- This is one way to find low-competition keywords for Etsy SEO, and it doesn't require any tools other than your time. I would get Marmalead, though, it makes the whole Etsy keyword-finding process faster! If you're a beginning Etsy seller, or just someone who wants to try to figure out what the heck Etsy is doing and what keywords to use, this is a good way to go through the process of writing your titles and tags

Wow Kara, I can't wait to try this. I can't afford another expense right now like marmalade, so maybe this technique will help me get my views up a bit. Can we now hide this video (just kidding)
I know what you mean, though. ;)
I've done this before for my soaps and it helped me find some good keywords :)
That's great!
I literally was just doing a listing for stud earrings! You always know what I need thank you for this!
That's so funny! They weren't daisies, were they? Hahaha
@@KaraBuntin haha! No.... crystals! But all applies! 😁
Great and helpful video! Thank you!
I struggle with longtail keywords and it's 20 character limit. Most of my fragrances are longer words so the most I can get is a 2 word phrase. That said, I've had good sales on listings with one sentence descriptions and 3 keywords out of the 13, while other fully filled listings get no love lol.
Don't worry about long tails being on the same tag, that isn't necessary.
I really love your videos, you explain things very well and I never feel like I'm being sold the (if you really want to know what I said this video would teach you buy my) speech. Thanks for all your help!
Thanks!
Good one!! I see I am not spending enough time figuring out my keywords - often sit there and can’t think of any more. I don’t know difference between a short tail and long tail. Thank you, Kara!
Glad it was helpful!
So simple, so accurate, so so helpful!! Thank you Kara!!
Glad it was helpful!
As usual, your ideas/instructions are very clear and logical. Thanx bunches!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video! I'm brand new to Etsy and working on improving my SEO - will definitely be giving this a try.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, Kara! I’ve been thinking a lot about this and wondering where to go. This is great information!
You are so welcome!
I just found your videos and I am loving your presentations. I hope to put your suggestions to work in my pitiful little Etsy shop. Thanks!
Welcome to our corner of youtube where we bust the Etsy SEO myths!
I have a fairly new shop. This is great information. Thanks much.
Thanks for watching!
One of the best advice on this topic. Thank You !
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you Kara, very informative and useful 🙌
Thanks for watching!
These videos are so good. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
thank you for you ( always) very helpful content!
Super helpful and the best part.....easy! Thank you :)
You're welcome!
Thank you! I find this really doable.
You're so welcome!
Hello, thank you for your valuable information. I've watched hundreds of videos on CZcams and tiktok videos learning how to use Etsy effectively to be successful for a month now. It has been exhausting and overwhelming but after watching your videos, I'm ready to go at it and open my shop with ease. I've been binge watching all of your videos. They are extremely helpful and the best channel I've found that's straight forward without trying to sell something to get the best of the necessary info. I have a few questions below
When creating the title, do I put a comma after each keyword?
I'm using an account I created in 2011 that I never opened a store with but I used to purchase from other Etsy sellers. I changed the name and email address to my new shop name. Is it safe to use this account? I'm sure it will be successful because I'm prepared to do the work to make sure it's a success.
You can use your old account, and just write your titles like normal sentences that tell what the thing is. Don't just put a list of keywords, that's not good for customers or the search engine. And thanks for watching!
@@KaraBuntin Ok. Great. I’m sure after watching all of your videos, I’ll have success with my shop. I’ll check in with my results when I get my first sale 🙂 I decided to sell on Etsy because of the handmade item I created, I’ve already sold 100+ in a Facebook group. This is the next step to other eyes on it before I create a website.
Dear thank you so much i will follow you for my etsy store thanks
You’re welcome 😊
Really helpful video! Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Kara. Do you think the alphabet soup method still works in 2024? And is Marmalaed still your recommended Etsy keyword tool?
Yes it is, and alphabet soup is as good as any method for a starting point.
Thank you for this. How would I be doing this in eRank ? And how long would I give a listing to see if the updated keywords/tags are a success ? I've heard everything from a few hours to half a year...
I don’t use erank, i only recommend Marmalead. I would give it a couple of months if you’re getting traffic at all, but there’s no rule about that that works for everyone.
Hello Kara, I used to watch a lot of your keyword research videos and I wanted to know if going for 1000-2000 competition keywords is worth when creating a NEW Etsy shop. As always good content so I leave my like.
Yes, and the lower the better.
I have noticed a few things that lead me to believe that I win high competition keywords mainly when a customer has already favorited or purchased one of my pieces. I’m not sure if there’s anyway to take advantage of this.
There really isn’t. As long as your keywords include a mix of high low and medium, Etsy will show you for what they show you for.
The RYG color codes are the competition colors from Marmalead, correct?
They're red green and yellow like stop lights. There's no connection between the levels that I chose and Marmalead, the colors are just to give you a quick visual.
Hi there, how do u handle tags that are over 20 characters, for long tail key words? Thanks!
Just split them up into two tags that read in sequence
Good video 👍 when you said low competition keywords, could they be low comp because there is no search volume? How do we know if those keywords are even being searched for ? Do you use google for that part ?
