Most Searched Products (2022)

Each year, I put together a list of trending crafts people can make and sell. This year, I wanted to create a list of the most searched products on the Internet. This list is based on stats I’ve researched, rather than the opinions of industry experts.

 

I’ve started with the category of accessories and researched a variety of products that fall under it.

 

Depending on how popular this article is, I may add other categories and types of products to this list.

 

 

Important notes about this list

Please have a quick read over the 7 points below so you have a better understanding of how I created this list and how you can, and should, use it.

 

An Accessories list (TO START)

As mentioned, I started this list with the product category: accessories. If this article is popular and helpful to people, I may expand upon it.

I used the main sub-categories and types of products listed on Etsy that qualify as “Accessories”.

I did explore most product names, but if there was a really low search volume and not many keywords for a specific type of product (e.g. “clutch”), I didn’t include it in this list. But that doesn’t mean people aren’t searching for product, it just didn’t make my list 😉

 

Easy to rank keywords

I filtered my searches to find the keywords that are the easiest for a small business to rank for.

This means, if you create a product based on a keyword in this list, it will be fairly easy for your listing to appear in the top 10 results of a Google search. You’re less likely to be competing with a big brand or thousands of other businesses trying to rank for the same keyword.

 

Search Volume

I’ve used tools that tell me the approximate search volume a keyword has. This number is based on global monthly searches. Meaning, how many times people across the globe type a keyword phrase into Google.

For each type of product (e.g. ring), I’ve listed the *highest searched phrase (highest based on my criteria; easy to rank for an isn’t copyright infringement) at the top of the section and the search volume decreases as you go down the list.

There are MANY other terms people search for in a month. I just couldn’t include everything on my list.

 

Copyright Laws

It’s very important to note; I intentionally left out keywords that would be a copyright infringement to create (e.g. Prada headband. Although it’s a popular search, a small business creating a “Prada headband” would be committing copyright infringement).

That being said, I am not an expert in every category of product and did not research every keyword on this list to see if it’s a popular keyword because of a brand.

Please learn about the laws your business must follow and conduct your own research to understand what a keyword means and ensure you won’t be committing copyright infringement by creating a product with a specific name.

Exact Phrases

Sometimes a keyword phrase appears more than once (e.g. lanyard keychain, key chain lanyard). It’s important to note the different terms, spellings, etc. as these are exact phrases people are typing into Google. It would be wise to use alternative names in Etsy tags, product descriptions, etc.

It’s also important that if you decide to create a product based on a keyword in the list below, you use the exact keyword online.

For example, if you decide to make a lanyard keychain, make sure you list it as that online (“Lanyard Keychain”). Don’t call it a “Badge Holder” or another cute name. You can add adjectives to it (e.g. “Pink Lanyard Keychain” or “Rhinestone Lanyard Keychain”), but make sure the main keywords are used (I explain where to use them below).

The closer to the front of the name, the better.

For example, “Lanyard Keychain: Pink & White” is preferred over “Pink & White Lanyard Keychain”.

 

Non-Exhaustive

Just because you don’t see a term listed here, does not mean it’s not popular. This list could go on and on. I simply filtered my search by very easy to rank for phrases and only listed a handful of results.

 

No Guarantees

Just because you create a product or product listing using a keyword in this list, does not mean you’ll automatically rank for it, or sell that product (that’s up to you).

However, you have a better chance of your product listing appearing high in Google searches if you create a product based on the list below, and use a keyword listed below for your product title, in your product descriptions, in your product tags, etc.

How to use this list

This is a starter list. It has a lot of ideas for products you can create, based on what consumers are searching for.

 

However, it’s often not enough to simply create a product following the description of a keyword in this list (e.g. pink backpack), and to name it using the same keyword (“Pink Backpack”).

 

You want to do some research to ensure it’s a good keyword to target and perhaps even find a niche within a keyword (e.g. “Kids pink backpack”), as some of the terms are pretty broad (e.g. “pink hat”).

 

Here’s how I would use the words in this list:

 

Google a keyword

Choose a keyword from the list below and type it into Google.

 

For example, let’s say I make backpacks and I notice “pink backpack” in the list below. I would type “pink backpack” into Google.

 

 

Look at Google image results

In Google search results, I would look at the images that appear on the first page of Google, or under the “Images” tab, to get a better idea of what people are looking for when they type “pink backpack” into Google.

 

Google knows this information (what type of pink backpack people are looking for when they search “pink backpack”), based on a bunch of user stats they gather.

