DO THIS TO RANK HIGHER ON ETSY π (6 Quick Etsy SEO steps to boost your Etsy shop ranking TODAY)
About this video
Kate Hayes lays out six steps to improve Etsy search ranking, framing them around Etsy’s ranking factors including relevancy, listing quality score, and the shop-wide customer and market experience score. To boost that shop score she advises collecting as many five-star reviews as possible by sending one friendly, non-pushy follow-up message after delivery β noting customers can leave reviews up to 60 days after an order was processed β and fully completing the shop’s About and policies sections. For relevancy she advises adding trending keywords found via eRank’s monthly top trending keywords on Etsy article and rotating seasonal or holiday phrases such as christmas gift for mom into titles, tags and descriptions, weaving keywords naturally into descriptions after Etsy announced descriptions now count for SEO, and filling out all relevant listing attributes because they act as additional tags and help in filtered searches. Finally she recommends a short, high-discount flash sale, giving 50% off for the next 24 or 48 hours as an example, promoted everywhere, to drive sales volume and raise a listing’s quality score even if it means breaking even at first.
Key takeaways
- Send one friendly check-in message after delivery to prompt five-star reviews, within the 60-day review window Etsy allows
- Fully fill out your shop About section and policies section to boost your customer and market experience score
- Use eRank’s monthly trending keywords article and rotate seasonal phrases like christmas gift for mom in and out of titles, tags and descriptions
- Weave the same keyword phrases from titles and tags naturally into listing descriptions, and fill out all relevant listing attributes
- Run a brief high-discount flash sale, for example 50% off for 24 or 48 hours, to generate sales that raise listing quality score