I use Marmalead for that part, but if you know that the main part of the keyword does get searched, then you can assume that variations on it also do have some traffic.
How important is search volume? I found a few long tail keywords with only a couple hundred search results and several best sellers but using Etsy tools the search volume is very low
Since listings are found for more than one keyword, and since all of the tools that estimate traffic are low when the search volume is on the lower side, I would jump on that keyword like crazy. You'll get more searches than the tools say, and there will be related searches that it's also found for.
I learn Jwelvery
I don't know, the low-mid-high is kind of random for everyone, because some people's shop can compete for harder keywords. If your shop is new you should go for the low competition and set the ranges lower.
What exactly do you mean by “going through the alphabet”? Do you actually put each letter starting with a next to your key word?
Yes, it's a common way to see what the search bar is going to autopopulate. Bloggers have been doing it on Google for years.
@@KaraBuntin thank you so much
So the words that pop up as suggestions...are these words that buyers have typed in to search?
They're recent searches but not necessarily good ones. We made "squid flavored candy" show up in autosuggest in this video: czcams.com/video/DdoSZT5M3NE/video.html
@@KaraBuntin ..ok thank you. What is your take on Erank?
@@sweetbeep I only use Marmalead, it's the most accurate that I can see as far as how it lines up with my own shop stats.
@@KaraBuntin ..ok thank you!
Hi when putting your high medium and low words for seo such as in your title ..do they have to go in order such as low medium high? Or do they all have to be low competition because I am pretty new to Etsy. thanks so much in advance. Donna
They don't have to go in any specific order in the title, they just have to make sense!
@@KaraBuntin thanks so much
Do you think Erank is bad to use? Will it possibly lead us down the path?
I only use Marmalead because I find that it's the most accurate when I compare it to my own stats.
@@KaraBuntin ...so you have found that sale samurai is not as good as marmalead?
@@sweetbeep I've tested all of the research tools because they're always writing to me to try to get me to promote them on this channel. I usually put all three of my shops into them to see if the data they spit out is accurate, and it never is. And it's off by A LOT. Marmalead is the most accurate one that I've used.
Do you look at the search volume for each keyword or do you just gloss over it entirely?
I look at it to validate searches for short tail keywords, but I’m not too concerned about it for long tails.
I have an older Etsy store and a New Store, Due to Supply shortages, I am going to have to close my older store. Or would I be better off closing my new store and transferring all my new items over to the old store as it has a much better ranking. Would that be better for my SEO and traffic? Old store ranks 24,314 New store is ranking at 313,000 or does store ranking matter? Thank you.
Etsy doesn’t hand out store rankings so that figure is probably meaningless…But if the older ship has more sales, it would make sense to switch things there.
@@KaraBuntin Thanks, ranking is from Erank.
@@concreteblue22 Yeah, I wouldn't rely on that!
I find fake sale alerts so annoying. I am a new Etsy seller and every new sale is so exciting to me. I have had several fake sale alerts recently. It is very disappointing.
It could be that Etsy cancelled the sale because of payment problems. When they do that the order just disappears and we don't get a notification.
@@KaraBuntin Oh, OK. I thought it was just the Etsy page getting confused about notifications for sale items I have favorited and an Actual on my store. Thanks for responding.
Ok so even I sign out from Etsy and do this on my Etsy search....won't it already be contaminated with my phone or PCs cache or cookies and skew the results? (From my past use)
Thank you!
The best thing to do is to use a browser that you've never signed into your shop on, plus an incognito browser. You're never going to get a totally 100% perfect result, but just use the info and your best judgment.
@@KaraBuntin ...so install a completely new browser on my device for this, like puffin?
@@sweetbeep I wouldn't go that far, just use an incognito page on a browser that isn't signed into your shop and get a general picture of what's going on.
@@KaraBuntin ... thanks
hello could I send you a pm, I'm not sure I understood everything
Just post the questions here, it will help other people!
@KaraBuntin I have a lot to write and I won't be able to write everything here because CZcams doesn't let me,
first of all I wanted to ask you if you use artificial intelligence? pair with make?
I mean could it allow me to do keyword research automatically?
and still regarding the keywords I wanted to know if the keywords for etsy are the same as for Google, Facebook, Amazon...
@@cgc2300 I don't use Ai for keyword research at all, but some people do. I think it's better to use your brain because keywords are just words, but it gets tricky when you look at how long tail keywords work. A tool can tell you that "Gift for a chicken coop owner" is a bad keyword to use because the search is low, but if you use your brain and see that there's also "chicken coop owner gift," "gift for owner of a chicken coop," "Chicken owner gift for coop" as things that people search for, they all add up. AI only looks at the most likely next word based on what it's been trained on, so this is one situation where you don't want to be lazy about it.
Keywords are just words, like I said, but you have to think about why people search on different platforms because that will change the things they type in. I use similar keywords across different platforms, so things that work in one place will likely work in other places, but when I do Google keyword research I don't go to etsy to look for that, I go to Google.
