Feeling the impact of the latest Google update? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Since 2016, we’ve faced countless digital marketing shifts, but one thing remains clear: diversifying traffic is essential for long-term success.
That’s where Pinterest SEO comes in. Unlike other platforms, Pinterest offers content longevity, allowing your posts to stay relevant for years. If you’ve been overlooking this visual search engine, it’s time to tap into its potential.
This guide dives into the essentials of Pinterest SEO, from keyword research to creating eye-catching pins, plus a helpful checklist to assess whether your niche is a perfect fit. Ready to harness the power of Pinterest for lasting traffic growth? Let’s get started!
Feeling the tremors of the latest Google update? Don’t panic, we’ve been there, and we’ve conquered it.
Since 2016, we’ve been navigating the ever-changing seas of digital marketing, mastering everything from affiliate marketing and niche sites to growing newsletters and launching SaaS projects.
But today, we’re here to talk about a game-changer: Pinterest SEO.
It was 2022, and Google’s Helpful Content Update hits like a tidal wave. Our carefully crafted SEO strategies?
Suddenly as useful as a sandcastle against the tide. As fast as free samples at a food court, Google-once is the bedrock of our traffic-vanished.
But here’s the thing about digital marketers like us: we adapt, we overcome, we thrive.
Unlike other social platforms, where content’s lifespan is fleeting, Pinterest, a VISUAL SEARCH ENGINE, allows your content to remain relevant for years and years, similar to traditional search engines.
This longevity makes Pinterest an ideal platform for those looking to play the long-term game, provided your niche aligns with the Pinterest audience. (Wondering if Pinterest can work for you? Must read our checklist below to find out!) and FREE GUIDE.
This experience underscores the critical importance of traffic diversification. For the sake of your sanity and your business’s longevity, PLEASE DIVERSIFY YOUR TRAFFIC!
The last thing you want is to join the ranks of those regretting their reliance on a single traffic source after an algorithm update decimates their visitor count.
To avoid falling victim to such devastating updates, I strongly encourage looking into Pinterest and other traffic avenues NOW.
Helpful checklist to Assess your existing niche’s potential on Pinterest:
1. Is your niche too specific or Micro?
A niche solely focused on “VACCUM CLEANERS” is likely too specific for optimal Pinterest growth. A broader niche like “Cleaning” would be a better fit. “CLEANING” encompasses a wider range of interests than just vacuuming.
So, you could attract a larger audience by covering cleaning tips, product reviews for various cleaning supplies, DIY cleaning solutions, etc.
Here are some Popular niches for Pinterest:
- Women’s Fashion
- Home Decor
- Quotes
- DIY and Crafts
- Recipes
- Pets and Animals
- Mom Life
- Beauty
- Relationships and Dating
- Lifestyle
- Travel
- Parenting
- Gardening
- Food and Drinks
- Holidays & Events
Inside our Pin Power program, we’ve compiled an extensive list of 70+ winning niches that are currently thriving on Pinterest. But we don’t just give you a list – we provide detailed insights on how to:
- Assess your niche competition effectively
- Find untapped opportunities within your chosen market
- Position your content strategically to dominate your niche
- Identify trends and patterns for maximum growth
2. Does Your Niche Support Following Formats?
Look for evergreen content within your niche – things people will search for year-round. Problem-solving posts and visually appealing ideas perform exceptionally well.
Consider formats that naturally lend themselves to quick, scannable content:
Listicles:
People love numbered lists! Craft headlines like “44 Frugal Ways To Increase Your Savings (By Thousands)” or “10 Travel Hacks That Travellers Prefer NOT To Share.”
- Listicles (e.g., “10 Easy Ways College Students $700/m Without Missing Out on Fun”)
- How-to guides with step-by-step visuals
- Before-and-after transformations
- Infographics
- Seasonal content (e.g., holiday decor, seasonal recipes)
- Inspirational quotes or tips
- Checklists and printables
3. Visual Appeal
Assess if your content translates well into compelling images or infographics. Consider using tools like Canva for creating pin designs. Aim for a consistent visual theme across your pins.
Below are some examples of CTR Optimized Pin Design examples.

Audience Nature Of Pinterest:
Okay, I’ll admit it – I used to think Pinterest was all about pretty home decor and drool-worthy recipes. But then I started digging deeper…
Pinterest folks love a good dose of information, but they want it served up with a bit of a “WOW” factor.
Think about it: “14 MAGNIFICENT WD-40 HOUSEHOLD HACKS THAT’LL BLOW YOUR MIND” – that’s got a spark that makes you want to click. It’s got a promise of something exciting, something useful.
Compare that to the plain ol’ “How does wd-40 work” title, and you can see why it might not get the same love.
It’s all about grabbing attention and making your content feel like a treat to discover. A more engaging Pin title or design text will boost your CTR (outbound clicks).

