Is it worth going after?
38,869 listings already target "location map". That is a middling field: reachable with a well-optimised listing, but not immediately. 50% 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 2,350 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 "location map" sells

Questions
How competitive is "location map" on Etsy?
38,869 listings currently compete for "location map", which is moderate for Etsy. 50% of the first page is paid placement, so ranking organically means competing against sellers who are also buying the top slots.
When does "location map" sell best?
Demand peaks in February, averaged over the last five years, and bottoms out in October. Etsy needs a few weeks to index and rank a listing, so publishing four to six weeks before February catches the climb rather than the peak itself.
What do "location map" listings sell for?
The median price across 12 listings on page 1 is $26.37, with most between $9.63 and $41.89. That is what buyers searching this phrase are already used to seeing.
Where do these numbers come from?
Demand and seasonality are measured with Google Trends for the US. Listing counts, pricing and ad share are read from Etsy's own search results. Nothing here is an estimated monthly search volume — Etsy does not publish search volume, and any figure claiming to be one is a guess.
