The 4 best eBay SEO tools

You’ve set up your eBay store, researched the best products to sell, created your listings…now you need to get the word out there. eBay SEO tools help you to identify the keywords to get your listings to the top of the search results. And this week, we’re looking at the best.

What is an eBay SEO tool

An eBay SEO tool takes the hard graft out of finding the right keywords for your eBay listing. It does this by analysing the relevance and competitiveness of keywords, helping you to identify the top search term spots to compete for. 

Why is eBay SEO important

Once upon a time, eBay’s search results were in order of the auctions ending soonest. Since then, a lot has changed, and eBay now automatically returns search results according to “best match”.

This makes eBay SEO crucial because:

? It helps eBay understand what you sell, to return you in relevant results;

? Being returned in relevant results increases the chances of a customer clicking your listings; and

? A customer clicking your listing improves your ability to convert. 

Why is an eBay SEO tool important

But, identifying the right keywords for your eBay listing isn’t as easy as it sounds. Take our above search, for example. The search term “wellies” returned 40,000 results – that’s a lot of listings to compete against for the top spot. 

“Pink glitter wellies”, on the other hand, returns only 162 results – a much easier search term to compete for. 

 

But “pink glitter wellies” might never be searched for on eBay – making claiming the top spot a little redundant.

eBay SEO tools help you to navigate all of these complexities and identify the perfect keywords for your listings. But which tools are the best?
