Hi Alice, the latest version of this video is out tomorrow, here is the new video link, it premieres tomorrow night, it would be good to see you there! th-cam.com/video/CcS_tkaWuL0/w-d-xo.html
This may have given me some school PTSD i didnt know i had, but this was the best video i have watched for an Etsy how to. No trying to sell you a £4k course or vauge hints at what you should be doing. Just really straightforward tips! Thank you!
I agree, so tired of watching tutorials that promise to tell you everything you need to know, then they always leave out an important ingredient in the recipe and want you to buy the course. These are really informative tutorials, I am binge watching them, lol
Totally agree. It is nice to not have to pull out my credit card to get so much simple information that does not take weeks of study to understand. A BIG THANK YOU.
Your other "Etsy SEO in 10 Minutes" has served me well! I implemented my store mid-August 2023, and I did my SEO and tags following your formula, and currently have a 12.1% conversion rate. I'm eager to hear this SEO update! Thank you, Nik, for all of your sound advice amongst the confusion and hype!
After watching your live I listed an item and applied what you taught us. I am out if words, 10 min later 2 ppl have favorited the item, it means my SEO worked. Now I am going to work on all the other listings. It is a very new store with few item, one new daily, applying all you taught us. Thank you!!!!!
Honestly the best SEO explanation and step by step guide I’ve EVER come across. I tried the steps with one product in my Etsy store and it immediately went from the dungeon to the first page on EVERY Keyword combo I could imagine. Some pages were hundred of products and a few thousands, and my one product still ranked on the first page. Now fingers crossed I begin getting sales. Working on month 3 and I’m still extremely hopeful and excited.
I found the same thing with my listings, however, I found something strange as well. when I checked the same search and same search link with a different browser where I'm not logged in, it was different 🤔 I wonder why that is
@@sabbib007madness I imagine Etsy has a user profile foe each visitor, so in your case it already knew you were interested in that sort of product. Probably a good idea to check your listings by opening an incognito browser window and searching etsy from there
Just so you know browser caching can show your recent viewed items. So if i load one of my products on the etsy store to see how it looks - next time I search from the same browser there I am for that product but only for me. Clear my cache and im gone. It can be deceptive but if you search in a different browser you may not see the same great results.

I must say that I am impressed and that is hard to do. So many TH-camrs fill their videos with fluff, stories, and give 6 star information. You, sir, are giving the 10 star version. No fluff.

The best video - dummy-proof video I have ever seen about SEO. The best part is he explained without jargon and made it simple to understand. I think most TH-camrs keep the information to a minimum - almost to not tell you their secrets; while trying to add value while saying pay for my course instead…..This video was very valuable and he never pitched shit about some class to do it. He just put it out there and made it easy to learn. Kudos for getting started and no rambling like most TH-camrs that don’t shut up and start. For the love of god thank you!!!!❤❤❤
Oh my goodness. I am so new to etsy. This info is outstanding, sensible, or confusing! I have been down so many rabbit holes ! Thank you! I am going back to look at your previous video as well.
This is perhaps the best explainer video I have ever watched. I was hesitant when I saw the white board, but you are bang on the point of every single section and then on to the next. Not only do you tell us what to do, but why! Thank you, can't wait to put these into action.
Thanks, just a heads up, the new 2025 edition of this video premieres tonight, it would be great to see you there, link to join is: th-cam.com/video/OxXvEIBbyTE/w-d-xo.html
This makes so much sense. I think most people try too hard and overthink this, I know I have been, but I will be trying this method. Many thanks for the brilliant video!
Wow, thank you, I just canceled my subscription to one of those tools that had me spending hours doing that keyword research. I have been studying SEO and Etsy since September 2024, and although today I only have 5 listings in my store, I know that from today I will have more listings. Eternally grateful.
thank you so much for this! everything that's stated here debunked all the videos, tips and tutorials that i have watched and tried yet nothing works out. the moment you said " no tools needed just common sense" i knew i'm on the amazing video! I SUPR APPRECIATE THIS. GODBLESS YOU! 💛
Hi, the latest version of this video is out tomorrow, here is the new video link, it premieres tomorrow night, it would be good to see you there! th-cam.com/video/CcS_tkaWuL0/w-d-xo.html
This is so clear and easy to follow. Everyone else just makes me feel like a struggling third grader on the first day of school. Hope this is effective because I mean to use every technique in this video.
