Spell Checker flags potential spelling errors in your Etsy listings' tags.

Please note that you do not need to use up tags to account for common misspellings of keywords. If a shopper searches a misspelled keyword, Etsy search redirects them to the correct results.

Benefits

This feature identifies potentially misspelled terms in five different languages (English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian). It links you to your listings with possible spelling errors so you can make corrections quickly and easily.

Add any flagged terms that don’t need correction to your customized Safe List. Some examples of terms that may go here are abbreviations and terms that are unique to your industry or shop.

How to use

There are two ways to access Spell Checker:

  1. On your eRank dashboard, go to the "Health Check" section and click "Spelling Issues."

  2. In the Main Menu, select "Shop Insights" and then "Spell Checker."

If eRank does not choose the correct language by default, select your language(s) using the dropdown menu to the right of the "Search..." field at the top of the page.

Click the green "Check Again" button if you need to refresh your results.

Use the report below to view any listings with potential spelling errors. Errors are highlighted in red in the "Tag" column on the left. The "Suggestion(s)" column contains terms similar to the terms eRank has flagged.

The "Listings Affected" column contains any listings with flagged terms.

Click the "Edit on Etsy" button next to any listing to open it in your listing editor on Etsy and make any necessary corrections.

Click the "Listing Audit" button next to any listing to perform a comprehensive audit and see how well it complies with the guidelines in Etsy’s The Ultimate Guide to Etsy Search and Google Search Essentials.

Safe List

Occasionally, eRank will flag a correctly spelled term as "misspelled." Any terms you’ve invented that are part of your shop’s branding will be flagged as well. If a term does not need correction, click the crossed-out eye icon to the left of the term to add it to your Safe List, which you can access by clicking the "Safe List" tab above the report.

If you change your mind about adding a term to your Safe List, click the red trash can icon to the left of the term to re-flag it.

Who can use this?

This tool is available to all eRank members.

Please note that the Basic plan was introduced during COVID-19 as a temporary measure to support sellers. In August 2025, we retired the Basic plan to adapt to Etsy’s new API pricing and continue offering powerful, reliable tools. Rest assured, if you are a Basic member, you will remain on your current plan indefinitely unless you decide to cancel or upgrade.
