What is the My Shop tool?
The Etsy My Shop tool is a great way to quickly find listings that may need some more love. The tool grades each one of your listings on an A+ to F scale with the ability to sort listings by grade. The grading criteria consists of:
- Tags: For the best tag grade, aim to use all 13 tags allowed by Etsy.
- Titles: We believe the ideal title length is 75-90 characters. This range allows for a concise product description and guarantees visibility across all devices, including the Etsy app and its mobile, tablet, and desktop sites. For help writing better titles, try our Etsy Title Generator.
- Images: Photos are the best way to sell your product. For the best images grade, aim to use all 10 images allowed by Etsy.
Benefits of Using the Etsy My Shop Tool
The My Shop tool doesn’t ensure a top ranking in Etsy search results, but it aids in refining key aspects of your listings that are often missed, significantly boosting their prospects. Here are the key advantages:
- Time savings: Navigating through numerous listings can be daunting and time-intensive. The My Shop tool simplifies this process, allowing you to quickly identify and update listings that need refinement. Focus on easily adjustable elements like tags, titles, and images to rejuvenate older listings and attract more attention.
- Enhanced listing quality & consistency: Quickly identify listings that need improvement and understand specific areas for enhancement, leading to overall better listing quality.
- Increased visibility: By optimizing tags, titles, and images based on the tool’s feedback, your listings are more likely to rank higher in Etsy searches, increasing their visibility to potential customers.
- Time savings: If you have a lot of Etsy listings, sifting through each one can be time consuming. The My Shop tool lets you quickly find the listings that can use some optimization. You might have old listings that have not been getting any attention that might be boosted by taking care of the low hanging fruit such as optimizing your tags and making your your title and images are in order.
Keep in mind that several factors influence your listings’ performance in Etsy search results. A listing with a lower grade could rank highly, whereas one with a higher grade might not. If your listing has a strong sales history, it’s wise to leave it alone.
Happy selling!
