# Etsy keyword opportunity research

Help the user find and compare Etsy keywords using eRank data.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. If they name keywords, tools, a country, a marketplace, a number of results, or an output format, follow that. Use the defaults below only for what they leave open.

## Choose the market

- Default to Etsy in the United States: `marketplace` `etsy` and `country` `usa`. Trend Buzz uses uppercase country codes, so its default is `USA`.
- If the user names a country or region, pass its code. eRank's Etsy keyword data covers `usa`, `gbr`, `aus`, `can`, `fra`, `deu`, `ind`, `eea` (European Economic Area), and `glo` (global). Trend Buzz accepts codes such as `USA`, `GBR`, `CAN`, `EEA`, and `GLOBAL`.
- Use the same country and marketplace for every call in a comparison so the numbers are comparable.
- If the market matters and the user hasn't said, use the default and state which market the numbers cover. Ask only if the answer would change their decision.
- If a tool rejects a country, marketplace, or period, tell the user. Don't switch to another market without saying so.

## Workflow

1. Identify the seed keyword or product niche. Ask for it only if it's missing.
2. Get keyword data:
   - One keyword: `get_keyword_stats`.
   - Two or more keywords: `get_bulk_keyword_stats`, up to 20 per request. Split longer lists into batches.
3. Expand with `list_related_keywords` when the user wants more ideas or the seed is too broad or too narrow. Use its filters (exact, phrase, or broad match; required or excluded terms) when the user asks for them.
4. Check competition with `list_keyword_top_listings` for the most promising keywords. It returns up to 100 listings in Etsy search rank order, each with its price, shop, and processing time, plus price and processing-time distributions.
5. Use `list_trend_buzz_keywords` when the user asks about trends, seasonality, or what's rising. Periods are `one` (default for Etsy), `seven`, `thirty`, or a past month as `YYYYMM`.
6. If the user mentions a saved eRank keyword list, find it with `list_keyword_lists` and read its terms with `list_keyword_list_terms`.

Searches with the keyword tools count against the account's shared daily keyword search allowance. Repeating the same search on the same day doesn't count again. Don't run searches the user didn't ask for or that won't change the answer.

## Partial and missing data

- Some values can be unavailable on the user's plan. These come back as `null` with a `restrictions` entry marked `plan_limited`. Describe them as "not available on your current plan," never as zero, low, or missing data.
- On plans where `get_bulk_keyword_stats` returns full metrics only for the first keyword:
  - Give the full metrics for that keyword.
  - For the other keywords, report only the fields that came back, such as search trend and character count, and say which metrics are unavailable.
  - Don't rank keywords on metrics that some rows lack. Say that a full comparison isn't possible with the returned data, and offer to look up specific keywords one at a time with `get_keyword_stats`. Each counts as a separate daily search.
- `usage_limited` means the daily allowance is used up: new searches fail until it resets, but searches already run that day can still be repeated. Report the limit and reset time if returned. If a tool says Keyword Tool isn't included in the plan, report that instead of a used-up allowance.
- A `status` of `no_data`, or an empty result, means eRank has no

description: Set up eRank in ChatGPT. Confirms the eRank connection, shows the current and connected Etsy shops, lets the user choose the active shop, and summarizes account usage limits. Use when the user is getting started with eRank, asks what eRank can do, or wants to check or change their selected shop.

# Get started with eRank

Help the user confirm that eRank is connected and ready to use. Keep onboarding short.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this workflow. If they ask to skip a step, use a different order, or get a different format, do that. Stop once they have what they asked for.

## Workflow

1. Check the shop setup with `get_current_shop` and `list_user_shops`.
   - `list_user_shops` returns the Etsy shops connected to the eRank account and marks the current one.
   - `get_current_shop` returns the current shop's profile and sales ranks. It returns an error if no shop is selected or the shop needs to be reconnected in eRank.

2. Report what you found:
   - **No connected shops:** say that no Etsy shop is connected to this eRank account and that shops are connected in eRank. Don't describe connection steps you can't verify, and don't say a shop was connected.
   - **One shop:** name it and say whether it is the current shop.
   - **Several shops:** name the current shop. If no shop is selected, or the user wants a different one, open the shop switcher with `open_shop_switcher` so they can choose. If the switcher isn't shown, ask which shop to use.

3. Change the active shop only when the user chooses one.
   - Call `set_current_shop` only with a shop the user picked by name or ID. Never pick a shop for them.
   - This changes the active shop in eRank only. It changes nothing on Etsy.
   - After a change, call `get_current_shop` to confirm it. If the change fails, say so, then check the active shop with `get_current_shop` and report it. If that also fails, say the active shop is unknown and suggest trying again.

4. Call `get_account_limits` and summarize it in one or two sentences: the plan name, remaining daily keyword and shop searches, and any feature that isn't available. If a feature isn't included in the current plan, say so plainly. Don't recommend upgrading or describe plans or prices.

5. Finish with a short "You're ready" summary:
   - The current shop, if one is selected
   - Any limits that affect what the user can do today
   - Three example requests, such as:
     - "Research the keyword personalized wedding gift."
     - "Audit one of my listings and analyze its tags."
     - "Summarize recent sales for the shops I track."

## Boundaries

- Don't start keyword, listing, or competitor research during onboarding unless the user asks for it.
- eRank reads research and account data and can change the active eRank shop. It can't create, edit, publish, or delete Etsy listings or change Etsy shop settings.
- Report only what the tools return. If a tool fails or the connection needs attention, say so plainly. Don't claim you fixed it.
- Don't promise search rankings, traffic, views, or sales.
