HUGE Etsy SEO Update 2022: Here's How to Write Descriptions to Optimize your SEO 

So many people talk about how essential SEO is, but no one ever explains how to do it. This makes so much sense!

Thank you Heather! As a new Etsy seller, SEO, title, tags, description are topics that my husband and I are really trying to grasp. Big help!

Hi Heatherstudio, teaching should be your specialty. That was truly amazing! Thank you.

Hi Heather!!! Awesome, Thank You so much for your SEO information, It is helping me!!!! 😊

Excellent teaching!!! Just got started with my Etsy store and have 12 listing as of today so I'm going to make sections now. I hope to have my store set up and ready for Q4!!! Will watch more of your videos and put all of the valuable instructions in place! Thanks for your kindness and teachings here!!! Congratulations and continued success to you!!!

Thank you so much!! This is the most helpful video I've found to understand how this new Etsy update works now.

Heather, This was extremely helpful. I was at a lost for how to write the descriptions when I initially started my store. This video was so straightforward and it really gave me a good formula to work with for my next listing. Thanks again.😊

So very helpful Heather-thank you! Your advice is straight forward, clear to follow and understand. Applying all of this to my store now!

Thank you Heather! Great information. Super appreciated!

Awesome info... new at this and really appreciate your channel...thank you

This was so helpful! I’m so grateful to have found your channel :)

thank you so much. very helpful!

Thanks for showing the bulk editing, great refresher. I also appreciate the specific examples of long and short term keywords, it makes it easier to wrap my brain around😆

This was so helpful! Thanks so much.

Years ago we were told to have title words in your listing descriptions. Then we were told no. So I edited 300 listings. Weeks ago we were told you needed the title words in the descriptions. Took me a week to change them all again.

Heather, are you a teacher altogether? You're awesome!

Awesome tips! I noticed you mentioned at the 16:45 mark that Etsy uses the first 160 "words" used ast Meta Descriptions but I thought I saw it say first 160 characters. Perhaps I misunderstood? Hoping someone else sees this and knows the answer. Thanks in advance!!!

This is a very thorough and helpful video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This was so helpful, Heather. Thank you!

Wow this was really great! I just re-opened my Etsy shop and this update was very helpful. I did not know about the bulk editing feature (whew, a life saver lol!) Definitely updating my listing descriptions and adding more listings ASAP. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much. Just did it now while watching your video. Thanks for making it so easy to follow and understand 💜💜💜

I enjoy your videos. I've learned a lot of POD and Etsy from you! Side note (and I hope you don't mind me saying so), you are absolutely gorgeous!

This is so helpful Heather! I think I need to optimize my SEO cause I think I was doing them wrong lol specially my descriptions.

Thank you so much! I am going to be opening my shop soon, and this was super helpful!

Great! Thank you!!!

There's so much in this video, thanks for sharing your knowledge in such a clear way with explainer graphics

Great content,thank you.

This was so helpful and clear to understand :)

Thanks again for helpful tips

Your video was so helpful, thank you! Maybe it's because I am on cold medicine right now but I found it a little hard to concentrate with all of the button noises in the background. it probably is just me though haha! Thank you so much for the advice.

Thank you for this video. So for your title it seems like you’re word stuffing, is this a no for Etsy? Or is it ok?

Heather great info! Thanks! Never thought of this. Question. Do you think copying these descriptions to your listings in your Shopify store listings would help your google or other internet rankings reach a higher mark? Appreciate you!

Really helpful, thank you for sharing this.

what i been look for

I remember when titles were actually titles. This is how saturated things are nowadays. You gotta put multiple keywords as the title just to be seen. Not a complaint. Rather is remembrance

Great info, thanks!

This is gold

Can you make a SALES section as well, using its contents to post on socials and boost? Or leave them categorized as you showed? Do I make sense? So much info 🥰

@heatherstudio, This was great tutorial thank you. I don't why but I thought we had to use the same keywords from our title to add in our tags and descriptions. So we can use other relatable keywords in our description and tags that are not in our title? Sorry SEO is the thing that confuses me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Does is hurt your shop for descriptions to be the same for multiple listings?

I thought if you edited your listings or descriptions once your listing has been up for a while, it would mess up your ranking and kind start your listing over??? Help thanks so much!!!

You didn't mention keyword research

Is it the first 160 words, or characters?

It's the first 160 characters according to the help article, but you've said 160 words.

Is it better to have categories or separate Etsy shop if they are completely different niches.

Just one question. R u are voice of google?? Literally so robotic lol other than that thank you so much. Working in iy

For the last 20+ years when it came to SEO we have been adding keywords and titles to tax the listing descriptions and shop categories or shop sections websites and social media it’s nothing new under the sun perhaps Etsy is finally catching up

Hi Heather , quick question. How many listings did you have in total in your first year.

Is it bad that I have similar tags for similar niches ? I use everbee to help me choose my tags.

👍

What are your thoughts on duplicating listings with different titles and tags?
