batches.
How Fudge does it
Fudge reads your catalog, works out which products need the change you described, and drafts the edits without touching your live store. Every edit lands in a review queue where you see before and after per field. Approve individually or in bulk; publish when ready; undo later if you change your mind.
When your catalog needs a cleanup nobody has time for
Product data goes stale in ways that are individually trivial and collectively expensive. Inconsistent titles make collections look messy. Missing tags break your filters. Unset categories mean Google Shopping and AI assistants guess at what you sell. None of it is hard to fix — there’s just too much of it.
When this is worth doing
Run a catalog cleanup before anything that depends on product data being right: launching filters, syncing to a sales channel, running a site-wide SEO pass. It’s also the right first move after importing products from a supplier feed or another platform, where inconsistency arrives in bulk.
What makes a great bulk edit
- Scoped to what needs fixing — products that already conform are left alone.
- Your conventions, applied consistently — the naming scheme and tag vocabulary come from your catalog, not a template.
- Standard taxonomy categories — the categorization that shopping channels and AI assistants actually read.
- Per-field review — you see exactly what changes on each product before it ships.
Common mistakes to avoid
The biggest mistake is bulk-editing without a review step. A rule that’s right for 280 products is wrong for the 20 exceptions, and those are the ones you’ll hear about. Review before publish catches them.
The second mistake is fixing symptoms product by product. If titles are inconsistent, fix the convention across the catalog once — otherwise you’re back here next quarter.
Pair this with bulk description rewrites for the copy itself, and multi-language edits if your catalog publishes in more than one language.
