Listing Descriptions

[Former_Member]

I'm still working on improving my shop, and I wanted some opinions on my listing descriptions. I name most of my dolls in the description, but I was wondering if others didn't like that, and whether it would be better to not name the dolls. Thanks!

I prefer naming my necklaces, it gives then a sense of personalization and it catches on at shows, although not sure about etsy yet.

I like the names, but keep in mind that the first three words of your title need to be exactly what a shopper would search for. So make sure you use varying keywords in the first three slots, then put the names after.

Thanks! I only put the names in the descriptions.

I've only just learned this too and have changed all my listing descriptions to 'what they are' rather than the name of the print.

Oh! good tip! i tend to get flouncy ... I need to stop that on etsy, leave it to the description, perhaps?

[Former_Member]

Great tip! I didn't know that. Another thing to work on.

This is how it was described to me on 'Beginners SEO'

"When it comes to your listings, what are you selling?

What exactly is a ""'Literal Goldie - Three colour hand pulled screenprint in Black, Gold and Cream on White""

If I'm looking for a guitar print I'll never find it. How many people are searching for 'literal goldie"? You can see that in your stats.

And if I google search "literal goldie" the ONLY things that come up are items in your shop
www.google.com/#hl=en&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=literal+goldie...

So its probably not something that is searched very much.

But if I search 'screen print of a guitar' there are hundreds of selections."

They were referring to this item which had the name of the print and the 'three colour etc etc' wording as the title
