Hi Israel.

Could you tell me whether I should be a person on Yoast SEO for Pinterest or an organization? I think I have already claimed my Pinterest account as my posts come up on Pinterest.

I understood most of your explanation here of how to get Rich Pins showing on Pinterest with Yoast. However, I got stuck when I saw Organisation Social Profiles.

That option doesn't come up as I am showing as a Person, not Organisation in my Yoast dashboard...

Hope that's clear?

Kindly advise...

Hey Stella, it depends on whether you want to operate a personal or business account. If you desire to continue as a person, a personal account would suffice. I hope I spoke your mind!

Thank you, Israel,

I certainly learned a lot here on how to validate Rich Pins. I am interested to know what the added information is that will be displayed with my pin once validated as a Rich Pin?

Thanks for stopping by, Alex! Yeah, you'll find information relevant to your blog niche. And that's why a link to any of your blog posts is required for rich pin validation. Thanks for the curiosity, my friend! See you at the top soon!

Hi Israel
Great Training thanks.
Shouldn't users deactivate the All in one SEO plugin, before installing the Yoast plugin?
Most Websites from WA come with the All in one SEO ready installed.
All in one SEO has this function also and you can activate social meta tags.
Cheers Sylvia
