Services Growth Ads
Etsy Ads
Etsy Ads management for marketplace sellers. Listing-level ROAS, daily bid optimization, and search-share growth without burning your budget on poor performers.
What’s included
Listing-Level Performance Audit
Every listing in your Etsy Ads program reviewed for keyword targeting, image quality, title structure, and conversion potential. Listings unsuited to advertising are flagged before they burn budget.
Daily Bid Optimization
Top performers get bid increases; underperformers get bid cuts or pause. Daily monitoring catches changes fast (Etsy search shifts on hourly cadence in some categories).
Budget Reallocation
Weekly budget rebalance toward top-converting listings. Seasonal budgets ramped up in advance of category demand spikes (back-to-school, holiday season, etc.).
Off-Site Ads Decision
Etsy automatically opts you into Offsite Ads if you sell over a threshold. We help you decide whether to participate, exit (if eligible), or optimize listings for that channel separately.
Search-Share Tracking
Monthly tracking of where your listings rank for your most important keywords. Goal: organic ranking improvement alongside paid spend, so you eventually need less ads to maintain volume.
Listing Improvement Recommendations
When listings underperform in ads, the fix is often the listing itself, not the bid. We flag title rewrites, image swaps, and pricing adjustments that lift both ads and organic performance.
The service
What it is, and why it matters.
Etsy Ads sits inside Etsy itself, promoting your listings in Etsy search results, related-products carousels, and category pages. Unlike off-platform paid social, Etsy Ads only converts users who are already on Etsy with high purchase intent. The economics are usually cleaner than off-platform advertising because the click is already qualified, but most Etsy sellers waste money because they treat Etsy Ads as a passive setup-and-forget tool. We manage Etsy Ads as a daily discipline: listing-level performance review, bid optimization, search-share tracking, and budget reallocation away from poor performers toward top-performing listings.
Why it matters for your store
Etsy Ads spend is often wasted on listings that will never convert at an acceptable ROAS, whatever the bid. The fix is not to bid less, it is to advertise the right subset of listings with the right keywords. Done well, Etsy Ads can be the cheapest paid acquisition channel for marketplace sellers because the click is already on Etsy with high purchase intent. The fix is listing-level: fund the listings that convert, cut the ones that do not, and let the budget follow the results.

Questions
Common questions.
What is the minimum Etsy Ads budget that makes sense to manage?
We typically work with sellers spending at least USD 500 per month in Etsy Ads. Below that, the management fee outweighs the optimization upside; DIY management is usually fine at sub-$500 spend.
Should I participate in Etsy Offsite Ads or opt out?
Depends on revenue threshold and AOV. Offsite Ads charges 12 to 15 percent commission on attributed orders, so on low-margin items the math does not work. We help you evaluate and, if you are eligible to opt out, do so cleanly.
How quickly will I see improvement after you take over?
Week one usually shows immediate ROAS improvement from pausing low performers. Week 4 to 6 is when restructured bids fully take effect. By month 3 most sellers see ad-attributed revenue rise meaningfully alongside cleaner ROAS.
Do you write or rewrite my Etsy listings?
Listing optimization is a separate engagement (covered under our Etsy Shop Management service). We can scope it as an add-on or recommend the changes for you to implement.
Can you handle multiple Etsy shops at once?
Yes. We work with sellers running 2 to 8 shops simultaneously. Each shop gets its own ads strategy with cross-shop learnings shared.
What about Etsy Star Seller status and how it affects ads?
Star Seller status affects search ranking but not ads directly. We help you maintain it (response time, shipping speed, review rate) as a complementary lever to paid performance.
