If you want to know exactly what you need to do to give your shop the best possible chance of success in search results (other than just having awesome stuff), you might want to check out this PDF download directly from Etsy.

Click the button above to download the PDF guide directly from Etsy. In this comprehensive guide, you’ll find all of the most important steps to positioning your shop for good SEO results.

But there are two important things to remember and never forget!

1. It’s all About Your Stuff

All the great SEO in the world won’t matter if the things you sell in your shop aren’t remarkable. You have to start with a great product, then get great photography, then worry about some of the SEO things like Item Descriptions and Listing Titles.

The O in SEO. Most people think it stands for “optimization”. I think it stands for Over, and over, and over, and over again. Because it’s repetition for, like, ever, that makes it work.

But, stick with it and the O will take on a new meaning. You’ll be saying “Oh, it worked!” and “Oh! Another sale!”

Just don’t expect it to be done in two weeks. This stuff takes awhile.
