Watch a keyword’s prices and competition over time

Understand what Keyword Tracking shows.

Written by Richie Peplin

Keyword Tracking follows changes in a keyword's competition and prices. It can help you revisit a product idea or seasonal phrase.

Open your tracked phrases

Choose Keyword Tracking in Marmalead. The screen currently describes up to 4 tracked phrases, daily updates and a chart after 2 days. Use the limits shown in your account if they differ.

Review the phrases already there. If you have space, use the page's controls to add the phrase you want to watch. Check that it appears in your tracked set.

A new phrase needs time to build a chart. Keep existing research you still need before removing a phrase to free a slot.

What does a change mean?

If prices or competition shift, reopen the phrase in Keyword Search and look at the current products. Has the mix changed? Does that matter to your idea?

Tracking doesn't measure your listing's Etsy search position or sales. Use Etsy Stats for your own shop's results.

If a chart remains empty beyond the time shown, choose Help → Contact Us.