Here’s a basic Pinterest SEO guide:
1. Setting up a Pinterest Business Account
Pinterest is a powerful platform for businesses to showcase their products, services, and ideas. A business account on Pinterest offers additional features and analytics that can help you grow your brand presence and drive traffic to your website.
Here’s how to get started:
Creating Your Account
If you’re new to Pinterest, start by visiting Pinterest.com and clicking “Sign Up.” Choose a username that represents your business and follow the prompts to create your account. If you already have a personal account, you can easily convert it to a business account in the settings.
For those starting fresh, after creating your basic account, you’ll want to convert it to a business account. This unlocks Pinterest’s analytics tools, providing valuable insights into your performance and audience. To convert, log into your account, go to settings, and select “Convert to Business Account.”
Setting Up Your Profile
Your profile is your brand’s face on Pinterest. Start by uploading a profile picture – this could be your logo or a professional photo if you’re a personal brand. Next, craft a compelling “About” section that clearly communicates what your business offers and why users should follow you.
Claiming Your Website
An essential step for businesses is claiming your website. This confirms to Pinterest that your blog or business site belongs to you, giving you access to deeper analytics and allowing your profile picture to appear on pins from your site.
To claim your website, go to your account’s “Settings” page and find “Claimed Accounts.” Click “Claim” next to your website and follow the instructions to insert a small code on your site.
2. Keyword Research
Effective keyword research is the backbone of a successful Pinterest strategy. Here’s how to uncover the best keywords for your pins and boards:
Pinterest Search Bar & Autocomplete (ABC Method)
The Pinterest search bar is a goldmine for keyword ideas:
- Start with a broad term related to your niche.
- Look at the autocomplete suggestions – these reflect real user searches.
- Use the ABC method: Type your broad term followed by each letter of the alphabet to uncover a wide range of popular searches.
Pro Tip: Look for keywords that show buyer intent, like “bedroom accent wall ideas”.
Leverage Pinterest Trends
Pinterest Trends is a powerful, free tool for keyword research:
Interest-Based Search:
- Go to Pinterest Trends and select an interest filter.
- Explore trending terms within your chosen category.
- Analyze weekly, monthly, and yearly change metrics to identify rising trends.
Keyword-Specific Search:
- Enter specific keywords to evaluate their performance over time.
- Compare data across related keywords.
- Use the Seasonal Trends filter to time your content perfectly.
Pinterest Trends data is invaluable. Many paid keyword tools simply repackage this freely available information.
Utilize the Pinterest Advertiser Tool
Even if you’re not running ads, the Pinterest Advertiser tool offers valuable keyword insights:
- Access hundreds of keyword ideas related to your niche.
- View search volumes for potential keywords.
- Discover new niche opportunities through related suggestions.
Implement a Seasonal and Holiday Strategy
Timing is crucial on Pinterest:
- Use Pinterest Trends to identify when searches for seasonal content begin to spike.
- Start pinning seasonal content 6-8 weeks before the actual season or holiday.
- Look for niche seasonal trends (e.g., “Boho Fall Decor” instead of just “Fall Decor”).
2. Creating Boards
Boards are where you organize your pins. Create boards that align with your business offerings and target audience interests.
Use keyword-rich titles and descriptions for your boards to improve their visibility in Pinterest searches. Consider creating a mix of public and secret boards – secret boards can be useful for planning future content or campaigns.
4. Designing Your First Pins
Pins are the content that users interact with on Pinterest. When creating pins, focus on high-quality, visually appealing images or graphics.
Vertical images tend to perform better on Pinterest, with a recommended aspect ratio of 2:3 or 1:2.1. Include descriptive, keyword-rich text in your pin descriptions to improve searchability.

5. Understanding Pinterest SEO
Pinterest functions like a visual search engine, so understanding basic SEO principles is crucial. Use relevant keywords in your profile, board titles, pin descriptions, and even in the text on your pin images. However, avoid keyword stuffing – aim for natural, readable content that provides value to your audience.
6. Utilizing Pinterest Analytics
Once your account is set up and you’ve started pinning, make use of Pinterest Analytics. This tool provides insights into your audience demographics, which pins are performing well, and what content is driving traffic to your site. Regularly reviewing these analytics can help you refine your Pinterest strategy over time.
7. Consistent Pinning Strategy
Consistency is key on Pinterest. Develop a pinning schedule that works for your business, aiming to pin regularly rather than in sporadic bursts.
You can use Pinterest’s built-in scheduling tool or third-party apps to plan your pins in advance.
8. Spy on Your Competition (Ethically!)
Start by diving into Pinterest’s search functionality. Enter broad terms related to your niche—let’s say “Cybersecurity”—and hit the search button.
Look for the “Filters” icon, and select “Profiles” from the menu. This filter reveals profiles featuring Pins that resonate with your niche or topic.
Take a moment to explore these profiles, paying special attention to their monthly views. This metric serves as a litmus test for their success.
You’re aiming to uncover at least three profiles boasting a minimum of 300K monthly views each. See profiles getting millions of views? That’s your cue to jump in!
