Need help with your tags and titles?

[Former_Member]

I have found that getting found on Etsy takes lots of hard work.

Tags and titles are really really important for Etsy search.

Once you master getting your tags and titles right then you should see an increase in views and sales.

A couple of things I have learned is to make sure that the words you use in your title should also match your tags. Even having the words in your description helps too.
Always use search terms that a customer would use.

Using Etsy search type in Digital and see what comes up on the drop down list. Add those keywords to your tags and title.

It takes some work but it is well worth the results.

If anyone needs help with their tags and titles let me know! I am more than happy to help you.

Would love some help with titles and tags. I find myself using the same ones.

I get lot`s of views because I promote but it`s not translating into sales.

Question about titles matching tags...

I know from an SEO point of view that Etsy search system uses only the titles and tags. And I've heard numerous times (lately) that the keyword phrases in tags must match the keyword phrases in the titles.

Can anyone explain WHY that is? Does it give heavier weight to those searches in Etsy?

Previously, I understood to optimize for Etsy search, just use the keywords in tags, and it did not have to be exact phrases, just as long as all the word show up. Which contradicts the most recent advice.

Thanks!

(ps - this is for Etsy searches only, not Google searches)

Hi Vector Vintage,

Thanks for your post. To the best of my knowledge matching tags and titles are supposed to give the highest relevancy when it comes to searching as well as views an item has received. So yes it gives a heavier weight. I am not an expert but I know that when I have matching tags and titles that match I get found in search results. I think its best to play around with your tags and titles and see what works best for you.

Hi everyone! I would like to get some feedback from you about my titles and tags in my shop. Let me know if you have any advice!

I have tried to check what preferences in the ETSY drop down menu and also thinking from a customer point of view, also repeating the tags and titles to give more weight as you all said, but probably It can be improved!

Thanks everyone!!

Hi Maria! Thanks for your post. Cute shop!

I had a look at your tags and titles. One of my suggestions is to make sure that both tags and titles match in each of your listings. When you do there is a much higher chance of being found when someone searches. Also put that you offer commercial use in your tags and titles and description. It's a lot of hard work but it is worth it in the end. Also post all of your listings on any form of social media you can. This will increase your chance even more for being found. Happy Sales To You!

Hi, I've recently reopened my shop after a period of stop, and I'm trying to working hard on SEO (so titles and tags too). So I'd like to hear some opinions on titles and tags of my articles... and there's something I would like to ask. About titles: is better using a list of long keywords, or trying to shape them in order to make them more user friendly? (So brief descriptions)

I need help please. I just posted about tags and titles in another thread. I'm so glad I found this team, loving it here so far. learning lots :)

[Former_Member]

Do you know why it helps? Seems to me that is someone is looking for a memorial item (what I sell) they'd be more likely to find it under baby or miscarriage than digital. Thanks!

[Former_Member]

Hi again Jacqueline! Here is the reason why using Digital in your tags and titles help - It is because that is what you are selling and because these are popular Etsy keywords that customers search for. Many customers are searching for digital downloads/instant downloads.

Here is a link to all the listings that sellers used for the keywords - DIGITAL MEMORIAL -
https://www.etsy.com/search?q=digital%20memorial

Here is a link to all the listings that seller used for the keywords PRINTABLE MEMORIAL - https://www.etsy.com/search?q=PRINTABLE%20MEMORIAL

Other popular keywords are Miscarriage Memorial, Miscarriage Gift, Miscarriage Remembrance, Miscarriage Keepsake

The more relevant search terms that you have for your items the more chance of being found you have. If you do not use relevant keywords than you miss out on sales and being found. Hope this helps you to understand that putting both Digital and Printable in your tags and titles is crucial.

Hi Oh Gosh! I answered your question in our other thread you posted in :)

[Former_Member]

Hi Guilia! Thanks for your post! Etsy recommends using 2 to 3 words for tags and titles. I looked at your shop and see that you are doing that already. Happy Sales!

I'd like some advice. I always had a few views and sales. Then, with localized search and changes to the algorithms the situation has deteriorated so much. I work to improve my items and I always work on titles and tags, but surely I'm wrong. And then I never understood if it is better to use all or most of the 80 characters or if it is better to use short titles, because I find different opinions. Thank you so much for your help. :-)
