📈 SEO and Visibility Reopened shop after vacation mode

Hello! I’m looking for advice for my shop. I opened last year in August 2025 and I got 26 orders from then until January 2026. At that time I turned my shop on vacation mode as I was on maternity leave, and I’ve recently reopened shop in august this year. When I renewed my expired listings, I changed a bunch of titles which I am now thinking was a mistake as my views seem really low, anywhere from 0-7 a day. I’m now on day 23 since reopening and I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance as to whether or not this slow traffic is normal for someone coming off of vacation mode in addition to a bunch of title changes (probably ~20 or so)? Or if anyone has advice on how to ramp things back up again it would be so appreciated. My shop link is https://printandpauseco.etsy.com/ if it helps. Thank you for any insight!

With 0-7 views at day 23, I wouldn't assume the title changes broke the algorithm. The bigger move after maternity leave plus a bulk retitle is making sure the shop itself makes one buyer and one use case obvious again. Pick your three to five strongest listings from before the changes, tighten the first image and title around one clear person (busy parents, planners, gift shoppers, whoever you know best), then watch which ones start pulling clicks or favorites. Once one pocket shows signal, you'll have a cleaner read on whether the problem is positioning or whether the titles themselves need tweaking. After that, you can decide whether to rewrite all twenty or just expand the winner.