 

If thousands of people are looking for a pink backpack and they click on results with a hot pink backpack, Google will favour those results (hot pink backpacks) moving forward, and start to show more hot pink backpacks in the top 10 results.

 

However, in this scenario, when I type “pink backpack” into Google, almost all of the images show more of a blush pink/dusty pink/pastel pink backpack.

 

This tells me, a softer pink coloured backpack is what people are looking for.

 

 

Look at Google’s top results

Again, Google is telling you what people are looking for (and what Google wants to present) based on its top results.

 

Click on the websites that appear on the first page of Google and gather details.

 

>> Is the result linking to a product listing? What’s the product listing like; detailed? Lots of photos?

OR

>> Is the result linking to an article explaining the pink backpack trend?

 

In my “pink backpack” example, Google links to website pages that have several backpacks that incorporate pink listed on one page.

 

What I would do with this information is create a page on my website, or a section in my Etsy shop, titled “Pink backpacks” and have several pink backpacks listed.

 

 

Look at “People Also Ask” and Related Searches sections

Some Google searches will have a “People Also Ask” section. As you click on the dropdown next to a question, Google will load more questions.

 

These popular questions may give you an indication of what people are specifically looking for.

 

For example, a question in this section asks if pink backpacks are good for school. This may indicate people want a pink backpack that’s ideal for carrying books, as opposed to a pink backpack to be used as a purse.

 

In my example, many of the questions and related searches are related to Victoria’s Secret, because they have a department of their brand called PINK. If “pink” wasn’t a popular search term under several other products, I might assume people are searching for the brand Victoria’s Secret Pink when they search for a “pink backpack”.

 

However, because Google shows several brands of backpacks in the search results, and several images of pastel pink backpacks, I believe consumers are searching for a pink coloured backpack, not a Victoria’s Secret PINK brand backpack.

 

The Related Searches section gives me more details to focus on if I decide to create a pink backpack:

• pink laptop backpack
• blush pink backpack
• light pink backpack Amazon (although people are looking for this item on Amazon, “light pink” is still relative)

 

If you have a website, you may also get article ideas from the People Also Ask (PAA) section.

 

For example, “pillbox hat” is another popular term on the list below. The PAA section has the following questions:

• Why is it called a pillbox hat?
• What is a pillbox hat used for?
• How do pillbox hats stay on?
• When was the pillbox hat popular?

 

Each of these questions would make a great article title.

 

If someone Googles a question and your article appears as a result, they may click to read the article. Once they’re on your site, they’ll see you sell pillbox hats, and click around to shop.

 

 

Look at Google Autofill

Type your keyword into Google (e.g. pink backpack) but don’t hit return/enter. Look at what Google suggests below the search bar.

 

These auto suggestions can give you more details about what people are looking for, or ideas for other keywords to use.

 

For example, “pink backpack purse” is an auto suggestion. I could work the keyword “purse” into my product listing so it’s more likely to appear if someone searches “pink backpack purse”.

 

 

Search other platforms

Look for clues that reinforce a keyword is ideal for you to target. Platforms, aside from Google, may also uncover more details or niches or a product.

 

I might take a specific term (e.g. pink backpack) or a less specific term (e.g. backpack) and enter it into search bars on other platforms.

 

For example, I may:

• Use Google Trends to see if “pink backpack” ranks there
• Type “backpack” into Pinterest to see if there are many images of pink backpacks, or type “pink backpack” into Pinterest and see if there are many results
• Look at influencers on Instagram to see if they’re sporting pink accessories
• Search bigger competitors to see if they’re carrying pink backpacks

 

 

Implement the keyword

If you’ve decided a keyword is a good one for your business to target, you must then create a product that fits the description of what people are searching for, and based on your research (for example, I would want to create a light pink backpack, not a hot pink backpack).

 

When you list that product online, be sure to use the exact keyword phrase. For example, I would name my product “Pink Backpack” or perhaps “Pink Backpack Purse”. But I would not list my product as “Pink and White Backpack” or “Pink School Bag”.

 

Use the exact phrase. You may use the phrase for/in:

• Product listing name
• Product description
• Etsy tags
• Etsy section
• Etc.

 

You don’t want to overdo it, but the more you use a keyword on a page or on your website, the easier it is for Google to understand your website/Etsy listing/Etsy shop/etc. has what people are searching for.

 

 

I hope this list was helpful! 🙂
