Episode 23: Chatting About Off-Marketplace SEO | The Merriweather Council Podcast

SEO for handmade websites

The students in my Etsy Training Course tend to have incredible results after taking my course and implementing my strategies. Many of these strategies are related to appealing to Etsy’s native search system – so it makes sense that once they get a taste of the insane results getting found can have, they want to replicate this on their own site. My students come to me a lot asking about off-Etsy SEO – aka, SEO on their own websites. Today’s episode addresses some thoughts I have about this – it may surprise you!

PLEASE NOTE THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ETSY SEO!!!!!!!!!!!!
