Every listing has a title. It's the text that appears above the listing image on the listing page, in your shop, and in Search results.
Use your title to tell shoppers what your item is in a few words.
When someone searches on Etsy, the system looks at listing titles, along with tags, and item categories.
- The first few words of listing titles have a particularly strong influence on Etsy Search.
Only place words and phrases buyers will search for in your listing title. If you're selling artwork, put the title of your piece in the description instead of the listing title.
While titling your items, also keep in mind how other search engines off Etsy will find and display your items. Learn more about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