I had to setup a new shop after moving country. I have only 3 listing up yet. The 3rd one I followed your advice and I have about 50 views in a couple of days. Been put on the front page of the listing and there are a number of established shops in this niche. Its in 5 baskets and 2 private message requests for custom orders of the same product only bigger. And I would say my pics are still not good enough. So thank you sir. Your advice is nail on the head!
Your complimentary SEO mini course is incredibly valuable, even easier than I had anticipated. I am extremely grateful for your generosity. Thank you so much for this amazing resource.
Oh, my goodness, I could hug you right now! I have been overwhelmed, frustrated and discouraged about Etsy SEO - how it was taking me so much time but yielding so little results. This was so simple and straightforward and actually doable. I'm excited to put this method into practice and get the income results I need for my family! Thank you so, so much!
You are the best instructor. Today was my first day of following your method. I wrote mine out for sweatshirts as you summarized for notepad. Great system and easy to follow. Thank you, thank you.
your first SEO video was already pure gold, this is even better ! I stopped using tools last year when I watched it and I'm not doing so bad, although I still need to improve.
I can't THANK YOU enough! THIS is the type of information I needed to hear -- common sense without all the get rich quick hype. What you said really makes sense and you broke it down into simple and easy to understand explanations. I'm a visual learner and the white board teaching was fantastic. I kept pausing your video to tweak some of my listings. You've got a new subscriber here!
This is a relief, and the sort of quality/material I was looking for. I was in contact with an 'seo expert' and listened to other peoples advices on the internet about SEO, and there can be a lot of hype and rubbish in it. You cut through it with clear and simple approaches, great. Many thanks for this!
QUICK QUESTION: How do you feel about filling out the Alt Text on Images? I don't hear anyone mention it much although Etsy says that it affects the offsite SEO results. I fill it out on other websites that I have built, but should I on Etsy?
Hi, I have addressed this once before, fill out Etsy image alt tags once you have started to make sales, so that the external traffic is not the primary source of your store traffic.
No problem, I have a new version of this video that premieres tonight, would be good to see you there, link to watch: th-cam.com/video/OxXvEIBbyTE/w-d-xo.html
I've heard that updating/editing a listing sets it back in etsy's quality score as if it were a brand new listing trying to gain traction. What is your advice on editing tags and titles? (eg, edit only a duplicate listing?). Really happy I found you and your video today. Just what I need to refresh my shop. Thank you.
Hi Jolene, my advice is don't edit titles and tags of listings that are selling. Listings that have no sales can be edited freely. The reason for listings dropping when SEO is edited is not lost quality score (that comes from making the SEO change), but simply due to the fact that the seller has removed a keyword that was being searched for and replaced it with another that people are not looking for.
Regarding title and tags = do you fill up all the space within the tag length limit? And do you repeat words ie "[Landscape Gardener] Journal", [Landscape Gardener] Workbook", [Landscape Gardener] Planner" etc? And, should you do that in your keywords repeating [Landscape Gardener]... or is saying it once enough? Thank you!
Thank You! Really good, I think I'm getting it, the 'doesn't have to make sense' was hanging me up before, I was comparing to other sellers..... So according to what you are saying , I only need to use 'Gift For' once in the entire listing because Etsy will find it? Thanks again.
Hi. Have you done any videos on shipping. I am uk based, using prinity on etsy but can't figure out how to set up shipping so it's sent from the UK for UK customers and US for US customers. Love your videos x
Hi, thanks for being here! This should be done by Printify, when you send your listings over to Etsy. They will fulfil the orders from where their production facilities are.
The amount of time i've wasted watching desprately other videos from people wanting just to get views. Thank you so much, i feel like i can actually do something that may finally help!
