“serving bowl” on Etsy: should it be in your 13 tags?

Name: Etsy search data for “serving bowl”
Creator: Albavo

All readings from 12 September 2026. Each figure below carries its date.

Nothing here is estimated: searches, listings and purchase rate from Etsy Marketplace Insights, where Etsy publishes its own figures. Where Etsy displays a count rounded, it is marked “about”.

No. At 25 out of 100, “serving bowl” is not worth one of your 13 slots.

The verdict

25/100 To avoid

25 is below 40, the line under which Albavo advises against a tag.

Your own 13 tags can be scored the same way, each one: sign in, it is free.

What it means for your listing

Spend the slot elsewhere: about 313,100 listings compete for about 1,500 searches a month.

How the score is calculated

≈ 0.0008 purchases a month per 1,000 competing listings: about 1,500 searches × 0.016% (median rate measured on 77 “very low” terms) ÷ about 313,100 listings.

That figure is placed on a fixed logarithmic scale: 0.0001 purchase a month per 1,000 listings scores 0, 0.3 scores 100. The same scale applies to every term, in the tool and here.

Purchase ratevery low tier published by Etsy

About 1,500 searches in 30 days: shoppers type it more than 1,000 times a month. That is 4.8 searches for every 1,000 listings: a crowded term, where the listings far outnumber the searches. Etsy files its purchase rate under “very low”, the lowest of the five tiers it publishes. Marketplace Insights shows counts of 1,000 or more rounded to one decimal, in thousands or millions. Both counts fall exactly on that rounding: they are given here as “about”, never as exact counts.

What you will not see here

Estimated sales: Etsy does not publish them, and an invented figure helps nobody.
A figure without a date: a reading 30 days old or more says so itself.
Which terms would do better than this one on your listing, or what your current tags are worth: that answer depends on your shop, so it lives in the tool.
