Has anybody used this?

etsyshoptimizer.com/dashboard

I found out that I was better at SEO than I thought I was - still room for improvement.

This is my first time ever hearing about etsyshoptimizer. I'm responding in hopes to giving this a bump, because I'm super curious as to what people think about it. Thank you for posting this!

[Former_Member]

I have used it and appreciate the information I gain.

[Former_Member]

Yeah, but it lies about shop announcement. . .

[Former_Member]

Thanks for the tip!

[Former_Member]

I used Shoptimizer and have seen a big increase in views after implementing all the tips and tweaking each and every listing. I recommend Shoptimizer all the time! Well worth the time and effort!

[RDrewNaturals]

Didn't know about it. Will be watching this thread.

I just used it, I got an A for everything except Shop Announcements and Attributes

[BeadworkAndCoe]

I tried it and am a bit disappointed.
According to shoptimizer I rate "A" everywhere, except of 1 "B" in each category. And that is for example, because he thinks 3 shop sections is not enough. It is with only 26 items!
And still I only get around 20 views a day, if I'm lucky. After nearly 5 month now I'm still waiting for my first sale ...
So, it definitely doesn't solve all the problems, as some people like to make out.
But good luck to everyone who tries, maybe it works better for you :)

I used it and love it. Both views and sales are up. I hear the app is being tweaked to help shop owners with grey areas and not just a numerical count.
For me it worked but I've also use the seller handbook and other online tutorials. So I would not rely on it completely.

I think if I used it first starting out it would not have been very helpful but after putting all the other tutorials in place, it is the icing on the cake!

i just heard about it in another forum. and tried it out. found out im on the right track def. mainly A's but there is only so much i can pull out of my shop announcement. so oh well. :)

[Babiease]

Thanks for passing it along. I have heard about it but finally getting down to using it. It's encouraging that I grade pretty well but for a few things to fix! Looking forward to a continued bump in sales!

[Former_Member]

just tried it for the first time and am anxious to see if it helps! I have had my store since January and just got my first two sales in June, so I need all the tips, suggestions and critiques that I can get to help get my page found!!!

I've use it and really thought it was helpful. You need to use other avenues also, sellers handbook and reading alot of threads.

[Former_Member]

This is awesome!!! Thank you for sharing...It's very helpful.

[Former_Member]

Thanks, never knew this existed.
A little conflicting advice from this site though. I got a C for my attributes section, recipients, occasion, style.
I do not put anything in these categories. When Etsy first introduced them I clicked on the ? button to find out more, here is what it says for recipients and occasion.

Only choose a recipient if your item is for a specific recipient. If your item is for everyone, choosing a recipient could make it harder for shoppers to find your item in search.
Not specifying a recipient will not hurt your exposure in search results.

Doesn't sound like filling these areas out, unless your item fits perfectly into one category, is beneficial.

Did not know it but seems helpful

[Former_Member]

I use it and I love it - but agree that ypu also need to study the handbook, watch etsylab videos and take the advice of experienced team members.
After 3 months of opening I got an A in everything but Attributes. My views were approx. 65 a day with 2 sales.
Now ater tweaking with shoptimizers advice I received an A across the board.. I have been opened 5 months now and average just over 100 views a day and have had 5 sales and 1 reserve order to be checked out.
It has helped me but like I say - it is a combination of other things and a lot of work.

[111collagedesign]

I just tried it - seems helpful. I will definitely look into some of the chanes they suggest

[UniqueSewingBoutique]

I did try it also, got good ideas on how to tweek and shorten some of my
titles, but so far ir has not helped my views, but hoping for the best.

[Former_Member]

I can't thank you enough for posting this! I tried it and now I know, for sure, what I have problems with. I start fixing things 1st thing tomorrow and hopefully I'll get a sale after that.

Thanks for sharing

[PollyAJewellery]

I'm definitely going to try this, thanks for posting. I opened my shop about 6 weeks ago, I have had 2 sales in that time, and views are so variable, some days I don't have any without promoting items on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter etc. So will be good to know if I'm doing something wrong or whether there is just too much competition on Etsy! I'll post my results if they're interesting.

OK that was quick! It gives you instant results.
It was really useful, my main issues seem to be with too long titles and shop announcement, which I think don't necessarily mean people won't find me, but do mean the important words need to be at the start of the titles as the search engines only search a limited number of characters, which I kind of knew but will pay more attention to now!

[Former_Member]

Well, thanks forsharing that! It was very quick and I got lots of feedback that I have just finished working on.
Hopefully it will get me some good results :)
