Etsy Listing Checker: Etsy SEO Score, Tags & Exact Fixes
Paste a listing link. See its score, what's missing compared with the top listings, and how to fix it.
You can't fix what you can't measure. A listing checker shows exactly why a listing isn't showing up in search or isn't converting: titles that waste characters, missing tags, too few photos, a thin description, a price out of line with the market.
Paste any listing link into RankBuddy's listing checker and get a detailed report: an SEO score from measurable checks, keyword coverage compared with the listings ranking for the same product, price position, reviews, and a list of exact fixes.
On Etsy, RankBuddy reads shops, listings, reviews and marketplace counts from Etsy's official Open API, so the numbers are real, not estimated.

Listing Checker for Etsy sellers

How Etsy search works
Etsy search first matches a buyer's words against your title, tags, categories and attributes, then ranks the matches by listing quality (clicks, favorites and sales), recency, customer and market experience (reviews, policies, shipping), and shipping price.
Etsy listing rules at a glance
- Title
- Up to 140 characters — lead with the phrase buyers type most.
- Tags
- 13 tags of up to 20 characters each — use multi-word phrases, not single words.
- Attributes & category
- Count as extra search matches — fill every one that fits.
- Photos
- Up to 20 images plus a video; the first photo is your thumbnail in search.
- Digital files
- Up to 5 files of 20 MB each per digital listing.
Etsy tips
- Repeat your strongest phrase in the title and in a tag — exact matches help Etsy connect the two.
- Use all 13 tags; an empty tag slot is a search you can never show up for.
- Fresh listings get a short visibility boost — renewing and updating can help a stalled listing.
- Star Seller and fast replies feed Etsy's customer-experience score.
