Hi

I run an etsy store where i sell digital products. My products are ranking on the first page for several keywords - right at the top - but i get no sales whatsover.

But when i turn etsy ads on i get sales???

I'm so confused, why don't i get sales organically even when i am ranking on the first page, right at the top??

But when i turn etsy ads on i get sales immediately?

I'm so confused, so any advice would be appreciated :) I'm new to the whole etsy platform
 
How do you know you rank for first page? If you're typing in super niche keywords and seeing your listing then it probably isn't real ranking. There is no real way of seeing your ranking yourself. It highly dependent on country, longtail keyword and relevancy.

I think the better metric to look into would be your store stats. How many organic views do you product get? after you know that compare it to how many views paid ads get. Then simply calculate how many oragnic view vs paid ad view takes for you to get sales. If it takes 100 organic views to get a sale and also 100 paid views to get a sale then there is no different but most likely there will be a slight difference in performance between the two because paid ad can rank your listing based on other metrics as well that organic just doesn't provide

I simply type in the main keyword like "meal planner" so not super niche keywords. For the majority of my products, i can see them on the first page simply by typing on the etsy main search bar

Will definetly look into my store stats in more detail, thanks :)

I think Etsy prioritizes showing your own listing if you have that keyword as one of your title or tags on one of your products. If you wanna see it, maybe try searching in incognito or changing networks like using phone 4G with incognito (if you mainly use PC to use Etsy shop) to see your real ranking

Okay, thank you so much. I changed to incognitio mode and even changed to US residential IP address and i noticed i wasn't ranking on the first page!

Now the whole discrepancy between etsy ads and search results makes more sense!
 
Maybe it’s because the cover image isn’t attractive enough, or the title and product description aren’t appealing enough to your target audience.

Just changed my cover images a couple a days ago, noticed mine wasn't as appealing compared to my competitors!

Etsy is a very funny platform... You'll never understand how advertising works...
 
I'm also having similar issue , where my product listing are ranking good (checked using proxy, rank checker atc) but no sales

I'm suspecting that since I'm using English keyword while my Etsy account are created in different country , Etsy prioritizing my product only to the same country where I created my account ...

Similar with Facebook group search algorithm where fb will only showed group result based on our country origin

I haven't tried yet opening USA shop account
