Ranking difficulty

Optimization tips

'perle cotton' is short and broad, which means Etsy will match it against a wide range of listings. Lead your title with this keyword followed by specific modifiers that describe your product — for example, pairing it with terms like 'embroidery thread' narrows the match and helps Etsy show your listing to the right buyers.
