Boards or keywords? What matters more for Pinterest SEO


Hi Reader,

If you’ve been spending a lot of time organizing boards and wondering whether that’s the thing that will finally move the needle for your Pinterest traffic, this is for you.

Because while boards can still help with organization and context, they are not the main thing I’d focus on if your Pinterest SEO feels weak.

Keywords matter more.

They give Pinterest stronger signals about what your content is about, who it’s for, and when it should surface your pins in search.

So if your traffic is slow or your content is not getting found, I’d look at your keyword strategy before I spent more time fussing over board organization.

That’s exactly what I’m breaking down in this week’s new video:

Watch the video: Pinterest SEO — Boards vs Keywords

Inside, I’m walking through:

  • where boards still matter
  • where people tend to over-focus on them
  • why keywords do more of the heavy lifting
  • what to prioritize first if you want your content to get found

If Pinterest SEO has felt a little murky lately, this will help clear it up.

Go watch it here:

Hey Reader, If you’re only making one product Pin per offer, this might explain a lot. Most people design a beautiful Pin, publish it, and move on. Then they wonder why traffic is inconsistent or why saves don’t turn into clicks. Here’s the problem. Not every product Pin is meant to do the same job. Some Pins are meant to clarify.Some are meant to inspire.Some are meant to help people decide. In my newest YouTube video, I’m breaking down the three types of product Pins you should be making if...

Hey Reader, If you’ve ever looked at your Pinterest analytics and thought: “This Pin has huge impressions but no clicks,” or “This one has tons of saves but isn’t driving traffic,” your first instinct is probably to fix the Pin. New design. New copy. New keywords. And sometimes, yes — that is the issue. Sometimes it's lack of context in the text overlay or lack of design that catches the eye. But very often, the problem isn’t the Pin at all. It’s that you’re expecting every Pin to do the same...
