    I'm breaking down the exact Etsy SEO shift that's helping listings hit page one faster—even as AI search, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews change how buyers discover products. This isn't about "writing for AI." It's about matching buyer search intent better than your competition, especially at the bottom of the funnel where real buyers live.

    I walk through:

    • Why page one visibility on Etsy still matters more than ever

    • How AI search actually rewards strong buyer intent (not gimmicks)

    • The difference between top-of-funnel vs bottom-of-funnel Etsy searches

    • Real Etsy search examples that show where sales actually come from

    • How to use long-tail, high-intent phrases buyers are already typing

    • Where to place these phrases in your listings for maximum impact

    • A powerful prompt that helps uncover buyer-ready search terms

    • How to adapt your SEO strategy to win across Etsy, Google, and ChatGPT

    If you've been stuck on page 3—or wondering why traffic isn't converting—this strategy realigns your listings with how people actually shop now.

    I'm exposing one of the biggest Etsy scams happening right now and it's getting worse fast as AI tools become more advanced. Sellers are receiving refund requests backed by fake damage photos that look real at first glance but are completely AI-generated. This scam is hitting Etsy, eBay, and other marketplaces, and newer sellers are being targeted the hardest.

    I walk through exactly how this scam works, show real examples of AI-altered images, and explain the subtle red flags most sellers miss. I also share a clear step-by-step protocol you can follow when a buyer claims an item arrived damaged so you don't accidentally refund a scammer.

    You'll learn when to require returns, when buyers should pay return shipping, how Etsy's buyer protection actually works, and how to protect yourself with listing policies, packaging proof, and smarter shipping practices. I also explain why pushing back professionally matters and how to handle cases when Etsy gets it wrong without panicking or shutting down your shop.

    If you sell on Etsy or plan to, this is something you need to understand now before it costs you money.

  • The Exact Etsy Keyword Method That Finally Gets You Found

    I walk through a simple but powerful 9-step Etsy keyword framework that takes you from a blank page to a fully optimized title and tag setup that actually gets traffic. I start with how to define exactly what your product is, then layer in use-cases, buyer intent, features, benefits, and adjacent keyword opportunities so you stop guessing and start targeting what shoppers are really searching for. I also show how to validate demand using keyword tools like Alura, Everbee, and Etsy data so you're not wasting time on dead keywords.

    From there, I demonstrate how to turn that research into a high-performing Etsy title using long-tail, buyer-intent keywords placed where the Etsy algorithm looks first, and how to mirror those keywords inside your 13 tags for maximum relevancy. I even cover how to use ChatGPT for brainstorming while still verifying everything with real search volume. By the end, you'll know exactly how to structure your listings so they get found, get clicked, and get sales.
