Holiday Replay: Best of 2025 ☃️

We’re re-running our most-downloaded episode of the year - the no-fluff beginner’s guide to the Etsy algorithm. No scare tactics. No clickbait. Just how it actually works and what to do next.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• The two-step search process: query matching → ranking (and why “Page 1” isn’t universal anymore)
• The 7 signals Etsy uses: relevance, listing quality score, recency, customer & marketplace experience, postage price, translations, shopper habits
• Why changes take 60–90 days to settle (so stop tweaking every week)
• How reviews + conversion rate nudge you higher
• A simple postage strategy (when to roll shipping into your price)
• Why exact-phrase keywords beat jumbled ones and quick tools to research them
• The manual-renew trick so you actually revisit and improve listings

Perfect if you’re tired of feeling at the mercy of “the algorithm” and want clear actions that move the needle.
