With the recent changes to Etsy look some shop owners are not liking the look of the abbreviated Etsy shop announcement. Although it may not look the best, your Etsy shop announcement plays a very important role in the SEO of your Etsy shop. Removing your Shop announcement will remove the important meta description.
I removed my shop announcement so you could see what happens in the html code behind the scenes.
Here you can see the meta data with the announcement still intact. The meta description is full of key words that I have placed on purpose.
Here is what my shop looks like in the Google Search:
Without your Etsy shop announcement there will be no description about your Etsy shop on Google and will get less clicks from searchers.
Here is what happens when you remove your Etsy shop announcement:
Your meta description is gone. You will lose valuable keywords and your Google search results will drop.
