Include your primary product in your shop title<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your shop title is a brief bit of text that describes your store so shoppers know what you make and sell, and it\u2019s one aspect of your shop you can use to influence SEO.<\/p>\n<p>The text will also be the page title for your shop and is the first thing a user will see in the search results, so take advantage of the opportunity to title your shop appropriately. Think of a title that indicates the kind of products you sell. For example, Etsy shop <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/SilverDollarCandleCo?ref=simple-shop-header-name&amp;listing_id=467004731\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">SilverDollarCandleCo<\/a> makes and sells candles. However, don\u2019t sacrifice creativity for SEO \u2014 this shop title works because it\u2019s unique to the business and memorable.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/SilverDollarCandleCo?ref=simple-shop-header-name&amp;listing_id=467004731\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Source<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>This tactic works great because shoppers will likely come across your store even when searching for a generic product term.<\/p>\n<p>Your shop title can be up to 55 characters long, and when you enter a new shop title or edit the existing one, you\u2019ll be able to preview how it will appear in Google search results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_keywords_in_your_listings\"><\/span><b>2. Use keywords in your listings<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/seller-handbook\/article\/keywords-101-everything-you-need-to-know\/382774281517\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Keywords<\/a> are a big part of SEO, and it\u2019s no different on Etsy, but how do you go about determining which keywords are right for your shop?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_keywords_work_in_Etsy_search\"><\/span>How keywords work in Etsy search<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First, you need to know a bit more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/seller-handbook\/article\/how-etsy-search-works\/375461474487\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">how Etsy determines<\/a> the placement of listings in search results. Items in Etsy&#8217;s search results must match a user&#8217;s search, and items that are an exact match will appear highest in search results.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if a shopper searches for \u201ccat shirt,\u201d the search algorithm will find all items that match both \u201ccat\u201d and \u201cshirt\u201d in either listing tags or titles. Then, the algorithm will use keywords to place those items in the most relevant order.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what Etsy considers when ranking search results:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An exact phrase match is stronger than matching the search terms individually. For example, \u201ccat shirt\u201d will be placed higher than a match for \u201ccat\u201d or \u201cshirt.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>If a word or phrase in a search appears in both the title and tags of a listing, Etsy considers that listing more relevant than a listing that features the search term in the tags or title alone.<\/li>\n<li>Words at the beginning of titles are more important than words at the end. For example, \u201ccat shirt blue size large\u201d would rank above \u201cblue size large cat shirt.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Finding_keywords_for_your_Etsy_listings\"><\/span>Finding keywords for your Etsy listings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When deciding which keywords will perform best for your listings in search, first think like a shopper. If you were looking to purchase a specific item or type of item, what terms would you use to search for it? Test those keywords by typing them into Etsy\u2019s search tool to see what comes up to determine if it\u2019s a good fit.<\/p>\n<p>You also want to think in terms of specifics or <b>long-tail keywords<\/b>. These keywords contain three or more words and are closely linked to sales because there\u2019s less competition, and users searching for precisely what they want are more likely to make a purchase. For example, if you include \u201cgold personalized name necklace\u201d in your keywords list, users who search for that exact term will easily find your listing, and shoppers in the market for a gold personalized name necklace are likely to purchase one.<\/p>\n<p>When considering potential keywords, it\u2019s easy to rely on physical item descriptions, such as an item\u2019s size or color, for example. But don\u2019t overlook other opportunities to reach shoppers who may be searching for items for certain occasions or that fit certain aesthetics, for example. In addition to describing your product in terms of what it is, consider other search terms a buyer might use, such as the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Occasions<\/b>: Etsy users may search for terms like \u201cbachelorette party,\u201d \u201cstocking stuffer,\u201d \u201cfirst anniversary,\u201d or \u201ctacky sweater party.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><b>Style<\/b>: Shoppers often have an aesthetic in mind, so consider how this affects how your listing is found. Is your product \u201crustic,\u201d \u201cminimalist,\u201d \u201cnature-inspired,\u201d \u201cart deco,\u201d etc.?