Thank you Nik! I've heard you shouldn't update tags or titles for your listings that are selling. But if this method will work better, do you think its worth the "risk" to update?
This was sooooo incredibly helpful! Had to subscribe. This was simplified, not confusing at all and put into a practical format I can use all the time. I appreciate the info. Thank you so much!
This is great information and training! I’ve always worried about not posting enough on social for Etsy, but no more. That time can be well spent on my shop instead. Have you ever worked with a shop that is strictly ephemera and vintage paper? I’d be interested in what you might be able to help me with. My shop is about 15 years old and it’s steady, but I’d like for it to be much busier.
Interesting store niche, yes I can help you, feel free to book in for a 30 minute consultation on the link below: etsy-consultant.com/services/30-minute-zoom-consultation/
I don't understand the "gift for" tag. Should I use it as a standalone tag, or can I use something like "gift for mom" and it will be crossmatched for other words on the pag? Or well will etsy treat the tag "gift for mom" and apply it as "gift fror "?
I’m going to argue that your tags are not as straight forward as you say at 18:00. This is marketing. And marketing is not something we often think about. And when we do, at least when we first get into selling, we don’t know what to do or say or think. What you are teaching is wonderful and important so we can get it and get better in time. But as a noob in this Etsy thing, it’s as new as it gets. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Question: Since the customer sees listing title and not tags, just wondering if “gift for” should be in the title instead of the tags because it suggests to the shopper it’s for gifting? Thank you immensely for this HIGHLY VALUABLE tutorial, Nik!!!
If the shopper is there to buy a gift, they don't need to be told that what they're looking at is potentially a gift. For instance, a couple of years ago, I had a friend who got his citizenship and I shopped for him a "new American citizen gift." I didn't need to see "gift for" in the titles of coffee mugs or keychains or passport covers to know they were a potential gift item. Etsy just needed to know that those were the sorts of things people would want to give someone as a gift in this circumstance. An American flag is not typically a gift, for example, but if it has someone's citizenship date embroidered on it, or it comes with a memorial plaque, then suddenly it's a gift. The shopper can make that distinction, but Etsy can't unless you tell it.
Excellent - concise and easy to understand! Quick Question: Does digital printable wall art go into the Digital Category or Digital Prints Category? I recently moved mine from Digital Prints to Digital in order to avoid confusion with POD products. Was I right? Oops, another question: Must you have Descriptive - Anchor in the tags? If Etsy crossmatches, could I for example have a tag like: "bold vivid dreamlike"??
I‘m a german etsy seller and currently use about 50/50 german and english tags, because (according to my research on eRank) germans are kinda used to search in english too. Do you happen to know if it’s enough to tag in one language and if etsy automatically translates them? I know etsy automatically translates german stores (tags, titles, descriptions) for people with an american IP address, but I‘m not sure if the german tag „Tisch“ would be found by someone with a german IP address whose searching for „table“, if you know what I mean.
Etsy does auto translate. I look in my search analytics, and I get a lot of stuff in other languages that I definitely don't have in my seo. I usually google translate to see what they were looking for haha
Fabulous video Nick, love it. So glad you mentioned we don’t need all those other search SEO sites as they charge a fortune for them anyway. A question for you. Do you suggest only alter a few listings like this, or clean out across the whole lot of the store? And how long does it take for the algorithm to start pulling through changes like this? Much appreciated. Love your work? I’ve also found that Etsy ads just seem to be a scam to me and they gobble up dollars with not even related information of my products. What’s your thoughts on Etsy Ads?
Hi, thanks Karin! Only do this work on new listings and listings with 0 sales, don't touch listings that are selling. Etsy ads are tough until your store starts to sell organically. Honestly if you need help just book in for a consultation with me, and I will make sure you don't make any mistakes, link is below if you would like to do this: etsy-consultant.com/services/30-minute-zoom-consultation/
Thank you so much for your simple informative guide! I love the design aspect but kept getting stuck on all the listing details, very frustrating and just makes you want to give up. Every TH-cam video is telling you something different and recommending this or that SEO tool, it all gets so confusing you don't know what to do. Your videos are helping so much and reigniting my determination to keep going with this. I will use your recommendations to be able to post consistently on Etsy and build success - greatly appreciated! ❤
Whenever I would search for the basics on SEO, I would always get the most vague answer with a link to their e course in the desscription. Thanks for the actual help you gave me.
