Is it worth going after?
254,337 listings already target "christmas gift tags". That is a crowded phrase — a new shop is unlikely to reach page 1 on it directly, but the longer variants below are where the same buyers are reachable. Only 40% of the first page is paid, so most of it is won on relevance.
The shops holding page 1 have a median of 5,850 reviews. Established sellers hold this phrase, which matters more than the raw listing count: review history feeds Etsy's ranking, and a new listing cannot borrow it.
When "christmas gift tags" sells

Where do these numbers come from?
