Boards or keywords? What matters more for Pinterest SEO

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

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:

Cheers,

Heather

Hi Reader, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much pressure there is to show up everywhere. Instagram. YouTube. Pinterest. LinkedIn. Email. Blogging. But being on more platforms doesn’t automatically mean better marketing. What matters is choosing the places that actually make sense for your business, your audience, and the way you want to create content. That’s what I talked about in today’s YouTube video: How to Choose Which Content Platforms Are Worth Your Time. Watch the video here...

Hello Reader, Be honest: you’ve judged a Pin in half a second before. You’re scrolling, you see a design, and your brain immediately decides one of three things: “Wait, I need this.” “Cute, but no.” “What am I even looking at?” And that tiny little split-second decision is exactly why Pin design matters. Not because your Pins need to be the most beautiful thing anyone has ever seen on the internet. They don’t. But they do need to do their job quickly. A good Pin should help someone...