I have had my shop for a year at the end of February. I just made my 1000th sale last night while I was sleeping. I think your video is gonna blow my shop up...I never looked at it the way you have described it. Your right, so many of these people say you can just put what it is you do not have to fill out the whole title, that's someone that Etsy pays...another one will tell you what you can and can't sell, infringments, and when she was explaining this was as I was opening my shop and she was so excited to show samples of what she has in her store and how they arrive, she had 3 infringements on the one video and she's top seller. Anyways I'm gonna start this method. THANK YOU SO MUCH🥰April
Thanks, I just started this journey and this is simple and easy to understand. One question I had, due to the cross matching you mentioned, is there any need to use a word in the tags that you have used in the title? Do you want to avoid repeating words in the title and tags? Thanks!
Was doing some changes in my home office and this was running on the background. Man I am so thankful I was listening carefully. So much useful information.
I genuinely appreciate the insightful and informative advice you've shared. Before I proceed to implement your suggestions, including potentially deviating from the commonly recommended practices like utilizing long keywords and placing tags in the description, I was hoping to inquire about any supporting sources (preferably direct Etsy resources) you might have regarding SEO on Etsy. Please understand that my intention isn't to question your expertise or experience as a consultant; rather, I believe it's prudent to verify the credibility of the advice I'm considering for my entire shop. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide! Your videos are excellent.
No problem at all, thanks for being here. The only resource Etsy has is the Seller Handbook, you can look at that if you like. I have been teaching Etsy for 10 years, I have hundreds of reviews online, you can see 8 years of reviews here on Upwork: www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ae270fc1d9865dcc That is more than anything anyone else will be able to show you (they won't show you anything!). Good luck!
This makes so much sense. Especially the cross matching, despite me being taught by a certain group that you only use phrases that auto populate in the search bar. They even tell you not to use the search analytics just because it says it's in beta, yet those are actual queries that bring up your listings in searches.
People teach alot of stuff on Etsy but it puts me off when they tell us to buy or check out the tools using their link.
You teaching us evrythg for free. Thanks a ton. I promise to like every video of urs. Thats the least I can do for you

I must say that I am impressed and that is hard to do. So many TH-camrs fill their videos with fluff, stories, and give 6 star information. You, sir, are giving the 10 star version. No fluff. Here’s what you do. To the point. It’s been a long time since I’ve clicked like on a video. This was worthy of a like and a high five! I’m hoping you have a class or way to support you. Take my money already! 😂
Wow, thank you!

I worked on my SEO listing while pausing and playing the video at the same time. I learned so much and came up with WAAAAAY better listings for my products. THANK YOU so much for generously sharing this information. New follower! ❤
Fantastic! I am glad to have you here!
Wished I had seen this video earlier. It would have saved me lots of time and money. Thank you so much for sharing!!
You are so welcome!

Stumbled across this video and thank god I did. At last someone who speaks plain English, no major technical jargon and no use of expensive sites.
Thank you, will go back through and see what other videos are appropriate.
Thanks Neil, you will find a lot more that are helpful!
One of the best videos I've seen. Thank you and keep up the awesome work.
Wow, thanks!

The best video - dummy-proof video I have ever seen about SEO. The best part is he explained without jargon and made it simple to understand. I think most TH-camrs keep the information to a minimum - almost to not tell you their secrets; while trying to add value while saying pay for my course instead…..This video was very valuable and he never pitched shit about some class to do it. He just put it out there and made it easy to learn. Kudos for getting started and no rambling like most TH-camrs that don’t shut up and start. For the love of god thank you!!!!❤❤❤
No problem at all, thank you for watching.
Oh my goodness. I am so new to etsy. This info is outstanding, sensible, or confusing! I have been down so many rabbit holes ! Thank you! I am going back to look at your previous video as well.
