Re: I CANNOT SEE MY STORE

@FeatheryWreaths: Is the listing showing up on your shop home page? Have you checked your listings page to make sure the listing is active? You can check to see if the listing is indexed by searching WITHIN your shop.

 

It does sometimes take a while for a shop and / or listings to be indexed. But keep in mind that if everyone on this forum searched for the exact same phrase they would all get different results. Because of "personalized searches" you can NOT rely on anyone's search results to define how your listing is ranked. There are many many factors that affect listing placement and the relative weight of each factor probably changes constantly. Even exact word matches to your title no longer ensure that you will appear on page 1. Your listing may be appearing on page 251 and Etsy is only showing the first 250 pages to the world.

@FeatheryWreaths: Your question does not have a simple answer and unfortunately there is a lot of outdated and bad information out there. You might want to ask for feedback on https://community.etsy.com/t5/Shop-Critiques/bd-p/shop-critiques?ref=gnav and / or https://community.etsy.com/t5/Marketing-Your-Business/bd-p/marketing?ref=gnav

Don’t repeat words over and over in your title. The search engine considers it spammy and will downgrade your item in search.

Never use single word tags.  Never repeat words in your tags.

Complete every section of your shop.  Unfinished shops are penalized in search.

I see your item, a wreath made from pheasant feathers. It is a real physical item you are selling, correct? Just wondering why your shop is called 'photography? when you are selling physical items? Wreath is very handsome.

Re: I CANNOT SEE MY STORE

yes, your shop and your one & only item can be seen in search results.

Add more items. And finish your shop storefront with Announcement, About, and Profile to improve your search results.

Re: I CANNOT SEE MY STORE

I can find you by searching for your store name, so you are listed. But  your SEO is poor, making it hard to be found in search by your keywords.

Plus everyone sees something different when they search, based on their past searches. So if you search a bunch for feather wreaths but never buy one, the search engine decides what it has been showing you isn't relevant, so it starts showing you something different. If you are constantly searching for your own listings without using an incognito browser, you are less likely to see them.

First, your price is extremely low. Most wreaths like yours sell for between $125.00 to $150.00 for that size. I have made wreaths similar to yours and they consistently sold at those higher prices, and fairly fast.

But you only give your sizes in cms, which most people in  the US don't understand and won't bother to look up, so you are losing 75% of the buyers on Etsy. Most won't bother to ask you, either. They will just move on to one of your competitors that already provides that information. Always give measurements in both inches and cms.

You don't show a picture of the back of the wreath, which as a buyer I would want to see.

You use wreath in your title 5 times. That is an automatic penalty for "keyword stuffing" which will lower where you rank in the search engines. It is 130 characters long. Search engines now prefer titles around 80 characters, including punctuation and spaces. You don't need to repeat words in your titles at all. Search engines will combine any word in your title with any other word in your title, even if they aren't next to each other, if someone searches that way.

I don't see this wreath as being particularly Christmas themed, so I wouldn't even use Christmas in your title. Separating phrases with | instead of a comma followed by a space makes your titles harder to read, so fewer shoppers will bother to read it.

Your description is all run together, so it is hard to read. Double space between paragraphs. Get the keywords in your title in the first few sentences of your description.

Many of your tags are single words. All tags should be 2 or 3 words long, and use all 13 you are allowed. Try  not to repeat words in your tags, too. There is no penalty for repeating here, but if you don't do it, you can get in more keywords you might be found for. Exact matches aren't so important here, either. The Etsy search will pull words from 2 or more tags if someone searches that way.

Re: I CANNOT SEE MY STORE

How kind of you to reply to me - thank you. I have actioned most of the points that you suggest here. I wanted to get one listing right before I loaded any more products. I am trying to change the name and now cannot seem to do that. The products are stunning and the price is probably too low - need to work on that! Thank you x
