225. Should You Delete Listings That Don’t Sell?


Listen Later

Wondering if you should delete those listings that haven’t sold in months? Here’s what to do instead.

While it might feel like a good way to clean up your shop, deleting those listings could actually hurt your traffic more than help.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

  • When it makes sense to let listings go

  • When it’s smarter to keep them (even if they’re not converting yet)

  • And how to make these decisions strategically instead of emotionally

Because if those listings are part of a keyword family Etsy is starting to recognize your shop for, you don’t want to accidentally tank your visibility by pulling them too soon.

You’ll also hear:

  • Why quantity matters for Etsy SEO (yes, even if some products aren’t selling yet)

  • What to do if a listing is getting traffic but no sales

  • The best way to let go of old products if you’re changing your shop direction

Plus, I’ll share a related YouTube video that pairs perfectly with this episode - 👉 How Many Different Products Do You Actually Need to Sell on Etsy?
