Is it worth going after?
96,022 listings already target "linen apron". That is a middling field: reachable with a well-optimised listing, but not immediately. 55% of the first page is bought rather than earned, so organic slots are scarcer than the listing count alone suggests.
The shops holding page 1 have a median of 9,700 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.

Where do these numbers come from?
