Lindsay Bowden’s blog post is an educational guide on SEO for Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT), the marketplace platform used by educators to sell curriculum resources. The article explains that TPT SEO means selecting relevant, low-competition keywords for product titles and descriptions so listings rank higher in TPT’s internal search algorithm.
Bowden outlines a four-step keyword process: brainstorming potential search terms, analyzing competition and popularity, crafting product titles using two to three keywords within an 80-character limit, and working keywords naturally into product descriptions. She advises targeting keywords that return fewer than 2,500 results in TPT search, arguing that lower-competition terms offer more accessible ranking opportunities for new and growing sellers.
For keyword research, the guide recommends tools including Keywords Everywhere and SellerSpy. Bowden distinguishes between low-competition keywords and moderately popular terms, encouraging sellers to strike a balance between the two. The guide also addresses how keyword choice affects both discoverability and conversion, noting that titles must communicate clearly to human shoppers as well as the search algorithm.
Bowden identifies herself as a former high school math teacher who has generated more than $320,000 in TPT revenue. Her site, lindsaybowden.com, offers free trainings on digital product creation and online business strategy aimed at teachers building passive income streams. The post serves educators looking to grow sales of lesson plans, worksheets, and other teaching materials through organic TPT search rather than paid promotion.
