Let's prepare you the Business Pinterest Profile so that it looks attractive to visitors, increase your chances of finding you at Pinterest, and therefore get more visitors to your site.

  1. Sign in to your new Pinterest Business Account, and in the top right corner go through the profile icon and click Settings.
  2. Here you will upload a profile photo - the best size: 165 x 165 pixels.
    It's best to be your profile image, which you use on the site and on other social networks, even here at WA, for people to recognize. Yes, it can also be your logo from your site.
  3. Fill out the section "About you" - here you have limited space characters, so be wise.
    Try to get people interested in your site with just a few words. They also have to be keywords for Pinterest search.
  4. Add your business location
  5. Then click the Save Settings button.

As I wrote Pinterest is a search engine, so, when you fill out the "About You" section, be careful when choosing keywords, because this can have an impact on your entire Pinterest account.

Remember that these keywords have a ranking and affect other searches.

For example: if someone is searching for a "purple prom dresses" board, whose board is to pop up in the results? Someone named "Julle - the most beautiful prom dresses" or "Molly"?

Your Pinterest account name should do two things:

  1. Tell people what your profile is all about.
  2. Get new people to find your account by adding relevant keywords there.

Before you finish your profile, type the keywords you use in the Pinterest browser and see how other people's profiles look. You will probably get some inspiration on how to improve your Pinterest profile.

Also, follow these people (click Follow on their profile). By following other people from your niche, you increase your visibility and you will quickly see that the number of followers on your profile will increase.

I advise you to follow of 10-20 new people from your niche daily.

This is great information so thank you for creating this lesson! Do the graphics you create to make the pin visually appealing have to come from the exact blog post you are promoting?

To be honest, I did not understand your question very well. Can you please explain to me what exactly you mean?

After clicking "visit site" on a pin, the image that was pinned is on the blog. In other instances, it is not.

You can add any image directly to the Pinterest and add a link to whatever you want. Some people use Pinterest for affiliate marketing although they do not have their site. They set affiliate links directly to the pin.
I hope this is a good answer to your question. :)

Hi Jalena,
Great tutorial. Well I seems to be having a little problem pinning from pinterest lately.

Before, I can just pin from pinterest when it asked me which website I will be using. I would then pin the related image from my website and viola, done.

Now, when I do that I only get the same images and I can't pin my latest post, anymore. The only way I can pin it to pinterest now is to go directly into my post and share it from there.

I did however put up a landing page and put all my post in my blog tab. I noticed that it started with the issue after that. And, I like my website as is for now.

I even tried website name dot come/blog and nothing.

Is there something I'm not doing or is there even a fix?

Hi Kelyee,
I`m sure that problem is on the site, not on the Pinterest site. Did you change your social media widget?
One of the solutions can be to install Tailwind toolbar, so you can click from any page you are on and pin directly to Pinterest.
