Etsy keyword research

Etsy keyword research that hands you the tags top listings already rank for

Stop inventing tags and hoping. Trendlytic pulls the real keywords the best-selling listings in your niche use, scores each one for demand, competition, and 12-month trend, and shows you which ones a new shop can actually win.

Trendlytic scoring Etsy keywords by demand, competition, and 12-month trend

Etsy search only shows your listing for the words you put in it, so your keywords decide whether anyone ever finds you. The problem is that most sellers guess: they type in the words they'd use, not the words buyers actually search, and they have no way to tell a keyword they can rank for from one owned by ten thousand established listings. Trendlytic replaces the guessing. It surfaces the phrases proven listings rank for, scores each one, and tells you which are worth your 13 tag slots.

Real tags, not invented ones

See the phrases the top-selling listings in your niche actually rank for, instead of guessing at what buyers might type.

Scored for demand and competition

Every keyword comes with a demand score and a competition score, so you can tell a term worth chasing from one a new shop will never rank for.

A 12-month trend on each phrase

A search-interest curve shows whether a keyword is rising, steady, or fading, so you build your listing around terms that are still climbing.

Built for Etsy's 13 tags

Etsy gives you 13 tags at 20 characters each. Trendlytic surfaces multi-word, buyer-worded phrases that fit those limits, so every slot pulls its weight.

Live USPTO check on every keyword you research

A live trademark check runs on every keyword, in every plan, so a protected phrase never costs you a listing or your shop.

Four marketplaces, one search

The same research covers Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch, so if you cross-list you get the keywords for all of them at once.

A scored list of Etsy keywords with demand, competition, and a trend sparkline

Every keyword scored, not just listed

A raw list of keywords tells you nothing about whether you can rank. Trendlytic scores each phrase for demand and competition and shows a 12-month search-interest curve, so at a glance you can see which terms are searched, still winnable for a new shop, and rising rather than fading.

Trendlytic pulling the real tags top-selling Etsy listings use

The tags proven listings actually use

Rather than inventing tags, you see the real phrases the best-selling listings in your niche are ranking on. These are terms with demonstrated demand behind them, which is a far stronger starting point than a keyword you thought sounded right.

Long-tail Etsy keyword variations surfaced around a seed phrase

Long-tail phrases a new shop can win

Broad head terms like "necklace" are owned by established shops and a new listing never surfaces. The wins are specific long-tail phrases: buyer-worded, lower competition, higher intent. Trendlytic surfaces those variations so you fill your listing with terms you can actually rank for.

A live USPTO trademark check running on an Etsy keyword

Catch a trademarked keyword before you build on it

A keyword that ranks does you no good if the phrase is trademarked and the listing gets pulled. Trendlytic runs a live USPTO check on every keyword you research, so you catch a protected phrase before you build a title and tags around it.

Built-in trademark check

Every search runs a live USPTO trademark check

A trademarked phrase is the #1 cause of suspended print-on-demand accounts. Trendlytic flags it before you design — on every keyword, in every plan.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Etsy keyword research tool?

It's a tool that finds the search phrases buyers use on Etsy and helps you choose which to put in your titles and tags. Trendlytic goes further than a plain list: it pulls the keywords the best-selling listings in a niche actually rank for and scores each one for demand, competition, and 12-month trend, so you fill your 13 tags with terms you can genuinely rank for.

How do I do keyword research for Etsy?

Start from a seed phrase, gather the real terms buyers search and top listings rank for, then judge each on three things: buyer intent, real demand, and whether a new shop can beat the competition. Doing that by hand means combing Etsy search, autocomplete, and competitor tags. Trendlytic does it in one search and scores every phrase, then adds a live USPTO trademark check.

Does Trendlytic show Etsy search volume?

It shows a demand score and a 12-month search-interest curve rather than a single raw monthly number. That combination tells you more than a bare volume figure: whether a term is in demand and whether it's rising or fading, which is what actually decides if it's worth a tag slot.

How many keywords can I use on an Etsy listing?

Etsy gives you 13 tags, each up to 20 characters, plus the title and other fields. The goal is to fill all 13 with different, specific, buyer-worded phrases rather than repeating the same root word. Trendlytic surfaces enough scored, winnable phrases to fill every slot.

Is there a free Etsy keyword tool?

There's a free, no-login Etsy tag generator and an Etsy title generator you can use right now without an account. The paid keyword research is the step before them: deciding which phrases are actually worth targeting, scored by demand and competition, before you generate the tags.

How much does it cost?

There is a free trial with no card. Paid plans start at $5/month for 100 searches across Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch, with the live USPTO trademark check included in every plan.