Hey, welcome in our community!
This is perhaps the best explainer video I have ever watched. I was hesitant when I saw the white board, but you are bang on the point of every single section and then on to the next. Not only do you tell us what to do, but why! Thank you, can't wait to put these into action.
Thanks, just a heads up, the new 2025 edition of this video premieres tonight, it would be great to see you there, link to join is: th-cam.com/video/OxXvEIBbyTE/w-d-xo.html
This makes so much sense. I think most people try too hard and overthink this, I know I have been, but I will be trying this method. Many thanks for the brilliant video!
Hey, thank you for your comment and good luck!
@@etsyconsultant Thank you. In the title should there be commas between the phrases or not?
Good question, hope he reads it. @@gottohaveone
@@gottohaveone Yes, use commas between the phrases.
Wow, thank you, I just canceled my subscription to one of those tools that had me spending hours doing that keyword research. I have been studying SEO and Etsy since September 2024, and although today I only have 5 listings in my store, I know that from today I will have more listings. Eternally grateful.
No problem, you now have the right path: Less SEO, more listings.
thank you so much for this! everything that's stated here debunked all the videos, tips and tutorials that i have watched and tried yet nothing works out. the moment you said " no tools needed just common sense" i knew i'm on the amazing video! I SUPR APPRECIATE THIS. GODBLESS YOU! 💛
You're so welcome!
Got into Etsy seller for about a week and thankfully found your video! Thanks a lot now i can make listing without any doubt! Thanks!
No problem, new version of this video coming soon.

Awesome, I am glad, no need to go down the rabbit hole.
This is so clear and easy to follow. Everyone else just makes me feel like a struggling third grader on the first day of school. Hope this is effective because I mean to use every technique in this video.

I’m late to the party, but this video is fantastic info I wish I’d found 6 months ago! 🎉 Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I had to setup a new shop after moving country. I have only 3 listing up yet. The 3rd one I followed your advice and I have about 50 views in a couple of days. Been put on the front page of the listing and there are a number of established shops in this niche. Its in 5 baskets and 2 private message requests for custom orders of the same product only bigger. And I would say my pics are still not good enough. So thank you sir. Your advice is nail on the head!
Thanks Vincent!
I love your videos! It's refreshing to hear the truth about so many things that you see and hear on TH-cam. Plus, the accent makes it even better. :)
Hi James, thank you very much for your kind words!
Your complimentary SEO mini course is incredibly valuable, even easier than I had anticipated. I am extremely grateful for your generosity. Thank you so much for this amazing resource.
Much appreciated!
Didn't know SEO is as easy as this. 😅 Thanks for this!
Happy to help!
Oh, my goodness, I could hug you right now! I have been overwhelmed, frustrated and discouraged about Etsy SEO - how it was taking me so much time but yielding so little results. This was so simple and straightforward and actually doable. I'm excited to put this method into practice and get the income results I need for my family! Thank you so, so much!
No problem at all, thanks for taking the time to watch it!
Hi there! Have you found the changes useful?😊
Hallelujah! - finally, someone has dispelled the SEO myth that cost me so much time and money. I doff my hat to you sir, Thank You.
Much appreciated!
Such a golden content! Much appreciated
Thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it.
Soooo much value in one video...
Thank you for your feedback!
You are the best instructor. Today was my first day of following your method. I wrote mine out for sweatshirts as you summarized for notepad. Great system and easy to follow. Thank you, thank you.
Hey Jackie, thank you for your feedback and good luck!

Please make a video on listing quality score and how to improve it?
Hey, thank you for your suggestion, noted!
Perfect clear description of how to do it. You’ve just unscrambled all the Guru info 👌 Thank you.
No problem, good to have you here Chantelle!
your first SEO video was already pure gold, this is even better ! I stopped using tools last year when I watched it and I'm not doing so bad, although I still need to improve.
Hello, I am happy you enjoyed watching them and they help you with your store!
Love the no nonsense approach. Smart, simple and trustworthy info!
