ChatGPT Prompts for Etsy Sellers: Product Descriptions, SEO & Customer Replies
Master ChatGPT prompts to write high-converting product descriptions, SEO-friendly titles, tags, FAQs, and professional customer messages for your Etsy shop.
Why Etsy Sellers Should Use ChatGPT Prompts
Etsy SEO has become more competitive, and shoppers now use Etsy search, Google, and AI assistants to find products. Sellers who win in 2026 use keyword-rich, benefit-driven product descriptions and optimize titles, tags, and attributes for both Etsy search and Google.
ChatGPT prompts help busy Etsy shop owners by turning rough bullet points into high-converting descriptions, generating SEO-friendly titles and tags for each listing, and drafting FAQ answers and message templates you can customize and reuse.
Prompt 1: Etsy Product Description (High-Converting)
"You are an Etsy SEO copywriter. Product: [what it is] Details: [materials, size, color, style, options, processing time] Target buyer: [who it's for + occasion] Main keyword: [e.g., 'personalized bridesmaid jewelry'] Secondary keywords: [3–8 related phrases] Write a compelling Etsy product description that: – Starts with a 2–3 sentence overview highlighting the main benefit – Includes a bullet section for 'Details' – Includes a bullet section for 'Why you'll love it' – Includes a short 'Perfect for' section – Naturally uses keywords without stuffing – Written in clear, friendly, scannable language Output in markdown with headings."
This balances Etsy SEO keywords with benefit-driven copy. It creates a structure you can reuse across listings.
Prompt 2: SEO-Friendly Etsy Title (10 Options)
"Write 10 Etsy product title options for this product: – Product: [what it is] – Key details: [style, material, size, occasion] – Main keyword: [primary phrase you want to rank for] – Other important keywords: [3–6 related phrases] Requirements: – Max 140 characters per title – Put the most important keyword near the start – Use natural, readable phrasing (no keyword soup) – Mix angles: gift-focused, style-focused, occasion-focused, niche-focused Return as a numbered list."
Etsy and search engines recommend clear, readable titles with priority keywords at the front. Multiple options make A/B testing easier.
Prompt 3: Etsy Tags & Keywords (13 Best Tags)
"You are an Etsy SEO specialist. Product: [what it is] Details: [style, material, recipient, occasion] Suggest 30 long-tail keyword ideas buyers might search on Etsy and Google for this product. From those, select the best 13 Etsy tags (max 20 characters each when possible). Make sure tags cover: – main keywords – style/occasion keywords – audience keywords ('for mom', 'for teacher', etc.) Output as: full list of ideas → final 13 tags."
Etsy limits tags and values long-tail phrases. This prompt uses ChatGPT for ideation and selection.
Prompt 4: Etsy FAQ & Policy (LLM-Friendly)
Generate 10–15 FAQ questions and answers addressing shipping, processing time, returns/exchanges, customization, and gift options. Use natural language questions and answer each in 2–3 sentences with the direct answer first. Output as Q: / A: pairs.
FAQs help your Etsy shop look professional and give LLMs and Google clear Q&A blocks to surface.
Prompt 5: Customer Message Templates
Write a pre-purchase response template acknowledging their question, clarifying details, and encouraging them to order. Keep under 120 words. Write a post-purchase thank-you message confirming processing and shipping time, asking them to reach out if there's any issue, and gently mentioning reviews.
Good communication boosts reviews and reduces disputes. ChatGPT can draft templates you can customize.

FAQ: ChatGPT for Etsy Sellers
Q: Is it allowed to use ChatGPT for Etsy product descriptions?
Yes—Etsy doesn't forbid using AI tools as long as your listings are accurate, non-misleading, and follow all Etsy policies.
Q: Will AI-written descriptions hurt my Etsy SEO?
No. Search systems look for relevance and quality, not whether a human or AI typed the text. Always edit AI drafts so they sound like you.
Q: How many keywords should I give ChatGPT per product?
1–2 main Etsy SEO keywords and 3–8 related phrases are enough for AI to weave them naturally without stuffing.
Q: Can I reuse the same prompts across all my listings?
Yes. Treat the prompts as templates: reuse the structure, but change product details, audience, and keywords for each listing.
Q: How do I avoid sounding like every other AI-written listing?
Add your own stories, details, and tone. Use ChatGPT for structure and drafts, then customize intros and brand voice manually.
