AI Listing Helper utilizes the power of AI to help you generate title, description, and tag ideas for your Etsy listings. This tool can help you get through even the worst case of writer's block by speeding up your writing and keyword research processes.

Benefits

When you need to create listings but your mind has gone "blank," use this feature to gain inspiration and revitalize your writing process.

Note: Please keep in mind that AI Listing Helper generates “starters.” Use them to get your brain in gear so that you can spend more time creating and less time researching.

That being said, OpenAI is not an SEO expert. You will still need to research its suggestions and apply common sense. Think of it like a plane’s "autopilot" setting. It helps you get from A to B, but you want a human to oversee the landing.

How to use

In the Main Menu, select "Listing Optimization" and then "AI Listing Helper."

Enter a short phrase that describes your product (example: "green glitter slime") into the field.

Select your preferred language using the dropdown menu in the bottom left corner of the field. Then, click the green "Submit" button on the right.

Free members can search one phrase per day, Basic members can search up to 10 phrases per day, Pro members can search up to 20 phrases per day, and Expert members can search up to 100 phrases per day.

View your search history over the past 30 days on the left side of the page. Click any previously searched phrase to look it up again and get additional ideas for that listing.
