Traffic Stats shows you how shoppers are finding your listings through Etsy search, Etsy Ads, social media, and other websites.

If you add Google Analytics tracking to your Etsy shop, eRank will make it easy for you to discover what your best Etsy keywords are!

Benefits

Use this feature to see which keywords are helping shoppers find your listings. View the search terms that were used to find your listings and see how high your listings ranked for each search term.

The parts of your tags and titles that match the search term being analyzed are highlighted in yellow. This helps you see if the traffic was brought to your listing via an exact match or a partial match.

How to connect

Step 1: (If you already have Google Analytics tracking set up for your Etsy shop, you can skip this step) Connect your Etsy shop to Google Analytics. Step-by-step instructions for this can be found here.

Step 2: Connect your eRank account to Google Analytics. Head over to your eRank Dashboard, click the "Setup" button in the "Traffic Stats" section, and follow the prompts.

Please note that it may take up to 5 minutes to fetch your data from Google Analytics. Data prior to the day you added Google Analytics tracking to your shop will not be available.
