Tag coverage

Checks whether all 13 tag slots are used, flags weak single-word tags, and spots tags that overlap or repeat each other.

Title and description

Grades title length, whether your main keyword is front-loaded, and whether the description is long enough and keyword-led.

Photo count

Checks how many of Etsy's 10 photo slots you use, one of the simplest levers on conversion.

Materials

Flags when materials are missing, an attribute Etsy reads for relevancy and shoppers use to filter.
