Generate SEO-tuned blog posts on a schedule, fetch matching imagery, and publish straight to Shopify — all from one dashboard inside your Shopify admin.
A few things need to be in place before Blog Agent can run. Skim both lists — the second one saves support tickets later.
Five steps from install to live. Screenshots coming soon.
From the Commerce Ace listing, click Install. Blog Agent embeds directly in your Shopify admin under Apps — no separate login required.
In Settings, select which Shopify blog new posts publish to. Most stores use a single "News" or "Journal" blog.
Fill in your store description, brand tone, target audience, and key selling points. This is what Claude AI uses to write posts that sound like your store. The more detail you provide, the better the output.
Click Generate Post. Claude writes the headline, body, and meta description. If you have an Unsplash key configured, it fetches a matching header image too. The draft appears in your queue within seconds.
Read the draft, edit anything that needs a human touch, and publish to Shopify — or let scheduled posts go out automatically if you've enabled auto-publish.
Every setting lives under Blog Agent → Settings. Sensible defaults ship at install — these are the ones worth reviewing.
| Setting | What it does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Target blog | Which Shopify blog posts publish to. | News / Journal |
| Posting cadence | How often scheduled drafts are generated. | 2 per week |
| Tone | The voice Claude writes in. | Matches your store |
| Image source | Where header images are fetched from. | Unsplash (optional) |
| Auto-publish | Publish scheduled drafts without manual review. | Off (until you trust the output) |
| Meta descriptions | Auto-write an SEO meta description per post. | On |
| Store description | Context Claude uses to keep posts relevant to your products and audience. | 2–4 sentences, product-specific |
What we tell every Commerce Ace merchant on their onboarding call.
Start in review mode
Keep auto-publish off for the first two weeks, until you trust the voice. Review every draft before it goes live.
Give it specific topics
"Winter skincare routines" beats "skincare." The sharper the brief, the better the post.
Keep a steady cadence
Two solid posts a week beats ten in a burst — for readers and for SEO.
Add your own images when relevant
Swap the Unsplash pick for a real product photo whenever the post is about a specific product.
Edit the first paragraph
It's what Google and readers see first. A quick human pass on the opening hook pays off.
Glance at the meta description
Claude writes them for you, but a quick check keeps them on-message and under 160 characters.
Claude AI drafts the headline, body, and meta description from your topic brief and brand settings. You review and edit before anything publishes.
No. Blog Agent only creates new drafts. Posts already live on your store are managed in Shopify — Blog Agent doesn't edit or delete them.
Only for automatic imagery. Without a key, drafts still generate and publish — just without a header image. You can add your own images manually.
Yes. Set a cadence in Settings and Blog Agent plans the calendar, generating and optionally publishing on schedule.
In Settings → Brand Tone. It defaults to matching your store's existing copy style.
Every post is generated fresh from your brief. No two are identical. Review before publishing, as you would any draft content.
