Is your Etsy listing built for the 2026 algorithm?
Paste your listing and get a 0 to 100 grade with specific fixes in 10 seconds. Every suggested tag and title shows real Google search demand, so you rewrite with numbers, not guesswork.
- ✕Title runs 21 words. Etsy's guidance is less than 15; the rest belongs in your tags.-8
- ✕Only 9 of 13 tags used. Four free chances to match a search are empty.-10
- ✕First 40 characters miss the main keyword. That window decides your click in search.-9
- ✓Materials listed in the description. Good for trust and for the 2026 quality signals.+8
- ✓Description opens with a hook, not a repeat of the title.+6
Every tag comes with a receipt
Other listing tools hand you tags from a black box. ListingDen shows the monthly Google search demand next to every tag it writes, so you know a keyword is worth one of your 13 slots before you spend it.

Exactly what the free grade checks, and what it doesn't
The grade runs 0 to 100 across 11 checks on your title, tags and description. It's rule-based text analysis, not a live lookup: nothing is scraped from Etsy or Google while you grade, results appear in about 10 seconds, and grading is free and unlimited, no signup, no card, no cap. Your listing text isn't stored anywhere.
✓What it checks
- Title: main keyword phrase in the first 40 characters
- Title: under 15 words, within the 140-character limit
- Title: no keyword stuffing, all-caps, or excess separators
- Title: reads as a phrase, not a stacked keyword list
- Tags: all 13 slots filled
- Tags: average 12+ characters (long-tail phrasing)
- Tags: 3 or fewer single-word tags
- Tags: no two tags targeting the same search
- Description: opens with a hook, not a greeting
- Description: uses line breaks and scannable sections
- Description: at least 300 characters
✕What it does not check
- Live Etsy search rankings or ranking position
- Your listing's actual views, traffic or sales
- Competitor listings or marketplace data
- Photo quality, image alt text or thumbnail composition
- Price, shipping cost or processing time
- Real per-tag search volume, the free grade is pattern-based, not a live keyword lookup (see how to find real Etsy tag search volume)
- Your live Etsy shop: nothing connects to your account, you paste the text yourself

From graded to rewritten in three steps
Paste your listing
Title, tags and description. No account, no upload, nothing installed. The grade is free and unlimited.
Read your grade report
A 0 to 100 score with the exact issues holding the listing back, each tied to Etsy's current guidance.
Rewrite with demand data
The Writer drafts your title, 13 tags and description, every keyword backed by its Google demand number. You review, edit and paste into Etsy.
What a rewrite actually changes
Example listing. Your rewrite keeps your product facts and leaves a [bracket] anywhere it would have to guess.
Tuned for how Etsy search works in 2026
First 40 characters win
Etsy truncates titles in search. We put your primary keyword and differentiator up front, where buyers actually see them.
Human titles, not keyword soup
Etsy's guidance is clear: titles are for buyers. We write readable titles that still carry your keywords, and grade down comma-stuffing.
Copy that earns the click
The 2026 quality layer rewards listings buyers click and buy. Descriptions open with a hook and sell the product, not the algorithm.
Simple pricing, honest limits
Grade for free forever. Pay only when you want listings written for you.

Fair questions, straight answers
Where do the demand numbers come from?+
From Google search volume data, refreshed monthly. Etsy does not publish its own search numbers, and Google demand is the closest honest proxy for what buyers type. We label every number with its source.
Do I need an account to grade a listing?+
No. Grading is free, unlimited and needs no signup. You only create an account when you want listings written for you.
Is this against Etsy's rules?+
No. ListingDen is a writing assistant: it drafts, you review and paste. Nothing connects to your shop or automates it, and output follows Etsy's own listing guidance.
Is this an Etsy SEO tool?+
For the writing side of Etsy SEO, yes. The free grader scores your listing against 11 checks built on Etsy's published search guidance, and the Writer drafts titles, 13 Etsy tags and descriptions with the Google search volume shown next to every keyword. It does not track rankings or spy on other shops.
What does the free grade check?+
Eleven checks across three sections. Title: main keyword phrase in the first 40 characters, under 15 words within the 140-character limit, no keyword stuffing or all-caps, and reads as a phrase rather than a stacked keyword list. Tags: all 13 slots filled, average tag length of 12+ characters, three or fewer single-word tags, and no two tags targeting the same search. Description: opens with a hook instead of a greeting, uses line breaks, and runs at least 300 characters.
What does the free grade not check?+
It doesn't check live Etsy search rankings, your listing's actual views or sales, competitor listings, photo quality, price, or shipping speed. It also doesn't pull real per-tag search volume: the free grade is pattern-based text analysis, not a live keyword lookup, so it can tell you a tag is a single generic word but not how many people search it. Nothing connects to your Etsy shop either. You paste the text in yourself, and nothing you paste is stored.
How is ListingDen different from eRank or Insight Agent?+
eRank and Insight Agent both show their own tag or listing scores from an internal, undisclosed model. ListingDen's free grade is a transparent, rule-based check, the exact logic is listed above, and when you move to the paid Writer, every suggested tag shows the real Google search demand number behind it (Google Ads data via DataForSEO), not an unlabeled internal estimate.
