Proof That Pinterest Sends Positive Ranking Signals To Google!

(Title Image Created With DALL-E 3)

Hi WA Friends!

Here's a quick post that shows how creating Pinterest pins can help your website rank on page one of Google, even in the midst of all the algorithm update mayhem!

A Little Background

After my guitar site was hit by the latest array of Google algorithm updates over the past three months, I started finding alternate ways to broaden my brand and send signals to Google that could help improve my ranking visibility on Google page one.

Why I Chose Pinterest

One of the social platforms/search engines I chose was Pinterest. Although the guitar niche is not strongly represented on Pinterest, it's quick and easy to automate with AI, and I love creating images of guitars and related equipment. Lol 😎

How Pinterest Results Can Rank Twice On Google!

Here's a recent example of two ways a Pinterest Pin can help rank on page one of Google.

1. Ranking in the Search Generative Experience (SGE)

Search generative experience is Google's AI search results tool that lets users quickly find a web page's key points, questions answered on the web page, and relevant sections to learn more.

Think of it as Bing's "Copilot."

It needs to be activated in your Google account from Google Beta Labs since it is still experimental. SGE won't appear in a Google incognito search screen since you're not signed in.

However, don't underestimate this beta version. SGE impacts an average of 85% of Google search queries!

Here is a screenshot of a standard Google search using a keyword for an article on my website.

Google's SGE Results.

As you can see, the Pinterest pin I created about one year ago (before I began automating pins with AI) is showing up in SGE, which takes a pin clicker to the article on my website. Google recognized the fact that my website is on Pinterest and referenced it in SGE between Reddit and Fender dot com.

2. Ranking in the Regular Google SERPS on Page One for Both Pinterest & My Site Article!

Searching for my article's keyword in a Google incognito window gives the following results.

Here, I'm ranking on page one for both the pin and the article on my website. Google has clearly gotten the message that my brand is on Pinterest! Even though I'm still underneath Quora's irrelevant and incorrect search results, the pin is helping me stay on page one.

I've also gotten similar results with Medium dot com!

Tell Me What You Think!

Are you using other search engine platforms like Pinterest and Medium to help you rank in Google's SGE and SERPS? What kind of results are you getting? Let me know in the comments.
