What I’d fix first if your Pinterest SEO feels weak

Published 20 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

Let’s say your Pinterest traffic feels slow. Not dead. Not terrible. Just slower than it should be.

This is usually the point where people start tweaking everything. They reorganize boards, rename things, move pins around, and hope one of those changes finally does something.

But most of the time, that’s not where I’d start.

If I were trying to improve Pinterest SEO, here’s the order I’d look at first:

1. Keyword targeting​
Are you using search terms your audience is actually typing into Pinterest?

2. Pin titles​
Are your titles specific enough to help Pinterest understand the topic quickly?

3. Pin descriptions​
Are your descriptions reinforcing the topic with relevant language and context?

4. Content alignment​
Does the pin clearly match the content it leads to?

5. Consistency​
Are you publishing enough quality content over time for Pinterest to work with?

6. Boards​
Are your boards covering your main topics on your website using strong keyword phrases?

Boards can help. They can organize your content and add context.

Your Pins and boards work together, but if traffic feels slower than it should, it helps to know exactly what’s out of alignment.
​
If you want expert eyes on your account, apply for a Pinterest SEO Audit. I’ll review your Pins and boards, identify missed SEO opportunities, and give you clear next steps plus keyword recommendations. Apply here.

Cheers,

Hi Reader, I think one of the biggest reasons affiliate Pins underperform on Pinterest is because they feel like ads too fast. And people can feel that immediately. They can feel when a Pin was made to push a product instead of helping them find something useful, inspiring, or relevant to what they’re already looking for. That’s usually where things go wrong. A lot of affiliate Pins lead with: the product name the product image the fact that it’s linked But not the actual reason someone would...

Hi Reader, I’m not sure about you, but I’m really sick of advertising. And honestly?

Hi Reader, I dropped a new video today, and if you’ve ever felt like using ChatGPT is somehow helpful and annoying at the same time, this one is for you. Because here’s what I see a lot: People keep opening a fresh chat, pasting in the same giant block of instructions, and basically re-onboarding the bot every single time. And sure, that can work but it also gets clunky fast. So in this new video, I’m walking through the system I use instead. Not one magical prompt. Not some massive...
