## About

Etsy SEO is critical for standing out in a crowded marketplace, yet many sellers struggle to optimize titles, tags, and descriptions effectively. This free, open-source analyzer gives you an instant, data-driven audit—a 0-100 SEO score, long-tail keyword suggestions, and a prioritized action plan—so you can quickly improve search visibility without needing SEO expertise.

Unlike generic checklists, the tool applies weighted scoring across five dimensions (title, tags, description, attributes, images) based on real Etsy best practices. It highlights specific issues like missing core keywords in your title, underused tags, or a weak first 160 characters of your description, then delivers concrete rewrite suggestions and a ranked roadmap of quick wins.

Designed for busy Etsy sellers, the analyzer works interactively, via JSON input, or with a built-in demo mode to preview the output. It’s part of the Nexscope AI suite of e-commerce tools and requires no API keys—just download and run to start optimizing listings in seconds.

## Key features

- **First 160-Char Description Audit**: Evaluate Etsy's critical first-impression text for keyword density and conversion potential, then get actionable rewrite tips.
- **Prioritized Action Plan**: Receive a ranked to-do list with impact scores so you quickly fix high-ROI issues like title rewrites (+15 score) and tag adds (+10).

## Use cases

- **Audit existing listings**: Run a full Etsy SEO check to receive a 0-100 score and a step-by-step action plan to fix weak points and climb search results.
- **Research keywords for new products**: Use category-based suggestions to uncover long-tail Etsy keywords with higher conversion potential before publishing a listing.
- **Monitor long-term SEO health**: Re-scan listings over time to track improvement scores and validate that your title, tag, and description changes are boosting visibility.

## FAQ

### What is Etsy SEO?

Etsy SEO refers to optimizing product listings on Etsy to rank higher in the marketplace's search results. It involves crafting keyword-rich titles, using 13 accurate tags, writing compelling descriptions, and filling in all attribute fields. This skill automates that process by scoring each element and providing actionable suggestions.

### How does this Etsy SEO tool work?

The tool analyzes your listing data—title, tags, description, category—and scores each dimension on a 0-100 scale using Etsy’s best practices. It then generates a report with a total SEO score, specific issues found, and a prioritized action plan to improve your ranking.

### Is it free to use?

Yes, this Etsy SEO analyzer is open source and free to use. It requires no API keys or payments—just run it locally or via the command line.

### Do I need an Etsy API key?

No. The tool works with listing data you provide manually or via JSON input. There is no integration with the Etsy API, so no key is required.

### What does the SEO score mean?

The score is a composite rating out of 100, weighted by title (30%), tags (25%), description (20%), attributes (15%), and images (10%). A higher score means your listing is better optimized for Etsy’s search algorithm.

### How do I run the analyzer?

You can run it interactively with \`python3 scripts/analyzer.py\`, pass listing data as a JSON argument, or use the demo mode with \`--demo\` to test with sample data.
