In this post, we will compare two popular advertising platforms for Etsy sellers: Promoted Listings and Google Ads.

Promoted Listings are a feature offered by Etsy that allows sellers to pay for increased visibility in Etsy search results and category pages. These ads are shown to shoppers who are actively looking for products like yours, making them a great way to reach a targeted audience. Promoted Listings are cost-per-click (CPC) ads, meaning sellers pay only when a shopper clicks on their ad.

Google Ads, on the other hand, are ads that appear on Google search results and other Google properties, like YouTube and Gmail. Google Ads allow sellers to reach a larger audience outside of Etsy and target specific keywords and demographics. Google Ads can be cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-impression (CPM), giving sellers more flexibility in their advertising budget.

So, which advertising platform is right for you? If you are looking to increase visibility and sales specifically on Etsy, Promoted Listings may be the best option for you. These ads are designed to target shoppers who are already on Etsy looking for products like yours, making them more likely to convert into a sale.

On the other hand, if you are looking to reach a larger audience outside of Etsy and have a larger advertising budget, Google Ads may be the better choice. Google Ads allow sellers to target specific keywords and demographics, making it easier to reach potential customers who may not be actively searching on Etsy.

Ultimately, the best advertising strategy for your Etsy business will depend on your goals, budget, and target audience. Consider experimenting with both Promoted Listings and Google Ads to see which platform drives the best results for your business.

By investing in advertising and reaching a larger audience, you can take your Etsy shop to the next level and boost your sales.
