That leads to more and more distribution and website traffic.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d call that a win-win!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog post we&#8217;re breaking down how to write Pinterest descriptions and titles for Pins and Boards. Plus we&#8217;re talking about why they&#8217;re so important for engagement, traffic, and the Pinterest search engine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pinterest-descriptions-and-titles-what-they-are-and-why-they-matter\"><strong>Pinterest Descriptions and Titles: What They Are and Why They Matter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply put, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/pinterest-marketing\/course\/writing-pinterest-descriptions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pinterest descriptions<\/a> and titles<\/strong> give more context for your Boards and Pins \u2014 they are the first contact between your Pin and the audience. They give Pinterest users a clue as to what kind of content they\u2019ll find pinned to your Boards or what your Pin is about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-pinterest-descriptions-and-titles\"><strong>The importance of Pinterest descriptions and titles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Good Pinterest descriptions and titles drive engagement, traffic, and reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UHbX4APqNiY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pinterest created a study of 21,000 Pins<\/a> where they analyzed Pin designs and captions, and what they found will amaze you! Here are just a few highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Including your business name<\/strong> in the first sentence of the caption leads to a <strong>54% higher conversion rate for email signups<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using <strong>clear, actionable wording<\/strong> and a <strong>strong call-to-action<\/strong> <strong>increases email signups 70% and online sales by 6%.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adding a price<\/strong> increased sales by <strong>28%.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Clearly, descriptions matter to people on Pinterest. And, as it turns out, they matter to the Pinterest algorithm too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further support these results, in a 2020 webinar with Pinterest&#8217;s Current Partnerships Manager Lucy Matthews, we asked her about the possibility of using the same title and description for several Pins at once. Not only was her response categorical, but her explanation made all these concepts much clearer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-default is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>When you&#8217;re creating titles and want to use the best title and description for a Pin, both should reflect information about the Pin and what can be expected when clicking through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titles that don&#8217;t accurately reflect an image or a landing page are already less valuable to Pinners and will not perform as well.<\/p>\n<cite><em>-Lucy Matthews<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1546731221826.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/twprod.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1546731221826.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26115 lazyload\" style=\"width:276px;height:276px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W_jl0H5hnxc\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pin descriptions are absolutely vital to Pin distribution<\/strong>.

Here&#8217;s what the data actually shows about description performance in 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shorter descriptions are winning.<\/strong> Contrary to the advice to use all 800 available characters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tailwindapp.com\/pinterest-marketing\/research\/2025-benchmark-study-part-2#primary-text-fields:~:text=In%20analyzing%20Pin%20descriptions%20of%20the%20most%20viral%20Pins%2C%20we%20found%20that%20more%20isn%E2%80%99t%20necessarily%20better.%20The%20most%20viral%20Pins%20tended%20to%20have%20shorter%20descriptions%2C%20averaging%20in%20the%20range%20of%20220%2D232%20characters%3A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">viral Pins in 2025<\/a> averaged just 220-232 characters in their descriptions. This suggests that focused, concise descriptions outperform lengthy ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keyword focus beats keyword variety.<\/strong> The most successful Pins used 2-3 highly relevant keywords rather than trying to rank for multiple unrelated terms. Pins that attempted to cover too many topics in their descriptions actually performed worse, likely because they sent mixed signals to Pinterest&#8217;s algorithm about the content&#8217;s true focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alt text is the secret weapon.<\/strong> Pins with alt text performed dramatically better across all metrics, earning 25% more impressions, 123% more outbound clicks, and 56% more profile visits. This suggests that Pinterest&#8217;s algorithm heavily weighs alt text when determining content relevance and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fresh content gets priority.<\/strong> Over 90% of website traffic now comes from fresh Pins rather than saves of existing content. This means your description strategy should focus on creating new, original Pins with optimized descriptions rather than hoping saved versions of your content will perform well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why this matters for your description strategy:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep descriptions focused on one main topic rather than trying to cover everything<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include your primary keyword early, but don&#8217;t stuff additional unrelated terms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always add keyword-rich alt text when uploading Pins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Create fresh Pins with new descriptions for your best content regularly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This data suggests that Pinterest&#8217;s algorithm has become more sophisticated at understanding content relevance by rewarding focused, high-quality descriptions over generic, keyword-heavy ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\"><strong>FAQs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-better-to-use-hashtags-or-keywords-in-pin-descriptions\">Is it better to use hashtags or keywords in Pin descriptions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the ever-changing world of social media algorithms, it can be difficult to keep up with the newest and most effective practices. And when you operate a business it\u2019s crucial to reach the masses. So, you might be thinking, \u201cIf I Pin It, They Will Come.\u201d But, sadly it\u2019s not that easy! Luckily, we are here to help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating beautiful Pins is only part of the equation on Pinterest. You\u2019ll also need an eye-catching title and an engaging and informative Pin description. That\u2019s the bare minimum, but there are also some tactics you can use to elevate your chances of your Pins getting seen \u2013 including keywords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, is it better to use hashtags or keywords in Pin descriptions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the short of it: <strong>keywords are better on Pinterest, and hashtags are best on Instagram.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? You see, Pinterest isn\u2019t a social media \u201cplatform;\u201d it\u2019s a search engine. <strong>Even though Pinterest did try to incorporate hashtags into their algorithm, they simply didn\u2019t work<\/strong>. Users don\u2019t use hashtags in the search bar, so there\u2019s no point to include them in your description. You\u2019re much better using those characters for keywords instead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-difference-between-a-pinterest-pin-description-and-title\">What is the difference between a Pinterest Pin description and title?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Great question! The Pin description is the \u201ccaption\u201d or description for a Pin post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Pin title lives above the Pin description in a larger bolder font. The title is shorter than the description as it explains what the post is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to the title, the Pin description goes into more detail. A Pin description usually focuses on the who, what, where, when, and why of the post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also pulls the reader&#8217;s interest further into the Pin and is a great place to put a call-to-action to click through a link or save the Pin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-i-find-my-board-description-on-pinterest\">How do I find my board description on Pinterest?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating Pinterest boards is essential for organizing your Pinterest Pins. Pinterest descriptions provide Pinterest users an idea of the type of content that will be pinned to your boards or what your Pin is about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure to add your Pinterest board description as you create the board. But, if you forget or don\u2019t have time you can always add it later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>To find your board description on Pinterest, follow these steps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in Into Pinterest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click On Your Profile Picture In The Top Right<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Your Board To Open It<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, Click On The Three Dots Next To The Board Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select Edit Board<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make Your Changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Done<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-i-find-my-pin-descriptions-on-pinterest\">How do I find my Pin descriptions on Pinterest?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Captions on your Pinterest Pins are what connect your Pin with the users. So, it\u2019s essential to create quality ones. Pinterest Pin descriptions are found in slightly different spots, depending on if you\u2019re using Pinterest on the mobile app or desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a desktop computer, Pin descriptions will appear next to your Pin image on the right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Pinterest mobile app, the Pin description will appear below the Pin image, just below your Pin Title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-description-link-on-pinterest\">What is the description link on Pinterest?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A description link in Pinterest is a live link that is placed inside a Pin\u2019s caption!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a link in the description to a Pin is a great strategy for getting more Pinterest followers to engage with your content outside of Pinterest. This approach can lead to more traffic wherever you link to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to make sure you include a call-to-action to incentivize followers to click through.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s most optimal if you create Pins that relate to your outbound link so that the traffic doesn\u2019t go to waste.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was this helpful?
