Re: Help!

Conventional Etsy wisdom says, the more listings you have, the more you show up in searches... If you have the time and money to make more items, it might help. Also, tags should be phrases and similar to your titles, so baby boy tie should be a tag.

Re: Help!

You do have cute things and clear pictures, so work on SEO... Maybe look up on the forums how to improve it.

Re: Help!

Phrase tags - boy zigzag tie, baby boy tie etc.

I would also put a bit more into the title - 'baby boy tie, chevron and zigzag design'.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but maybe also add in the title - multiple sizes available or something like that.

Perhaps (I'm not sure if this is viable merely a suggestion) but have a listing for 0-6 and put that size into the title. This will also allow you to increase the number of listings.

Good Luck

Re: Help!

Thanks! For some reason I did not think about changing my titles. I guess in the past I've had more problems with photos. I will be making some changes soon. Anything else I an do?

Re: Help!

Gotta gotta work on the SEO.
GOT to use all the tags, and not just one words STUFF them 3-4 words in each one. And your title and tags should match up.

Nice work!!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/184978060/baby-girl-flower-headband?ref=shop_home_active_10

Perhaps in this listing, indicate durability (laundering), size (the flower is x" across) and use more of the photo slots.

Good luck!!

Re: Help!

The mantra I've learned here is "Titles/tags & SEO, great pics, and robust descriptions."

I've always despised titles that are just a string of tags, but the way searches are going I'm now doing it too. And I'm maximizing the characters given for any title. I'm sorry about it, but it's a reality and the truth is I'm getting more views because of it. I recommend you greatly expand your titles to include any possible variation someone might search for your items. For example, "Baby girl crown headband" becomes "Baby girl crown headband, baby hair accessories, baby headband, baby clothes, baby head band," etc.

Ensure your tags are maxed out at 13. When you've racked your brain and can only come up with 8, send a pic to a friend and ask them what search words they'd use to find that item. A fresh perspective is greatly helpful.

IMHO, your pics look great. Good lighting, always a nice, tight close up. Make sure you use all five photo slots. Get all sides/back/bottom, etc. Remember the customer can't touch it, so this is as close as they come.

Your descriptions are really short, so I'd beef them up a lot. Keep it simple and even bullet-style if you like, but get more info up there, even if it's obvious from the pictures.

Good luck!

Re: Help!

I agree with the above posters.

However, I've read that Google will 'punish' you if you keep repeating the same words in the title. I would try to alternate 'baby' with 'newborn, girl, toddler, child etc' I know it's hard sometimes to find words, but as suggested above, ask others how they would describe the item or how they would look for it. Also, type the words on the search bar and see what Etsy suggests. Those words/phrases are meant to match what is mostly typed to search on Etsy.

Try a few things and see how views are. I hope they increase!

I'm not convinced the more items you have, the more views you'll get. I have more items than the OP and today, so far, I have 1 view and a big, fat, flat line!

Re: Help!

I think you need some photos of the dresses on children. Its hard to tell what they are from the pictures or to envision how they would look on a child. I honestly thought they were totes when I just looked at the photos.
I bet they look cute on a child but you can't know without a picture.
