What Is Etsy SEO & Why Is It Important?

Etsy SEO is the process of optimising your Etsy business, including your listings and shop, to rank higher in Etsy search. In other words, Etsy SEO is about making your Etsy shop and products more noticeable on Etsy.


The goal of doing Etsy SEO is to get more people to visit your Etsy shop. Having more visitors to your shop means more chances to sell your items. The more people see your products, the more likely you can make a sale. That's why it's so important to understand and optimise your business for Etsy SEO.
