critical missing description

Missing description attribute

What this means

Meta requires a non-empty description on every catalog item.

Why this happens

Description columns get dropped during feed transforms, or the source product had description-less SKUs that were exported anyway.

How to fix it

  1. Confirm description has content for every product.
  2. Add a feed rule: skip products missing description rather than submitting empty.
  3. Aim for 100–500 characters of useful product info.
