Etsy Ads and Promoted Listings Management
Scale your Etsy sales with data-driven advertising that doesn't waste budget
Etsy Advertising Options Explained
Etsy Promoted Listings place your products at the top of Etsy search results and category pages. You set a daily budget and cost-per-click bid; you pay only when someone clicks. Offsite Ads promote your listings across Google, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Bing — Etsy manages the placement, and you pay a commission (12-15%) only on sales generated. Both require strategic product selection, budget allocation, and performance monitoring to be effective.
Key Benefits & Methodology
Promoted Listings Campaign Management
We select the right products for advertising, set competitive bids based on keyword performance, manage daily budgets, and continuously refine targeting to improve advertising cost of sale (ACoS).
- Product selection — promoting best sellers and high-margin items
- Bid strategy — manual, automatic, and custom bid adjustments
- Keyword targeting — adding negative keywords, focusing on high-converting terms
- Daily budget pacing and ad scheduling
- Performance analysis — impressions, clicks, CTR, orders, ROAS
Offsite Ads Strategy and Optimisation
Offsite Ads are mandatory for sellers above $10K in sales, but can be strategically managed. We monitor Offsite Ad performance, optimise your listings for external traffic conversion, and advise on pricing and product mix to maximise profit.
- Offsite Ad eligibility and commission threshold management
- Listing optimisation for external search and social platforms
- Performance tracking — sales attributed to Offsite Ads
- Profitability analysis — commission vs. margin per order
- Strategy for sellers who can opt out of Offsite Ads
Advertising Creative and Listing Readiness
We ensure the products you advertise have listing optimisation, high-quality images, and competitive pricing to convert the traffic you're paying for — because sending traffic to a poor listing wastes ad spend.
- Listing audit before advertising launch
- Primary image and title optimisation for ad click-through
- Pricing and shipping competitiveness check
- A/B testing of ad creatives (primary image variations)
Frequent Inquiries
How much should I budget for Etsy Ads?
We recommend starting with a modest daily budget — $5 to $20 per day — to gather data and identify which products perform best. As we optimise, we scale the budget proportionally to profitable ROAS. Our management fee is separate, and we always work within your comfort level.
Are Offsite Ads worth it?
For many sellers, yes — they bring in sales you wouldn't otherwise get. But the 12-15% commission can eat into margins. We help you decide which products to make eligible and ensure your pricing covers the cost. For sellers over the $10K threshold, we manage the mandatory participation to minimise negative impact.
