Real Etsy listings, re-scored and rewritten
These are genuine ListingLens audits — the same output you get after checkout. Pick a category to see the before, the score, and the ready-to-paste rewrite for the title, all 13 tags, and the description.
Title
Your title leads with a brand name no buyer types into search. "Whispering Dreams" and "Handmade with Love" use 28 characters that win zero traffic. Etsy ranks the first words hardest, so the opening should be the exact phrase a shopper searches, like "soy candle" plus a scent and an occasion.
Tags
Only 5 of 13 tag slots are used and they are all single words, which Etsy treats as weak signals. Single words like "candle" and "gift" face millions of competitors. Fill all 13 slots with multi-word long-tail phrases that match real searches, and never repeat a single word that is already in your title.
Description opening
The first 320 characters feed your Google snippet and they currently sell nothing. They thank the visitor and point to policies instead of saying what the candle is, what it smells like, or how big it is. Lead with the product, the scent, the burn time, and who it is for, then move policies to the bottom.
- 1Rewrite the title to lead with "Lavender Soy Candle" instead of the brand name, so it matches what buyers actually search.
- 2Fill all 13 tag slots with multi-word phrases (scent + occasion + recipient), not 5 single words.
- 3Replace the first 320 description characters with the scent, size, and burn time so your Google snippet sells.