<\/li>\n<li><b>Solutions<\/b>: Does your product offer a solution to a buyer? Consider how a user may search for a problem solver like \u201cdrawer organizer\u201d or \u201cmicrochip pet tag.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, use SEO tools to research which keywords are most searched for. You can use a popular tool like <a href=\"https:\/\/ads.google.com\/intl\/en_ng\/home\/tools\/keyword-planner\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Google Keyword Planner<\/a> or an Etsy-specific search tool, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/marmalead.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Marmalead<\/a>, which helps Etsy sellers find and analyze keywords specifically for their shops.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Avoid_using_the_same_keyword_too_often\"><\/span>3. Avoid using the same keyword too often<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When a buyer searches for something on Etsy, the search algorithm won\u2019t display more than one or two listings from a particular buyer regardless of how well the listings match the user\u2019s search. This is known as de-clumping, and Etsy does it to ensure that a variety of different shops appear in search results.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a search on Etsy for \u201cblue vintage dress\u201d reveals several different shops, as illustrated in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>FlyingAppleVintage has only two listings that appear in the above results even though a search for \u201cblue vintage dress\u201d within the shop itself reveals pages of listings that meet that criteria, as indicated below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/FlyingAppleVintage?ref=shop_sugg&amp;search_query=blue+vintage+dress\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Source<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Because of this de-clumping in Etsy search results, you shouldn\u2019t use the same primary keyword for more than a few of your items, or you\u2019ll simply be competing against yourself in search.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you sell a variety of vintage dresses in your shop, it doesn\u2019t benefit you to use the keyword \u201cvintage dress\u201d for every dress you have for sale. Instead, vary your keywords, using \u201cvintage dress\u201d only a couple of times and coming up with similar keywords like \u201cvintage gown\u201d or \u201cantique sundress.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Use_all_13_tags_in_each_listing\"><\/span><b>4. Use all 13 tags in each listing<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re setting up a product listing, you\u2019ll be required to fill out certain fields, including the listing title, category, and description. These fields are mandatory, as indicated by the asterisk beside them, and Etsy considers the information provided in all of these fields when displaying search results.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The tags section isn\u2019t mandatory, but it\u2019s extremely important to include a variety of tags to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/garage\" link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">optimize your listings for search<\/a>. You can use up to 13 tags, and it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/seller-handbook\/article\/checklist-optimise-your-shop-for-etsy\/366470356778#:~:text=optimising%20your%20shop.-,1.%20Use%20all%2013%20tags,-Each%20tag%20you\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">best to use all of them<\/a> as you can show up in more searches that way.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few \u201cdon\u2019ts\u201d to keep in mind when it comes to tags:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t repeat tags. For example, if you sell headbands for babies, you don\u2019t want to use both \u201cbaby headband\u201d and \u201cinfant headband.\u201d Instead, diversify tags to get your items in front of more sellers by using a variety of tags such as \u201cbaby headband\u201d and \u201cinfant headpiece.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t use a tag already included in attributes. For example, if you\u2019ve already indicated you\u2019re selling a red-and-gold scarf when you filled out your item\u2019s attributes \u2014 the extra details you can add about your listings after selecting a category \u2014 you don\u2019t need to add a tag for \u201cred and gold scarf.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t include plurals or misspellings in your tags. Etsy looks at root words when a user enters a query, and it also redirects users who make common spelling mistakes.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t add tags in multiple languages. Use only the language you selected when you set up your store. Etsy will translate listings for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you\u2019re brainstorming tags, consider synonyms people may use to search for your item, such as \u201ccap\u201d and \u201chat.\u201d Also, think of how differences in shoppers\u2019 regions could affect how they search for an item. For example, if you sell flip-flops, you might also want to use \u201cthong sandals\u201d to reach buyers in other countries. You can also include long-tail keywords in your tags.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Front-load_listings_with_keywords\"><\/span>5. Front-load listings with keywords<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Put the important details about your shop or item \u2014 in other words, the keywords you want to rank for \u2014 at the beginning of every field when making a new listing. This not only catches a shopper\u2019s attention but also helps Etsy determine which items fit with a user\u2019s search term.