If you’re selling on Poshmark, you already know that the more people see your listings, the more likely they are to sell. But many resellers underestimate the power of Poshmark SEO — optimizing your listings so they appear in both Poshmark’s search results and Google search.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly how to improve your visibility, rank higher, and increase sales using proven Poshmark SEO strategies.
Why SEO Matters for Poshmark Sellers
Poshmark works like a hybrid between a social media app and a search engine. When a buyer searches for something — whether inside Poshmark or through Google — the platform uses keywords, relevancy, and engagement data to decide which listings to show first.
Good SEO can help you:
-
Appear at the top of search results inside Poshmark.
-
Get organic traffic from Google searches.
-
Sell faster without lowering your prices.
-
Build a brand presence as a trusted seller.
1. Use Keyword-Rich Titles
Your listing title is one of the most important SEO factors. It should clearly describe the product using specific, searchable keywords.
Bad title:
“Cute sweater”
Good title:
“Madewell Women’s Cable Knit Wool Sweater Size M Cream White”
Tips:
-
Start with the brand (Poshmark buyers love brand searches).
-
Include gender, style, material, size, and color.
-
Avoid unnecessary words like “super cute” unless they’re part of the brand.
2. Write Detailed Descriptions
The description is where you can expand on your keywords and give buyers every reason to hit “Buy Now.”
SEO-friendly descriptions should:
-
Repeat your main keywords naturally.
-
Include synonyms and alternative search terms.
-
Cover product condition, measurements, and care instructions.
-
Mention trending keywords like “Y2K,” “minimalist,” or “cottagecore” if relevant.
💡 Pro tip: Use bullet points for easy scanning.
3. Maximize Poshmark’s Item Tags
Poshmark lets you tag certain attributes like color, category, and style. These tags are part of Poshmark’s internal search filters — and using them correctly increases your visibility.
Best practices:
-
Always fill in all available tags.
-
Use the exact color name buyers will search for (e.g., “beige” instead of “tan” if that’s what the brand calls it).
-
Choose the most accurate category so your listing appears in the right browse sections.
4. Add Keywords to Your Photos
Google can’t “see” your photos, but Poshmark allows alt text for accessibility purposes. When adding a photo, include a short alt description using keywords.
Example:
“Levi’s 501 High Rise Straight Leg Jeans Light Wash Size 28”
5. Share Your Listings Daily
On Poshmark, sharing = ranking boost. The more you share, the more your listing appears in Just Shared search results.
If you have hundreds of listings, consider Auto-Sharing Tools like Closo’s AI Promotion Agent to automate this process.
6. Price Strategically for Search
When multiple sellers have the same product, Poshmark often ranks lower-priced listings higher in search.
But be careful — dropping your price too much can hurt profits. Instead:
-
Start slightly above your target price.
-
Use “Offer to Likers” strategically.
-
Leverage Poshmark’s price drop notifications to re-engage buyers.
7. Build External Traffic
You don’t have to rely only on Poshmark traffic — you can drive your own.
-
Share listings on Pinterest (which ranks well on Google).
-
Post styling videos on TikTok or Instagram with a link to your closet.
-
Join Facebook buy/sell groups for your niche.
8. Keep Your Closet Active
Poshmark rewards active sellers. New listings and daily activity tell the algorithm your closet is worth showing to buyers.
-
List at least 1–3 new items per day.
-
Relist old items to bring them back to the top of search.
-
Respond to comments and offers quickly.
9. Track What’s Working
Use Poshmark’s My Sales Report to see:
-
Which items sell fastest (what keywords do they use?).
-
Which categories perform best.
-
Whether price changes boost sales.
Over time, you’ll refine your SEO strategy for maximum impact.
10. Use AI Agents to Automate SEO

-