Glad it was helpful!
I can't THANK YOU enough! THIS is the type of information I needed to hear -- common sense without all the get rich quick hype. What you said really makes sense and you broke it down into simple and easy to understand explanations. I'm a visual learner and the white board teaching was fantastic. I kept pausing your video to tweak some of my listings. You've got a new subscriber here!
Thank you very much and welcome on board!
This is a relief, and the sort of quality/material I was looking for. I was in contact with an 'seo expert' and listened to other peoples advices on the internet about SEO, and there can be a lot of hype and rubbish in it. You cut through it with clear and simple approaches, great. Many thanks for this!
You are very welcome!
QUICK QUESTION: How do you feel about filling out the Alt Text on Images? I don't hear anyone mention it much although Etsy says that it affects the offsite SEO results. I fill it out on other websites that I have built, but should I on Etsy?
Hi, I have addressed this once before, fill out Etsy image alt tags once you have started to make sales, so that the external traffic is not the primary source of your store traffic.
Thank you for sharing so much useful information.
Glad it was helpful!
No problem, I have a new version of this video that premieres tonight, would be good to see you there, link to watch: th-cam.com/video/OxXvEIBbyTE/w-d-xo.html
Nick, Thanks for your time in making this video. It was clear and to the point.
My pleasure!
I really appreciate this
Hey, I am so glad!
I've heard that updating/editing a listing sets it back in etsy's quality score as if it were a brand new listing trying to gain traction. What is your advice on editing tags and titles? (eg, edit only a duplicate listing?). Really happy I found you and your video today. Just what I need to refresh my shop. Thank you.
Hi Jolene, my advice is don't edit titles and tags of listings that are selling. Listings that have no sales can be edited freely. The reason for listings dropping when SEO is edited is not lost quality score (that comes from making the SEO change), but simply due to the fact that the seller has removed a keyword that was being searched for and replaced it with another that people are not looking for.
Finally someone with real valuable information and not trying to sell BS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Regarding title and tags = do you fill up all the space within the tag length limit? And do you repeat words ie "[Landscape Gardener] Journal", [Landscape Gardener] Workbook", [Landscape Gardener] Planner" etc? And, should you do that in your keywords repeating [Landscape Gardener]... or is saying it once enough? Thank you!
Can you reply to this, I'd like to know too😊
No need to repeat, as the video says, just fill your tags up with different but relevant keywords.
@@dyepmr09 See my reply to Kelly, thanks!
WOW, well explained, structured, so easy to understand. This is the best SEO video explanation so far! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome!
Thank You! Really good, I think I'm getting it, the 'doesn't have to make sense' was hanging me up before, I was comparing to other sellers..... So according to what you are saying , I only need to use 'Gift For' once in the entire listing because Etsy will find it? Thanks again.
Correct Alane!
Hello, hopefully I will see you at the big premiere tomorrow!:

Hi. Have you done any videos on shipping. I am uk based, using prinity on etsy but can't figure out how to set up shipping so it's sent from the UK for UK customers and US for US customers. Love your videos x
Hi, thanks for being here! This should be done by Printify, when you send your listings over to Etsy. They will fulfil the orders from where their production facilities are.
The amount of time i've wasted watching desprately other videos from people wanting just to get views. Thank you so much, i feel like i can actually do something that may finally help!
Glad I could help
Thank you Nik! I've heard you shouldn't update tags or titles for your listings that are selling. But if this method will work better, do you think its worth the "risk" to update?
No problem! Definitely do NOT update listings that are selling.
This was sooooo incredibly helpful! Had to subscribe. This was simplified, not confusing at all and put into a practical format I can use all the time. I appreciate the info. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
This is great information and training! I’ve always worried about not posting enough on social for Etsy, but no more. That time can be well spent on my shop instead. Have you ever worked with a shop that is strictly ephemera and vintage paper? I’d be interested in what you might be able to help me with. My shop is about 15 years old and it’s steady, but I’d like for it to be much busier.
Good question, as I have a shop selling the same types of items. Hope he reads this.

