Compare Etsy Keywords

Put two or more Etsy search terms side by side on demand, opportunity, competition and seasonality.

Keywords, comma separated Up to five

Try one

List two to five terms, separated by commas. Every score lines up in its own column, and the strongest number in each row is marked.

Most keyword decisions are not “is this good” but “which of these two”. Scored separately, two terms are hard to weigh against each other; side by side it takes seconds.

How to read this

Enter up to five terms separated by commas.

Opportunity against competition is the pairing that decides it. The term with lower volume and higher opportunity is almost always the better first listing.

Check lifecycle stage before committing: a declining term with a great opportunity score is usually just a market people have left.

This is the tool for choosing between phrases you already have. To find candidates in the first place, the niche finder sweeps for them; to see who holds the winner, use shops winning a keyword. Which of them earns one of your thirteen tag slots is worked through in the thirteen Etsy tags.

Questions

How do I pick between two similar keywords?
Compare demand against competition rather than either alone. The better keyword is usually the one with slightly less demand and far less competition, because a share of a smaller search beats invisibility in a larger one.
Is high volume always better?
No, and this is the mistake that costs new sellers the most time. High volume with heavy competition means your listing is never seen. Moderate volume you can actually rank for produces more sales.
What competition level should a new shop target?
Target keywords where page one includes shops of a similar size to yours. That is a more useful test than any fixed competition number, because it tells you whether new listings ever break through.
How many keywords can I compare at once?
Up to five in one run. Comparing two or three closely related phrases you are genuinely choosing between is more useful than filling all five with unrelated ones.
