Do you have a strategy when pinning your content on Pinterest?
A pinning plan is important when it comes to optimizing your Pinterest boards. Set aside some time to determine how you are going to organize your account before you begin pinning.
Optimized boards on Pinterest are one of the many pieces to a healthy Pinterest marketing strategy that will result in:
- More Engagement
- Improved Pinterest SEO
- More Website Traffic
- Increase in Sales
Sounds great, right? Let’s dig into how to make it happen.
How Do I Optimize My Pinterest Boards?
Although an optimized Pinterest board may seem complicated at first, it really all comes down to having good organization and strategically adding keywords.
Here are a few helpful tips to get you started:
Keep related content together. Pinners will be shown related content after pinning a new pin so it’s important that all of the pins on your board are closely related.
Pin a variety of types of pins. Idea pins rank higher on Pinterest, so be sure to include them as well as static pins and video pins!
Have a clear board name. Your board name (or title) should inform pinners exactly what your board contains. Use keywords users are searching for but keep it brief.
Write a keyword-rich board description. Be clear and include your board name and other keywords within your description. Try to keep it casual and conversational (consider how someone would be searching for this content).