This is the best video I've seen on this subject 👏 🙌 simple and easy. Thank you very much for taking the time to share this with us.
I'm sincerely thankful for your supportive comment!
I don't understand the "gift for" tag. Should I use it as a standalone tag, or can I use something like "gift for mom" and it will be crossmatched for other words on the pag? Or well will etsy treat the tag "gift for mom" and apply it as "gift fror "?
Just stick it anywhere it fits in your keywords. As he said, it doesn’t have to make sense. Cram in as many words as you can.
Exactly.
Freecollege answered this one.
I’m going to argue that your tags are not as straight forward as you say at 18:00. This is marketing. And marketing is not something we often think about. And when we do, at least when we first get into selling, we don’t know what to do or say or think. What you are teaching is wonderful and important so we can get it and get better in time. But as a noob in this Etsy thing, it’s as new as it gets. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Question: Since the customer sees listing title and not tags, just wondering if “gift for” should be in the title instead of the tags because it suggests to the shopper it’s for gifting? Thank you immensely for this HIGHLY VALUABLE tutorial, Nik!!!
If the shopper is there to buy a gift, they don't need to be told that what they're looking at is potentially a gift. For instance, a couple of years ago, I had a friend who got his citizenship and I shopped for him a "new American citizen gift." I didn't need to see "gift for" in the titles of coffee mugs or keychains or passport covers to know they were a potential gift item. Etsy just needed to know that those were the sorts of things people would want to give someone as a gift in this circumstance. An American flag is not typically a gift, for example, but if it has someone's citizenship date embroidered on it, or it comes with a memorial plaque, then suddenly it's a gift. The shopper can make that distinction, but Etsy can't unless you tell it.
@@kerim.peardon5551 thank you for this feedback! 🙂
Agreed.
See Keri's comment!
Hey there, as previously mention, thank you for showing us how to help our Etsy shop unlike all the other youtubers.
You're welcome!
Excellent - concise and easy to understand!
Quick Question: Does digital printable wall art go into the Digital Category or Digital Prints Category? I recently moved mine from Digital Prints to Digital in order to avoid confusion with POD products. Was I right?
Oops, another question: Must you have Descriptive - Anchor in the tags? If Etsy crossmatches, could I for example have a tag like: "bold vivid dreamlike"??
@@Robyn-Lee-B You mean You Tube? No, I'm not on You Tube, but hey, maybe I have a twin??
@@Robyn-Lee-B Not at all!!
Digital prints sounds right Laurie.
Not sure about this, a comment must have been removed.
Same here.
This is by far the most valuable Etsy related video that I have ever seen in the last 3 years. Thank you so much for simplifying this information!!
Wow, thank you!
The most logical and clear tutorial ever, finally… Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I‘m a german etsy seller and currently use about 50/50 german and english tags, because (according to my research on eRank) germans are kinda used to search in english too. Do you happen to know if it’s enough to tag in one language and if etsy automatically translates them? I know etsy automatically translates german stores (tags, titles, descriptions) for people with an american IP address, but I‘m not sure if the german tag „Tisch“ would be found by someone with a german IP address whose searching for „table“, if you know what I mean.
Etsy does auto translate. I look in my search analytics, and I get a lot of stuff in other languages that I definitely don't have in my seo. I usually google translate to see what they were looking for haha
Etsy auto translates yes.
Correct they do.
This is so helpful!!
Glad you think so!

Fabulous video Nick, love it. So glad you mentioned we don’t need all those other search SEO sites as they charge a fortune for them anyway. A question for you. Do you suggest only alter a few listings like this, or clean out across the whole lot of the store? And how long does it take for the algorithm to start pulling through changes like this? Much appreciated. Love your work? I’ve also found that Etsy ads just seem to be a scam to me and they gobble up dollars with not even related information of my products. What’s your thoughts on Etsy Ads?
Hi, thanks Karin! Only do this work on new listings and listings with 0 sales, don't touch listings that are selling. Etsy ads are tough until your store starts to sell organically.
