Consistency Beats Random Tags
- Inconsistent tags force Etsy to guess what your product is and bury listings in search.
- Use consistent, focused tags that match the product to strengthen Etsy's keyword signal.
Match Tags To Your Listing SEO
- Do use tags that mirror your listing's SEO and product description to reinforce ranking.
- Replace high-traffic-but-irrelevant tags with targeted tags like 'business logo t-shirt' or 'custom text shirt'.
Make Photos Show Product In Use
- Improve click-through rate by using clear, on-model product photos that show the item in use.
- Brighten images and use clean lighting to increase clicks dramatically.
