Titles and Tags!

[RenegadeRingsCo]

Getting found. YIKES! It's a daunting task but entirely doable.
One of the topics people ask most about is titles and tags.
How to name your product, make it personal to you, but to get found in searches as well.
Here goes!
So you've created a product. You've photographed it, named it, filled out all the info, posted it, but you're not anywhere near the top.
Tip #1:
Use up the entire allowed amount for your title! Don't just name your product one short title. Really think about what your product is, how many uses it has, if you can use other words to describe the same item, and how people might look for it in a search.
For example: One of the pieces in my shop is a Tree of Life Pendant. But it can be used as a necklace, a Sun Catcher for your window, a Christmas Tree Ornament, or a Rear View Mirror Ornament. I've included all those things in my title. And it really works! Today, someone searched "Rear View Mirror" and my product was found.

Tip #2
Holiday coming up? Include it in your title. Can it be a gift for a specific person, or used for an event? Include it in your title.

Tip#3
Include key words which are in your titles in your tags! This will strengthen your search.
For example: Here is the title of the same Tree:
Tree of Life Pendant Moonstone in Copper - June Birthstone Wire Wapped Talisman - Necklace - Sun Catcher - Car Rear View Mirror Ornament
I've included almost every word in my tags!
Ps: Add spaces in between the " - " or it messes the whole search thing up.

Tip #4
Have a look at the competition! Do a search for the same item as yours. Have a look at what titles and tags the top sellers are using and go from there. There's a reason they are being found. Don't directly copy because, well, that's just mean, but use them as a guide.

I hope this helps some of you new sellers and anyone looking to increase your views and sales. I noticed a big difference when I researched and implemented these ideas into my shop.
Have a super day, and stay tuned to my shop. I'll be offering an SEO HELP SECTION very soon at a reasonable price.

You're welcome, Brittany! I wish you the all the best in your shop! These things take time, so don't get discouraged! It took me more than 4 months to make my first sale, and a heck of a lot of research.

What does seo stand for

[RenegadeRingsCo]

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. And the phrase improve your SEO strategy encompasses the actions taken to ensure your website can be found in a search engine's results page (SERP) when searching for words or phrases relevant to the content on your website.

Jo Green,
I just had a look at your shop. Super cute! I love the puzzle pieces! You should follow some of the tips and see if that makes a difference, for sure. Lengthen your titles, and work on tags.

Thank you so much Barbara for sharing that, need to revisit my items

[Former_Member]

Awesome post! Makes me definitely second guess all my titles and tags.

[DesignsByMinxxy]

Thank you, I will think about how to post better.

[Former_Member]

Excellent info! I was keeping my titles short and sweet, but will add tag words into my titles too! I read somewhere that if "search" is not one the top 4 areas that brings people to your site you should modify your tags and title.

[Former_Member]

Thanks for the excellent info!

[RenegadeRingsCo]

[Former_Member]

Great advice! I'll make sure to apply this to my titles, descriptions and tags!
