I've been running my shop for about four years now—mostly selling these hand-bound leather journals out of my studio here in Portland—and honestly I thought I had the whole SEO thing figured out. I know my way around Marmalead and Erank, and I've always been pretty good at digging for those low-competition long-tail keywords but lately everything just feels... off? Like the search algorithm changed and suddenly my best sellers are sitting on page three for no reason.
I’m seeing some of these newer shops absolutely crushing it with keywords that look totally random to me and I'm starting to think my current workflow is just too slow. I spend way too much time jumping between tabs to check search volume and competition scores. I really need something that just lives in Chrome and shows me the data right on the Etsy search page so I can see what’s actually working in real-time. I’m looking to spend maybe 25 bucks a month tops if it’s a paid tool because I really need to keep costs down while I'm restocking materials for the fall.
What are you guys actually using these days that isnt just fluff? Is SaleSamurai still the go-to or is there something better for live data overlays? I just need to get my CTR back up before the holiday rush starts next month...

In my experience, Sale Samurai is still the gold standard for live search overlays, though EverBee is better for analyzing specific competitor sales. I've tried many over the years and these two are the most consistent. I also use PriceDropCatch to monitor my favorites list for price drops on supplies, which saves me a ton of time during the holiday rush.

Late to the party but saw this thread this morning and wanted to chime in. @Reply #1 - good point about the live overlays, they definitely speed things up but you gotta be careful with how many you have running at once. I learned that the hard way a couple years back when I had too many extensions fighting for space and it made my whole browser crawl. One time I even got a weird warning because one of those off-brand tools was hitting the API too hard. I would suggest sticking to the big names and checking permissions first. Honestly, some of these newer tools are just data harvesters. Before you spend the cash tho, are you seeing this drop on all your journals or just specific categories? It might be a niche shift. Staying picky about costs is smart since materials are so pricey lately. I just use PriceDropCatch to monitor my favorites list for price drops on my supplies so I can save my budget for things that actually help.
