Hire a Product Catalog FTE

Catalog & Product Page Merchandiser

Every product page, finished. A digital employee that owns your catalog end-to-end — it audits every SKU for thin titles, missing attributes, duplicate descriptions and broken Shopping-feed fields, rewrites product pages in your brand voice using only your own product data, fixes Google Merchant Center disapprovals at the source, and keeps product schema and alt text complete. Every rewrite waits for your approval, and it never invents a specification.

Accountable for

Every SKU page complete, found and approved

Judged on · Catalog completeness on the top SKUs, and feed disapprovals cleared

What it does not do · It does not invent a specification, decide pricing or choose which products to sell. Gaps with no source are flagged for you.

  • Catalog Audit
  • Product Page Copy in Brand Voice
  • Attribute & Spec Completion
  • Shopping Feed Health

Needs from you

  • Read access to your catalog (Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Adobe Commerce) and your Merchant Center feed
  • Your brand voice, the claims you never make, and the fields a rewrite may draw from
  • Which collections matter most, so the audit ranks by revenue at stake
How it works

A week with Product Catalog.

It reports in first, does the work, hands it over for approval, and measures what happened. You review it the way you review a direct report.

  1. Day one01

    The catalog audit

    Every SKU scored for completeness, duplication, missing attributes and feed errors, ranked by the revenue at stake, before any rewrite is proposed.

  2. Daily02

    Rewrites in Approvals

    Titles, attributes and descriptions drafted from your product data only, shown before and after, with every claim mapped to the field it came from.

  3. Continuously03

    Feed watch

    Merchant Center disapprovals and warnings caught as they appear, the failing field named, the fix drafted and re-checked before you approve it.

  4. Friday04

    The honest review

    Completeness by collection, disapprovals open and closed, and which rewritten pages moved in search, measured, not estimated.

The workspace

Managed like a direct report.

Product Catalog reports into a workspace built for a manager, not an operator. Four of its tabs, drawn as they work.

Today

Your morning brief, first thing.

What is waiting on you comes first, then yesterday, what it noticed, and spend against budget. Read it in a minute.

Missions

What you can ask it to do.

Beyond the weekly routine, you give it missions: a goal, a scope, a deadline, and progress you can see. Three modes, all of them bounded.

Production

Finish the top 200 SKUs by revenue

A bounded push: audit, rewrite, attribute completion and schema for the pages that carry the most sales, each approved by you.

Diagnostic

Why is this collection not ranking?

Ranked hypotheses with evidence: thin or duplicate copy, missing attributes, cannibalising pages, a feed or crawl issue.

Strategy

Which catalog gaps are worth fixing first?

A revenue-at-risk map across collections, with the order it proposes to work in and why.

Diagnoses arrive as ranked hypotheses with evidence, never as certainties.

Inside your stack

It works in the tools you already run.

Product Catalog connects to the systems below with the permissions you grant, per organization and per property, and nothing more. Connections can be revoked at any time.

  • Storefront

    • Shopify
    • WooCommerce
    • BigCommerce
    • Adobe Commerce (Magento)
  • Feeds and measurement

    • Google Merchant Center
    • Google Search Console
  • Where you review its work

    • Your ftes.ai workspace
    • Claude and ChatGPT via MCP connector
    • Email brief
Control

You manage. Product Catalog executes.

It starts at Level 0 and earns autonomy one step at a time. You grant each level when the evidence says so, and you can take it back at any time.

  1. Level 0

    Proposes only

    Every draft, launch, send or spend waits in Approvals. This is where every FTE starts.

  2. Level 1

    Low-risk on its own

    You allow routine actions you have approved many times: refreshes, reply drafts, reconciliations that match exactly.

  3. Level 2

    Acts inside caps

    It may pause losers, scale winners or publish scheduled work, always inside the budget and rules you set.

  4. Level 3

    Runs the week

    Scheduled production runs; you review the brief, the exceptions and the numbers. Any level can be taken back at any time.

FAQ

Before you hire.

Short answers. The docs have the long ones.

Will it invent a specification or a claim to fill a gap?

No. A rewrite may only use fields in your catalog, a supplier sheet you upload, or copy you approved before. A gap it cannot fill from those is flagged as a gap for you, never guessed.

What can the Product Catalog FTE do without my approval?

Nothing that leaves your company. Product Catalog proposes first: every publish, send or spend waits in Approvals with its reasons and evidence. You can grant more autonomy step by step and take it back at any time. Every action is logged.

How is it priced?

Plans are token-metered blocks of work, not seats. Every FTE in your organization draws from one wallet whose balance is always visible in the workspace. At zero the FTEs pause; they never overdraw.

How long does onboarding take?

Sign up, connect the tools the role needs, and confirm the targets it proposes. Roles marked instant onboarding are working the same day; roles marked custom onboarding are scoped with our team first.

Where does my data go?

Your data stays scoped to your organization and, where it applies, to the specific property the FTE works on. Integration credentials are encrypted at rest and can be revoked at any time.

More roles

Every role holds its own targets and budget; hire one or several, they share one wallet and one workspace.
