You would probably ask, what's the difference between personal and business account?
There are 3 main differences that you can look forward to:
1. Building Trust with your verified Website - Getting verified is easy. Simply go to your Settings -> Profile -> "Click Confirm Website" and follow the instructions. Once your website is verified by Pinterest automated script (just like how you verified your website with Google webmaster or Analytics). You have an official Pinterest Business Page.
2. Access to Pinterest Business Analytics - Personal account does not support analytics and with a business account you are able to track the trends, popular pins and boards that are driving traffic to your website. However, you will need to have your website verified.
3. Access to Rich Pins - With Rich pins, you are able to have better control over user experience. For example, how a click on a pin leads the user to the website or adding prices to your pins if you are selling some products and if there is a drop in price of product that is pinned, people who have viewed and show interests will get to see a automated notification with you just updating the price. Imagine what you can do with this cool feature.
I am sure that there are many other benefits..
