Day 20: Minimum content: no “thin” PDP
Focus: Thin pages are hard to cite. Minimum content prevents guessing and reduces returns.
What you will achieve today
- Define minimum PDP content for your category.
- Upgrade one thin product page to the minimum.
- Remove duplicate or empty sections.
Deliverables
- A 'minimum PDP' standard (10 required elements).
- One thin PDP upgraded.
Step-by-step
- List the 10 required elements: what it is, who for, key specs, materials, sizing/fit, what's included, care, shipping, returns, warranty/support.
- Pick a thin PDP and highlight what is missing.
- Write missing sections using factual language.
- Add at least one real photo or clear visual.
- Remove empty tabs or duplicate paragraphs that add noise.
Checklist
- Minimum elements exist and are readable on mobile.
- Specs are in text.
- Policies are summarised and linked.
Examples
Thin vs complete
- Good: Includes materials, sizing, care, and policy summary
- Bad: Only 2 sentences and a buy button
Common mistakes
- Copying the same paragraph to every product without differences.
- Leaving placeholder sections from the theme.
Done when
- Your standard is written and one page meets it.
- You can apply the standard to 5 products next week.
