Re: seo help

Hi,

Your work is wonderful, but you just started. Do not lose patience. Typically, it takes much longer than 15 days to make your first sale.

I am not an expert, but as a buyer, I would not look for "woodburning" items. I would look for wall deco, home deco, wall art, painting, etc. You have to entice people to come to your shop. I understand that the first 6 words or so in your title are the most important. Also, from what I have learned, you need to repeat the words from your title in your tags.

If you have not already done so, you may want to read the following post and the links it offers, from one of our team members. There you will find a wealth of information.

Also, check this team out. It has wonderful information on SEO.

Good luck to you. Your work is wonderful. do not get discouraged, be patient and persevere.

P.S. Also, you may also want to consider that, from what I hear, these months are extremely slow for many shops. You may want to use that time to add more items, re-work your SEO, etc.

My best wishes for a lot of success.

Re: seo help

Blackwell, you've got great work - original and interesting and gorgeous. You just need to work on the marketing side - but you knew that. One of the things I noticed first is that your titles are not helping you at all. You're using sentences practically! But a potential customer, searching for stuff, is more likely to look for "Animal Painting" or "Jaguar painting" or "Dragon art" - than the scenic titles you're using. So yes, rework your titles - match them up with your tags. Check out the SEO teams and don't be afraid to ask specific questions there - people are really helpful and there's lots of basic-stuff advice.

Best of luck to you!

Re: seo help

As a new Etsy seller this year, I have to say that this Team is really helpful!

I always figured my tags should be different than the words used in my title. Thought it would give more chances to be found but this isn't the case? I should try to match my tags to my titles? And, what about repeating your title again as the first paragraph in your description? I don't like the look of it but heard it works. Yes? No?

I feel like I'm just not being found! Haven't been found by a Google search yet.

Anyone willing to give a look at my shop and give some suggestions for title, tag improvements?
