Drilling Down Into Pinterest Analytics!
(Title image by DALL-E 3)
Hi WA Friends!
Are you checking your Pinterest analytics? Here's a quick look at how to drill down to get more info about the pins you create and re-pin.
Are Pinterest Analytics Any Good?
I find the the analytics for most social channels are adequate but not great for giving you the complete picture of what's happening. However, Pinterest does give you a decent amount of information if you drill down far enough.
Apps like Tailwind can give you a more complete picture of your pin analytics.
More analytic info allows you to make more intelligent decisions regarding your pinning strategy.
Also, don't forget that Google Analytics can give you additional data about your pins! I love GA4, which is a treasure trove of data for everything related to your online property!
Drilling Down For Additional Info
Your basic Pinterest business analytics can be viewed by selecting Overview, Audience Insights, Conversion Insights, or Trends from the main Analytics Menu (see the red arrow below).
The analytics overview will give you the following analytic functionality:
Whereas the Audience Insights give you something like this:
However, you can drill down even more by looking at an individual pin. Here's an example of a guitar and amp pin.
It has the following 30-day analytics:
However, click on "See more stats" and you can get even more analytics by selecting parameters for Date Range, Content Type, Device, and Source.
Here's an example of how you can see the lifetime (12/11/2023 - 5/24/2024) outbound clicks for the pin by selecting the appropriate filters (the red arrows).
As you can see, good pins don't just get outbound clicks when you post them and then stop bringing people to your site over time. They can continue to get you traffic for quite a while!
I'm certainly no Pinterest expert, but I hope that gave you a better idea of how to use Pinterest Analytics to your benefit. 😎
However, don't forget the secret sauce that can make Pinterest analytics really jump out at you: streaming your favorite tunes in the background! I have some Motorhead happening right now and it works pretty well! Lol 😂 ⚡️ 🔥
So, give it a try in your Pinterest profile, AND ...
Keep On Rockin'! 🤘

Analytics can give us a real advantage over our competitors who don’t use it. Plus, I cheat by using AI. Lol 😆
We both eat, sleep, and drink guitars, so we know what other players would like to see. 😃
Rock the Long Memorial Day weekend! 🤘⚡️🤘

You got that right, Frank!
Guitars and music in general are ways of life for some of us! 🎶🎸😎

I’m trying to get to one million monthly Pinterest views. Its currently over 700,000/month, so we’ll see.

Great info Frank! My Pinning days are still in their infancy (or embryo stage if you like)!!
But... I have book marked this to come to at a later stage!
I do love checking stats though!!
Having a Rockin' start to the weekend my friend!!
👍🍻🎸😎
Thanks, Nick!🙏
I started successfully using Pinterest analytics when I was at the "zygote" stage, so your embryonic days are more than enough to get you where you want to go! 😎
There's nothing better than analytics combined with Rock N' Roll!; well - maybe a FriSatSuMo (Memorial Day on Monday in the USA)! Lol 😂 🌭 🍔 🍺 🍹
(Yeah, I'll go very easy on the booze, perhaps half of Stacy's first cocktail, Haha 🤣)
Keep On Rockin'! 🤘⚡️🤘

We got down here in one piece, already had a poolside barbie with a cocktail or two (obviously)! 🤣🍹

A short power nap by the pool would be just the thing to recharge you for the nighttime festivities!
