You're point that the short keywords is in the long one seams like such a critical point. This is a subtlety that connected the dots for me, Priceless clarity thank you.
You'll probably never see this, but you are the most helpful person on this planet with it comes to Etsy! You are so knowledgeable and easy to understand. I love your straight forward videos of exactly what I need. Thank you!!
I keep coming back to your page because you tell it like it is. Your channel helped me to launch my Etsy store and become a star seller after 3 months of the launch. Thanks.
I've watched a bunch of your videos, good stuff. I watched the "Complete Etsy SEO webinar" just before this. Perhaps it's because your voice was echoing in my head from that listen - but I found this video your best explanation of keywords, titles, and tags. You have the sanest view of Esty that I've come across. Thanks.
Venturing into selling on Etsy shortly with my wife, I must say, this video was extremely insightful, informative and helpful. Watched/Listened to it with my wife. Thanks for sharing! - Howie
I’m not sure that I 100% understand and “get it” but after finding your channel and group, and implementing the strategies to the best of my understanding, I have seen REAL improvement in my shop. Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Kara for all you do! I’ve been watching and listening since your episode on marmalead about big butts! I look forward to your Tuesday lives every week about Etsy and all your years of knowledge you share.
Another excellent video…I’m so enjoying watching your content. Your straight forward language and explaining things is great - no fluffing about it honestly feels like your just having a general conversation with someone. I’m slowly going through your videos & have learnt heaps so far & also the things you say have actually validated what I’ve been doing on my own without guidance so happy to know I’ve been on the right track - look forward to learning more 🤗
Very interesting, I like how you use anchor keywords and break them down from there. I guess I’m not breaking down my anchor keywords enough and instead putting my listings under high competition keywords even though I try to be specific. Thank you for sharing this I always learn something from you!
How did you get these 75 keywords? Did you analyze 30 pages of Etsy, listing after listing? 😱 Btw, I've been binging your videos for the last week ans have joined the fb group! 🤩
Yes I did, I went through the stats for that listing and pulled out everything that had the words "wafer paper" in it. That's what the spreadsheet that I show in the video was.
Thanks, this is super helpful and honestly a relief. Sometimes I feel like I'm pressured to NOT use my brain in these keyword decisions, lol. Do you have any advice for how to maintain long-tail keyword results when you sell one-of-a-kind pieces?
@@KaraBuntin Finally! That's what I was hoping. I'm so used to having OOAK stuff be hard to market but this is how I did it in the "old Etsy days." I was afraid it was no longer relevant. Thanks for your response.
I would like to be found for "mens wool kippah" or "mens wool kippot". Am I figuring it right that 'wool kippah' or 'mens kippah', et al, get my listings found, as well as the longer phrasing? And that all I need are the longer phrases in my tags, Etsy pulls them apart to get the shorter phrases. With a lack of descriptive words (other than color, fiber content, size or gender), I feel stuck. If I'm doing this right...am I on the right track? I know the niche is fairly tiny (thank the Maker, I hated making jewelry in school, lol!).
I like this video a lot. Thank you thank you. I use Marmalead but all of the long tail keywords that best describe my listings have good search, lie competition but the engagement is always red and registers at on a number of 25 so I have been hesitant to use these terms because the engagement is just so low.
let's say you write in your tags (wafer paper) (with pink roses), would you then do another tag like (transparent wafer paper) or would you not repeat "wafer paper" ever again? ahhhh so many rules - you mentioned the research is much less complicated than people make it seem, but then pulled out a 75-word spreadsheet that was semi verified by SEO tools😅❤️ and if you have more time, I'm in the clothing niche. Example: (women's mountain) (shirt with stars) (boho moon and sun) (celestial shirt) (for her best friend), am I supposed to not repeat the word shirt or include it at all since it would be in the shirt category?
I would include shirt if it’s in an exact word order match keyword that you want to send a stronger signal for, but you don’t HAVE to. For the wafer paper thing, i would write wafer paper with pink roses, then the other tags would be things like “transparent edible” “printed cake decorating” or whatever. They all go with wafer paper to make longer words, but since i already used it once, and the longer words would have less competition, i don’t need the word order match, so i don’t need to repeat wafer paper again.
Hello, a customer purchased an item and I already by etsy shipping. But she asked for the order to be cancelled. I cancelled. (does etsy refund the shipping I paid or give me credit for it? Thank you.
If you didn’t ship the package you can ask for a refund for the unused label, it should be in the order itself in the shipping section. Look from something that says “refund label “
So basically in your tags you should start with one short tail keyword and expand upon it? Also, if you use the same keyword for different listings won't they be competing against each other?
That's pretty much it. And you don't compete with yourself in the sense of being limited to how many listings can show up for that keyword, because Etsy doesn't have those limits in place. You can appear multiple times on a single search result page for the same keyword.
Super helpful video. I am still struggling to get my head around SEO, it hasn't quite clicked yet, but this video has helped my understanding greatly. In fact, all your videos are helping. My sales come through things other than Etsy search, so my SEO must be rubbish 😂 Just to clarify in my head, apologies for dimness, do we come up with long tail keywords and then just split them up to fit in the tags? Also, you mentioned 'send a little traffic yourself', how do we do that? I really do apologise if this is a dumb question! 😶 I'm going to make a Kara Buntin SEO video playlist and watch them all again til it clicks! 🤓😨🤕 I have the keyword tracker but not used it yet .... I think the time is now 😁
I’m going to do another seo video because there are questions about this one that tell me people still don’t get it! Traffic would be through social media etc.
@@KaraBuntin Ah, I did wonder if you meant social media. That's good, I thought I was missing something. Thanks so much for your videos, they are really clear, informative and helpful. I find a penny drops every time I watch them; just waiting for that big waterfall of pennies to drop! 😂 I will get it eventually. It's funny trying to explain something to folk when one finds it so straightforward, takes a lot of patience. I've been involved in training people; it can be frustrating, but very satisfying when they finally say 'Oh, yeah, I get it now. How did I not get that??' 😄 Thanks again!
No, Kara doesn't. But if you get into her Facebook group (see the video description notes)(ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS), you can ask the group, which has some great, knowledgeable folks.
I don't anymore, but if you want a shop review form someone who I endorse because she's in my EShop group and knows what to look for, you can check with Mary Avelis here: lilfoxdesigns.com/collections/digital-services
Dear Kara I tried to join your Facebook group and I have been declined the reason was I didn’t answer the 3 questions so I did it again and got the same I don’t know what am I doing wrong
Okay Etsy Gang, I have looked all over. Why I can't place my update on the top side of my Etsy page rather than the bottom Page. Someone, please help! Thank you!!!
I was never good at SEO. Everything sounds so foreign to me. Tags, keywords, long tail short tail. I am ready to pull out my hair. Maybe selling online is something I shouldn't be doing. I enjoy your videos, but every time I think I have it figured out, Marmalead messes me up.
I hear enough bitching about eBay on youtube to think that there's just a different brand of nonsense over there. I would think that every platform has pros and cons.

