Now sure if I did this all right, but it's learning process I had thought that the longer your store has been active, the more keywords would show up, but in this case Boutique Karma takes the cake. The other three have been opened a year longer. I also took the words in the Local Search Volume: March column. So did I pass?

LOL... yes you passed and you get lots of stars by your store.  anyone that posts on this Bootcamp forum passes because we know that they are educating themselves and this is good.... no stars if they don't do homework though

really good keywords for the coffee mugs... those are words I would use if I was looking for coffee mug! Good job.

Now help me out with some of the others.... pick three stores and a listing from each and pick some keywords for that listing.

Cheers

Oh ... by the way... I prefer to use Global stats as my market is NOT local as much as it is GLOBAL.  Google is intuitive as to your regional location. So give some thought to where your market it.  I suspect for most of us it is global but only you know for sure.

Examples of product with Tweaked Titles

Wheezi... very good job done in optimizing your titles... very descriptive

Cotton Leopard Print Shoulder Bag w Red Lace-OOAK https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/19200/leopard-print-shoulder-bag-w-red-lace-handmade.php

The only suggestion here that I can suggest is to drop the word Cotton.  It is best to get your keywords at the beginning of your title if possible. Leopard Print Shoulder Bag with Red Lace OOAK  (390 searches on Leopard Print Shoulder Bag)

I am not sure if many people know what OOAK means as it took me ages to figure it out.  You may want to instead say "an Original.      Good job Wheezi. Love your Avatar!!!


Caralyn Forster
Butterfly Trio    https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/21786/golden-butterfly-trio-necklace.php

As the title reads I don't know what it is and  on checking Google Keywords noone or not many are searching for a  "butterfly trio".  Try changing it to "Butterfly Necklace Pendant - A Gold Trio" or "gold butterfly pendant necklace"

Use the first sentence to "sell the benefits" of owning this lovely pendant rather then getting into the technical details and remember to use your keywords in your first sentence especially.

Sterling and Turquoise Hoop Earrings  https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/15777/sterling-and-turquoise-hoop-earrings.php

Your keywords look excellent... your listing is on the first page of the Google search for this item and this is exactly how I would search for these earrings as I have searched for them as a birthday gift for a friend.  Good job!!!

Men's Wide Stretch Bracelet "DAKOTA" https://icraftgifts.com/handmade/10134/peyote-bracelet.php
Good keywords... right now it is on the 4th page of Google's "mens stretch bracelets" so I would suggest removing the word "wide". That will probably get you on the first page although I can't see how many people search for "mens stretch bracelets".

Here we go... I've done my homework

Christine,
Interesting that you found my earrings on the first page of a Google search. I did the same search and I could not find them in the first ten pages.

I am trying to come up with some keywords to use to search for them but I can't seem to come up with any. Salmon Swirls...Handmade Lampwork Bead Pair SRA just doesn't do it. And, I am not sure what SRA stands for.

Zeba,

Thanks for the info. I too was using google.com and was not getting anything. I tried google.ca and am now getting much better results. Thanks again

[Brilliant Beads]

Hmmm....that's interesting to know.

Thanks, Paul, for picking my beads, and it's really helpful to know that the title doesn't come up with much.

...wow, am I learning here.
I do have other online shops, under the name Gillianbeads (Etsy and ArtFire) and I've had them come up on Google.com

I tried a search for one of Christine's pillows last night to no avail...going to try again this evening.
I also tried with BeauMonde's jewellery, and her titles are keywords...she's doing well.

This is a challenge all right...I'm trying to narrow down keywords that are better for my beads and jewellery...gosh.

Hope this helps. The words are slightly off but maybe tweaking them to match would help.

I wanted to send you a screen shot of it but I don't know how to inbed pictures in these threads.

Yuppers I just checked again.  I used exactly your title.

Don't forget Google is geographically intuitive... I think a search where I am located in Vancouver Canada will show different things than someone that searches same thing in Florida USA. I think it is one of those secret algorithms that they don't tell you about

Christine,

Hey Paul... regarding lampwork beads

Lampwork beads    110,000
Floral lampwork beads 590  but floral lampwork earrings brought insufficient data, floral earrings 12,500
 The trick is to describe the earrings as a buyer would. Would a buyer always look for earrings with the word lampwork in the query? "Floral lampwork beads" might be relevant to a jewelry maker.

I am just demonstrating how each word you use in your title will determine what kind of buyer you attract. a person shopping for earrings will not be interested in components and visa versa.

I forget what you searched on but I just wanted to give an example here.

Good job Zeba..

using the copper Horse head pendant as an example...
Horse head pendant 1300
Horse head necklace 720

If someone were searching for a Copper Horse Head Pendant this listing would likely be on the first page as it is quite specific.  The problem is when I looked for how many people where searching for this kind of necklace I couldn't find any (insufficient data).  What I would recommend is start the title with "Horse Head Pendant (or necklace in copper) (or pendant necklace in copper)".  Get your most important keywords at the beginning of your title and add the secondary keywords after them.

Make sense?

[Vintage Inspired Jewelry]

I have looked up a number of items for sale on icraft using various keywords. It seems llike the more broad the word is,the more items to see. I used acryllic,pearls,vintage,etc. I also looked at the items that have been sold.
I could not find myself on google,but found many other Vintage Inspired Jewelry sites! I am also on Etsy and Artfire.
I also searched for some of my individual items on google,but not luck. So not sure I have the right titles or tags.
