What Is Your Etsy Shop Title?
Your shop title on etsy is the little bit of text that shows up under your shop name. It can be up to 55 characters and can be filled with a relevant description of your shop.
Your shop title becomes the page title for your shop page and this is what shows up in search engines like Google.
If you use this space to be descriptive with good keywords for your niche then more people can find you via search.
You can also use the space for additional branding if you have a strong tagline.
