Webflow Marketplace short description names the site job
Use the 100-character short description to name the concrete site job the app finishes, not the category it lives in.
Why this can grow a startup
Webflow surfaces apps in both the Marketplace and the Designer app pane, which means the short description often has to do first-pass search work. A vague line like 'all-in-one automation for modern teams' burns the scarcest space on category talk. Webflow's own listing guidance pushes the opposite direction: state immediate value, start with action, and make the primary use case obvious. The best listing copy tells the builder what changes on the site after install, not what buzzword bucket the app wants to join.
Company example
Webflow caps the short description at 100 characters and recommends focusing on immediate value, action-oriented language, and the primary use case.

When to use it
Use this when Marketplace, SEO, Conversion is relevant to positioning, search intent, listing copy and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
