Pinterest Management

A Visual Discovery Engine

Pinterest boasts more than 300 million active users who have collectively created
over 200 billion pins. Unlike other social media networks, Pinterest is a visual search
engine. It works like this:

1. Publishers, or “pinners,” create
boards around specific themes or
products.

2. They then Pin visual content
to those boards.

3. Each Pin is accompanied by a
keyword optimized description.

4. Pinterest users search
the database of pins using
certain keyphrases.

5. If they see something they like,
they can Pin that content to their
own board or to someone else’s.

6. They can also choose to follow
certain pinners whose content
they find interesting.

Rich Pins versus regular Pins

Rich Pins Versus Regular Pins

Pinterest offers the option to post Rich Pins that provide additional context, including:

A bold title that displays with the image in the feed.
Additional descriptions for the Pin that enable greater keyword inclusion.
Your Pinterest account and photo.
A “follow” button.
Updates to reflect any changes to the linked page.

There are four main types of Rich Pins:

There are four main types of Rich Pins:

Product Rich Pins: They include real-time pricing, availability and other product details.
Recipe Rich Pins: Include ingredients, cooking time, serving size and recipe rating.
Article Rich Pins: Display a headline, author and meta description.
App Rich Pins (iOS only): Display buttons that lets users download an app without leaving Pinterest.

At Brafton, we always favor Rich Pins over regular Pins to help improve your content’s discoverability on the platform, boost engagement, build brand awareness and drive traffic to your site.

Why Pinterest?

The purpose of pinning content to a Pinterest board is to remember it. This makes the content far less ephemeral than feed-based social media channels such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. In fact, the lifespan of the average Pin is a few thousand times greater than that of a Facebook post.

Pinterest is also a more e-commerce friendly channel than other social networks. More than 90% of pinners have used the channel to plan, research or make purchases. For B2C companies that sell physical products, Pinterest is basically a second online store. For B2B marketers, Pinterest has value as a way to visually promote content.

Pinterest is also unique in that it is as much a search engine network as it is a social media platform. Much like a Google image search, the content is all visual, while keywords used in the title and description of boards, pins and images help influence which content will populate the search results.

In addition to keyword relevance, some of the factors that influence
Pinterest search rankings include:

The number of clicks, saves, comments
and embeds your pins receive.

Number of followers.

How many pins your brand engages with.

Website Pin origination (Pinterest favors
pins that originate from commonly
pinned domains).

Rich pins vs regular pins.

Every Pin is a link back to your website that potentially increases traffic to your
domain, which sends positive signals to search engines.