I love the head slap moments

Thank you for the video! What do we do when the long tail keyword is longer than the 20 characters Etsy allow in the tags section?
Split it between two tags that read in sequence.
Thanks! Very helpful.

Hi Kara, that page you were on analytical ? how do I find that? Thanks, love your videos💕
That was the search analytics beta, it's in the marketing tab on your shop dashboard.
Thanks, this is super helpful and honestly a relief. Sometimes I feel like I'm pressured to NOT use my brain in these keyword decisions, lol.
Do you have any advice for how to maintain long-tail keyword results when you sell one-of-a-kind pieces?
The whole point of the long tail keywords is to be found for unique searches, so repetition won't be as much of a factor.

If the field is small, which I would suspect it is, you can just use whatever makes sense and you'll be found for it.

When you say “other things come into play” in regards to ranks, is that seller stats?
Here's one example: ua-cam.com/video/K3Mwkmr0I0Q/v-deo.html
How long does it usually take before I start noticing any traffic changes? I am patient, just curious.
It's hard to say, but you should start seeing longer keywords in your stats pretty quickly, like within a few days to a week.
@@KaraBuntin That's what I figured, thanks so much. I love your videos and I have subscribed.
long-tail keywords don't always fit in one tag box so I stretch them out into 2 tag boxes. Is this ok?
Yes, it's fine.

@@KaraBuntin This makes sense. Thanks a lot Kara!
So could short tail keywords lead to a lot of visits and fewer sales? Because if that’s the case then maybe my listings need more long tail words.
Possibly, but you don’t have to think of the long tails yourself.
If I had to match long tail keywords in order I'd go nuts, that would be impossible
That's what people try to do, though, it's crazy!

Don’t rely on the tools too much. On Etsy tags are keywords, so it’s not as complicated as people make it out to be.