Honestly if you need help just book in for a consultation with me, and I will make sure you don't make any mistakes, link is below if you would like to do this:

I stumbled on a gem. Omg. You have helped me to understand everything I need to know. Thank you ❤
No problem at all, plenty more gems to be discovered!
I so glad I found this early on in my journey (about 150 listings). Going to overhaul my SEO properly from now!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your simple informative guide! I love the design aspect but kept getting stuck on all the listing details, very frustrating and just makes you want to give up. Every TH-cam video is telling you something different and recommending this or that SEO tool, it all gets so confusing you don't know what to do. Your videos are helping so much and reigniting my determination to keep going with this. I will use your recommendations to be able to post consistently on Etsy and build success - greatly appreciated! ❤
Hey, thank you for your kind feedback and good luck with your store!
Whenever I would search for the basics on SEO, I would always get the most vague answer with a link to their e course in the desscription. Thanks for the actual help you gave me.
Thank you for your kind words!
Clear and to the point. Thanks, Sr. Great, helpful content! Appreciate it!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is by far the best tutorial I have seen. Thank you so much 😊
You are so welcome!
I have had my shop for a year at the end of February. I just made my 1000th sale last night while I was sleeping. I think your video is gonna blow my shop up...I never looked at it the way you have described it. Your right, so many of these people say you can just put what it is you do not have to fill out the whole title, that's someone that Etsy pays...another one will tell you what you can and can't sell, infringments, and when she was explaining this was as I was opening my shop and she was so excited to show samples of what she has in her store and how they arrive, she had 3 infringements on the one video and she's top seller. Anyways I'm gonna start this method. THANK YOU SO MUCH🥰April
Thanks for subscribing, and for your thoughts, everything is a process!
yes it is@@etsyconsultant
Thank you for the update
No worries
Thanks, I just started this journey and this is simple and easy to understand.
One question I had, due to the cross matching you mentioned, is there any need to use a word in the tags that you have used in the title? Do you want to avoid repeating words in the title and tags?
Thanks!
This is huge huge help especially for me who’s new to Etsy, thank you so much!
I'm so glad!
Thank you for all the informations! Much Love from Jesteburg-Germany
Thanks for watching!
Very helpfully… Thanks
No worries.
Was doing some changes in my home office and this was running on the background. Man I am so thankful I was listening carefully. So much useful information.
Hi Boris, here to help!
I must say WELL DONE SIR!!!!!!!! Thank you! A true learning pleasure!!!!!
Thank you very much. I really appreciate that!
I genuinely appreciate the insightful and informative advice you've shared.
Before I proceed to implement your suggestions, including potentially deviating from the commonly recommended practices like utilizing long keywords and placing tags in the description, I was hoping to inquire about any supporting sources (preferably direct Etsy resources) you might have regarding SEO on Etsy.
Please understand that my intention isn't to question your expertise or experience as a consultant; rather, I believe it's prudent to verify the credibility of the advice I'm considering for my entire shop. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide! Your videos are excellent.
No problem at all, thanks for being here.
The only resource Etsy has is the Seller Handbook, you can look at that if you like.
I have been teaching Etsy for 10 years, I have hundreds of reviews online, you can see 8 years of reviews here on Upwork:
www.upwork.com/freelancers/~01ae270fc1d9865dcc
That is more than anything anyone else will be able to show you (they won't show you anything!).
Good luck!
I love the master class on SEO. It will help me a lot with listing my products on Etsy. This was a great and information class. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This makes so much sense. Especially the cross matching, despite me being taught by a certain group that you only use phrases that auto populate in the search bar. They even tell you not to use the search analytics just because it says it's in beta, yet those are actual queries that bring up your listings in searches.
Too many people don't know how search works, and there is a ton of bad advice out there, be careful!
Thank you so much for this!
You're welcome!
Brilliant! Thank you so much for your information and how you presented it all. I'm subscribing now. You are a breath of fresh air 😊
Welcome aboard!
This is great…I’m relaunching my store and I was getting stuck on this and now I’m unstuck!!! Implementing this strategy immediately 🤗🤗🤗🤗
