Scan CSV

Blank Metafield: description_tag [string] cells create a bulk SEO cleanup queue after import. CommerceFix previews missing rows for free and can generate paid repair files.

What this means

Shopify CSV SEO descriptions usually live in Metafield: description_tag [string]. If that field is empty across many rows, the import can succeed while metadata still needs repair.

Example broken CSV

Handle,Title,Metafield: title_tag [string],Metafield: description_tag [string]
ceramic-mug,Ceramic Mug,Ceramic Mug - Studio Cup,

Why it matters before upload

Missing descriptions are easier to patch from the CSV than inside Shopify product screens one at a time. The paid export keeps SEO metadata isolated from import safety fixes.
