Start here: make one Etsy listing clearer

Pick a listing, get a suggestion and choose the wording you like best.

Written by Richie Peplin

You know what makes your work special. Let's help a shopper see it, too.

Choose one listing whose title could be clearer. You can leave the rest of your shop for later.

Get a starting point

  1. Open My Listings and choose your item.

  2. Select Boost SEO.

  3. Compare the suggested title and tags with your current wording.

Look for a phrase that names the item clearly. Blue Ceramic Mug, 12 oz tells a shopper more than a string of gift occasions.

Keep the details true to your product. A suggestion about personalization belongs only if you offer it.

Choose what to keep

Want help deciding? Give Marma your Etsy listing link and ask:

What would make this title clearer to a shopper? Suggest one change and explain why. Keep the product facts accurate.

Save your original wording in your own notes. Then copy the version you prefer into Etsy and save it there. If your original is clearer, keep it.

Boost's search and visit totals describe the keywords' market, rather than visits promised to your listing. The Boost guide explains the comparison.

Need a hand?

If Boost is unavailable, paste your current title and product details into Marma and ask the same question. If you're stuck, choose Help → Contact Us.

Ready for another step? Keep track of your change.
