Etsy Title Length Checker

Etsy listing titles can be up to 140 characters, and every character is search real estate. Titles that are too short leave keywords on the table; titles over the limit get cut off by Etsy, usually mid-phrase. Most sellers write titles in a text editor with no counter and find out too late.

Paste your title to get a live character count against the 140 limit, a word count, and an alert for words you have repeated three or more times. Repeated words are the most common waste: Etsy matches multi-word phrases, so writing candle three times does not rank you three times as well, it just burns characters that could target gift, soy or handmade instead.

Front-load your most important keywords, because Etsy weighs the beginning of the title more heavily and shoppers skim the first few words in search results. Separate phrases with commas or pipes for readability, use close to all 140 characters when you can, and write for humans first: a keyword-stuffed title nobody clicks will not rank no matter how optimized it looks.

Titles work together with tags and attributes. Put your primary phrases in the title, then use your 13 tags to cover variations, synonyms and long-tail phrases you could not fit.
