Does the Ultimate Bundle show up in the search results?
If yes, then TPT reads the preview PDF.
If no, then TPT doesn’t. And guess what? It doesn’t.
Which means: Flattened or unflattened previews don’t matter for SEO. (I mean, still flatten your preview if required by clipart licenses. But don’t do it for TPT SEO reasons.)
🎥 I walk through the whole experiment in this week’s video.
Guess what? That product didn’t show up when searching for the secret word either. So TPT isn’t scanning our product files for ranking keywords.

So, if you started back in 2013, you’re facing 13 times the competition. Even…
I’m getting ready for tomorrow’s boot camp zoom session and I had this thought: What would you lose if TPT shut down tomorrow? Sure, we’ve got copies of our products and covers, but what about your titles and product descriptions that we constantly tweak? I used to copy that stuff into a separate Google Doc,…
I made a Google Sheets year-over-year tool. It shows this year vs. last year for each product by month and by week. You’ll see what’s working fast, so you can spend time on the products that matter. Grab it free until Sunday Oct 26, 2025. After that, it’s $178. I built this for my big clients. Today, I’m giving it to…

Q1: I think your keyword tool is broken. It says I’m at one position, but when I search on TPT, I’m at a different position. Sometimes a keyword tool glitches. If TPT changes its site, the tool can’t find what it needs, so it shows nothing at all. But what if the tool says our product is…
