Get your candles found on Etsy search
Candle buyers shop by scent, vibe, and gift intent — and they can't smell your product, so the words have to do all the selling. ListingLens scores your title, all 13 tags, and description against what candles buyers actually search, then hands you the exact rewrites. Run a free audit and see your fixes in about two minutes.
Candle shoppers search by scent and use: "soy candle lavender," "wood wick candle," "housewarming gift candle." They care about wax type, scent family, and burn time. Generic "handmade candle" buries you under thousands of identical listings.
What moves candles listings
The levers that matter most for this category. A ListingLens audit checks every one and tells you exactly what to change.
Scent and wax type up front
"Soy," "beeswax," "wood wick," plus the actual scent are what buyers search and filter by — put them in the first words, not just the description.
Gift and room context in tags
"Housewarming gift," "cozy home," "self care gift" catch buyers shopping for an occasion or a feeling a plain scent name misses.
Photos that sell the experience
A lit candle in a styled room conveys the vibe a buyer is buying. The first photo should show the product clearly, then the mood.
A candle listing title, rewritten
The kind of before-and-after a ListingLens audit produces for candles.

Frequently asked
How do I rank my candles higher on Etsy?
Lead with the words buyers search — scent, wax type, and gift use — in the title and tags, not just the description. A ListingLens audit scores your candle listings and gives you ready-to-paste rewrites built around those terms.
Should burn time go in the title?
It can help, since it's a concrete detail buyers compare. The audit weighs it against your other keywords and tells you whether burn time earns its place in your specific title or works better as a tag or in the description.
