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

Features

What you get

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.

From keywords to a written listing

The AI Studio takes your scored keywords further — slogan, quote, listing and description generators, plus an AI Niche Finder, writing the whole Etsy listing around the tags that actually rank.

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 any phrase you tap

One tap sends a phrase to the USPTO register and the live registrations on it come back. Included in every plan, and cheaper than losing a listing to a word you assumed was ordinary.

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.

Inside the app

A scored list of Etsy keywords with demand, competition, and a trend sparkline
01

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.

02

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
03

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.

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. Tap a phrase in Trendlytic and it goes to the live USPTO register, which reports back the marks standing on it, so you find a protected term before you build a title and tags around it.

Built-in trademark check

Check any phrase against the live USPTO register before you design

Type a phrase and Trendlytic looks it up in the live USPTO register and shows who owns it, its status and its filing date. Included in every plan.

TM©

And the designs that were never yours to print are marked

When a result leans on a known brand, a character or a famous person, it arrives with a TM or copyright badge on the card. You see it while you are choosing, not after a takedown. A first filter, not legal advice.

How it works

  1. 1

    Search your niche or seed keyword

    Type any Etsy niche or phrase. Trendlytic pulls the keywords the best-selling listings in that niche rank for.

  2. 2

    Read the scores

    See demand, competition, and the 12-month trend on each keyword, then tap the ones you like for a live USPTO result, so you know which are worth using.

  3. 3

    Fill your title and 13 tags

    Take the highest-scoring, winnable phrases into your Etsy title and all 13 tags, then finish with the free tag and title generators.

Trendlytic Mockup Generator: one design shown on t-shirt photos, with the filters and the download panel

Also in every plan

A mockup generator for the design you make next

When your own design for the niche is ready, drop the file in and see it on 500+ t-shirt photos in one go. Pick the shots that fit your shop, on a person or on its own, and save them at up to 2000 px with no watermark. A mockup takes 1 credit from your plan the first time and nothing after that.

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 leaves the USPTO register a tap away on the ones you keep.

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 3-day free trial. Paid plans start at $19.99/month for 100 searches across Etsy, Redbubble, TeePublic, and Amazon Merch, with the live USPTO trademark check included in every plan.

How does the 3-day free trial work?

Every plan starts with 3 days free. Starting it charges $1 to check the card is real, and that $1 is not refunded. The plan price itself is only billed when the trial ends, and cancelling before then from Manage Plan means it is never charged.
