Being an Invisible Star Seller

[Posteralize]

Since 2019, I made more than a thousand sales and I'm always star seller. But my products doesnt show in etsy search unless you search the exactly same with my product titles. For example i have 3 products which are different but related to sydney wall art, All have "sydney" word on title, description and many tags, You cant find my product on etsy if you search as "sydney" even after some Some prodcuts titled "Syd tie".

Even if you type the title of my product exactly the same and search for it, I am not ranked first. Even in the advertising area, you may find that the wrong product appears.

Etsy says "trends changing".... Is Paris known by another name these days? Or does Sydney have a new name?

It wasn't always like this. In the first years, everything was smooth and as it should be. However, after a point, views dropped by 90% compared to the previous year. The next year it was 70% below the previous year. Although I say this, it is said that this may be due to seasonal festivals. The statistics that have been falling continuously for two years could be an indication of what, the World Cup or something?

Luckily i have other shops that sells completely different products and they are doing great with no problem. According to Etsy, there is no problem with this page of mine either. People don't search for "paris" or "new york" anymore. At least that's what they expect me to believe.

I don't know why you would be having problems with this shop and not in other shops but you don't disclose your other shops and you are required to disclose every shop you run in each shop.  I did notice spelling mistakes in a lot of your listings that aren't helping.  Your items look like they are generated by AI.  While that might be okay for someone who wants AI art, there are other shoppers who expect something to be handmade by the artist and not generated by a computer.

I did notice that your seo could use some work.  I would recommend asking for a critique in the forum sections.  Etsy is constantly changing - as I'm sure you have figured out by now.  It's best to attempt to keep up with some of their changes.  Art and pintables is oversaturated here, it is a rough market to be in honestly.

You've posted this in technical issues, so I won't offer a critique per se, but a technical issue you could resolve is to ensure your AI generated images are accurate. I just looked at the London image, as I live there, and there is nothing remotely accurate in the image.  If I were looking for a print to remind me of a favourite place, I would, at the very least, want it to reflect the place I know.

Why has the print of a London bus got double yellow lines in the middle of the road?
Why has the bus got no driver?

It is AI mistakes like these that put people off from buying AI art

They may still be limited to the technical issues section since that change in March.

@Marmalady yep, the front of the bus is all wrong (the invisible driver has a bar of steel across his view line for starters), the destination is gibberish, the street layout is wrong, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are wrong, the proportions of everything are wrong.... This is why I detest AI. It makes a mockery of proper art.

Search results are personalised -- so what you see in search results is not the same as what i would see in search results

If you keep doing the same search time after time, the algorithm thinks "I have shown you xyz several times but you have not clicked on it / bought it,  so it cannot be what you want so here is abc instead"
