Manufacturing

A manufacturer's products are described online by everyone except the manufacturer. MasterDB lets producers publish their own specifications, variants and stockists, so an AI uses the maker's data instead of a copy.

The maker should be the source for what the product is.

What AI gets wrong

Four failures you can stop

Others describe the product

An AI builds its answer from listings written by whoever sells the item, so specifications, materials and model names drift from what the maker published.

Discontinued lines persist

Old models and recipes stay in circulation online, and an AI recommends a product that left production several ranges ago.

Variants collapsed into one

Sizes, finishes, capacities and formats are merged by an AI into a single product, and a buyer is given the specification for the wrong variant.

Nobody knows where to buy

A person asking an AI where to buy a product is sent to whichever site ranks well, not to the stockists and channels the producer supplies.

What you publish

Six things worth publishing first

All of it is free to publish, and none of it has a limit on how often you change it.

  • Product specifications

    Dimensions, materials, ingredients and technical detail written by the maker.

  • Variants and model ranges

    Every size, finish and format, with the codes that identify each one.

  • Stockists and where to buy

    The businesses and channels that carry the range, published by the producer.

  • Business identity

    The producer described by itself, including production sites and contact details.

  • News and updates

    New lines, reformulations, discontinuations and production changes.

  • Instructions to AIs

    Written guidance on how the maker wants its brand and products described.

What changes

Three things that stop going wrong

01

The maker's description

Specifications come from the producer, so an AI stops repeating whatever someone else happened to write about the product.

02

Current range only

Discontinued lines are marked as such, and people are pointed to what the producer actually makes now.

03

Buyers sent to stockists

Where to buy questions are answered with the channels the producer actually supplies.
