  • No duplicatesNot checkedOur advice

    Two tags with the same words, in any order or with a plural, spend two places on what we treat as one search.

  • Not only the title's wordsNot checkedOur advice

    A tag made only of words already in your title adds nothing new. Use the place for another way of describing the item.

  • Phrases over single wordsNot checkedOur advice

    We aim for at least 9 of the 13 to be two words or more, because people tend to search in phrases.

  • Use all 13Not checkedOur advice

    An empty place is a description you did not use. We fill all 13.

If a report complies with Etsy's policies, its Help says "we will remove the reported content", and "Repeat reports of infringement may result in the loss of account privileges."

The list is ours and short, and this is not legal advice. No warning here does not mean a name is free to use.

About this tool

Etsy's limits here are quoted from its Help page and its API reference, and the link on each line opens the page. Lines marked "Our advice" are how we choose tags in the Listyro app, not rules of Etsy's.

Add your title if you want tags that only repeat its words pointed out. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
