Getting noticed on Pinterest is a lot like getting noticed on Google: you have to nail your SEO to make it to the top.

Don’t stress about the process! We have the Pinterest SEO tips you need to help you get your content found on Pinterest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is Pinterest SEO Worth My Time?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It sure is! Since Pinterest is a visual search and discovery engine, it shares a lot more in common with Google and other search engines than it does social media sites like Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, like Google, Pinterest can be a powerful driver of qualified traffic. In fact, it’s long been the #2 driver of social traffic, and for many Tailwind members, it’s the number one source of website traffic, period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, If you want people to see your content on Pinterest and you want to generate more traffic from Pinterest to your site, you need to help Pinterest distribute your content<\/strong><\/em> to the Pinners who want it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while follower engagement IS a factor in the distribution of your content, Pinterest is actively seeking your help to determine where to show your content in search, the home feed, and related (or “More like this”) Pins. That’s where SEO for Pinterest<\/a> comes in \u2014 and that’s where there is a lot you can do to improve your content’s SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Pinterest SEO?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since Pinterest is at its heart a search and discovery platform, optimizing your Pins, profile, and content for Pinterest is very similar to optimizing for Google. And just like with Google, the uptick in traffic from your hard work may not happen overnight, but it will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: We’re attempting to present many of the factors shared publicly on Pinterest’s Engineering blog<\/a>, but there may be others which are not publicly shared. If you stick with these suggestions and always aim to help Pinterest create a platform full of high-quality, fresh, engaging content, you’ll go far!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
