How Etsy Search Works


When a shopper searches for an item on Etsy, Etsy’s search algorithm returns the most relevant matches.

For a product to be displayed in the search results it must match the shopper’s search word or phrase.

For example, the search “leather earrings” will only return items that match both “leather” and “earrings.”

Etsy’s Algorithm


Sellers control the most important factors in Etsy search discoverability and ranking.

Once Etsy’s algorithm finds the items that match a shopper’s search, keywords and relevant item attributes are used to determine the order of the results.

A listing that contains a shopper’s search word or phrase in both the title and tags are considered more relevant than a listing with the word in only the tag or title. Words at the beginning of titles are considered more important than words at the end.

Listing Quality


Great reviews, a completed About section, and completed shop policies can all help your placement in search.

Etsy’s algorithm also considers how well items perform in search. If a shopper clicks, favorites, or purchases an item after they’ve seen it in search results a listing’s quality score improves.

Etsy also reviews how recently an item was listed or re-listed, so don’t let your listings go stale.
