Pinterest SEO checker
Pinterest is a search engine as much as a social network. Paste the text of a pin before you publish it and get a score out of 100, with a list of what to fix so the pin has a better chance of showing up when people search.
How to use the pinterest SEO checker
- Decide the one search phrase this pin should rank for.
- Paste the title, description and the board you will save it to.
- Fix the red items, then check again.
What the score is based on
Pinterest's own guidance says its search uses the text of the pin, the board it is saved to, and the page it links to. The checker looks at the parts you control in the pin itself:
- The keyword in the title, and the title length.
- The keyword in the description, especially in the first line people see.
- Description length (Pinterest allows 500 characters).
- A clear call to action, without stuffing in hashtags.
- A board name that matches the topic.
A score of 80 or more means the text is in good shape. Remember the image and the landing page matter too: a clear vertical image (2:3) and a fast page that matches the pin.
Questions
Do hashtags help on Pinterest?
They are optional. Pinterest search relies on titles and descriptions, so a few relevant hashtags are fine but they are not needed.
What is a good description length?
Between 150 and 500 characters, with the main keyword in the first sentence.
