Rank Checker lets you view what an Etsy shopper’s search results would be without promoted listings or Etsy’s context-specific ranking (personalization).

Please note that, due to Etsy’s personalization technology, results here likely differ from what you see when you search.

Benefits

Use this feature to determine where items from any shop rank for a search term for the average Etsy shopper. Rank Checker also displays details of the highest-ranked listings to help you evaluate how optimized competitors' listings for similar items are.

How to use

In the Main Menu, select "Keyword Research" and then "Rank Checker."

Enter a keyword or phrase into the first field. Your shop’s name will automatically display in the second field, but you can delete it and enter another shop’s name if you wish. The third field, "Location," defaults to all countries. If you would like to see where listings rank in a specific country, select it from the dropdown menu.

Then, click the orange "Search" button to view your results. Free members can do 10 searches a day, Basic members can do 25 searches, Pro members can do 50 searches, and Expert members can do 100 searches.

If none of the shop's listings rank for the keyword you searched, you will see the following message, along with the stats and top listings eRank found for that keyword.

Your Listings

This section displays all of the listings that Rank Checker found in the top 500 listings that rank for the search term you chose. You can also view some useful statistics for each that cna help you evaluate and edit items in your own shop. Use this section to view the following information:

Column

What It Means

Top Listings

Use this section to view your competition for the specific search term. This section displays where competitors' items rank within the top 500 listings (again, without promoted listings or context-specific ranking), along with each item's statistics. The shop's listings from the previous section appear here as well, highlighted in blue. Use this information to compare these listings' stats to competitors' stats. Doing this can help you gain insight into their success (and, perhaps, find ways to improve your own listings).

Just like in the previous section, you can click the stars to add the competitors' tags to a keyword list or click the "copy" icon to the right of any listing's tags to copy all of them to your clipboard, separated by commas. From there, you can paste the tags directly into one of your Etsy listings.

Use the "Filter..." field in the blue bar to filter specific listings from within the section.

If you are a Basic member, Pro member, or Expert member, click the orange "Export" button in the blue bar to export or print the list for future reference.