<\/p>\n<p>When listing products you have for sale on the items\u2019 listing page, consider how you can get the most important features of your item in the first few words of the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Item title<\/b>: Clearly describe your item at the beginning of the item title, and use keywords a shopper would use to search for this particular item.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/210240235\/personalized-jewelry-initial-best-under?click_key=a0adc1f5e184bb0adf0a4ba79b6bb92d7ac048d3%3A210240235&amp;click_sum=3a19d638&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-28&amp;pro=1\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Source<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Item description<\/b>: The first 160 characters of your item description are used to create the meta description for your listing page, which is the text that appears beneath your page title in search engine results. While your description can be longer than 160 characters, it\u2019s important to place your product\u2019s vital keywords <b>within the first 40 characters<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/210240235\/personalized-jewelry-initial-best-under?click_key=a0adc1f5e184bb0adf0a4ba79b6bb92d7ac048d3%3A210240235&amp;click_sum=3a19d638&amp;ga_order=most_relevant&amp;ga_search_type=all&amp;ga_view_type=gallery&amp;ga_search_query=&amp;ref=sr_gallery-1-28&amp;pro=1\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Source<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Shop sections<\/b>: Your shop can have up to 20 custom sections, each of which will have a separate page. Each landing page will have a page title based on the section name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Like your shop title, these page titles are what a user will see in a search engine that links to your shop. Section names can be up to 24 characters.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Renew_your_listings_regularly\"><\/span><b>6. Renew your listings regularly<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/seller-handbook\/article\/how-etsy-search-works\/375461474487#:~:text=Listings%20That%20Convert.-,Recency,-When%20a%20new\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener\">Recency plays a role<\/a> in how Etsy\u2019s search algorithm works. When a new listing is created, it gets a small, temporary boost in search results. This is so the Etsy search can learn more about how buyers interact with it to determine the listing\u2019s quality score. Renewed listings get a similar \u2014 but smaller \u2014 boost, which can last anywhere from a few hours to a few days, depending on how often users search for particular items.<\/p>\n<p>While Etsy cautions that continually renewing or re-listing your items isn\u2019t an effective long-term SEO strategy, it can occasionally be useful to renew specific listings at certain times. For example, if the keyword your item is optimized for is extremely competitive, it can be helpful to give it an extra boost, especially during times when more people are searching on Etsy and making purchases, such as during the holidays.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide to manually renew a listing, do so at higher traffic times when Etsy users are online and shopping. If you renew a listing at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday, for example, you likely won\u2019t see much of a boost as this isn\u2019t a peak traffic time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Promote_your_shop_to_get_inbound_links\"><\/span>7. Promote your shop to get inbound links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Both Etsy\u2019s algorithm and search engine algorithms strive to provide search interesting and relevant results. One way they do this is by displaying pages or listings that are frequently linked to other sites. While you can link your Etsy shop to your website or blog, it\u2019s worthwhile to pursue other linking opportunities. Incoming links from well-trafficked sites help you rank higher \u2014 it&#8217;s about quality, not quantity. Here are a few ways to do that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Share items from your store on social media sites where they can be easily re-shared, such as on Pinterest.<\/li>\n<li>Reach out to other websites and bloggers about your shop to have them feature your listings and offer to do the same if you have a platform<\/li>\n<li>Request <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/garage\/finding-the-right-social-media-influencers-for-your-small-business\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">reviews from influencers<\/a> in exchange for a free product.<\/li>\n<li>Connect with other Etsy shop owners to discuss ways you can do cross-promotion of your products.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, consider starting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/garage\/customer-rewards-program-right-retail-business\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">referral or affiliate program<\/a> for your shop to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/garage\/ecommerce-customer-loyalty-program-ideas\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow noopener\">harness customer loyalty<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Provide_a_great_customer_experience\"><\/span>8.
