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. Pinterest users, or “pinners,” create boards around specific themes or products.

2. They then Pin graphics and other visual content to those boards.

3. Each Pin is accompanied by a keyword-optimised description.

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

5. Pinners can Pin that content to their own board or to someone else’s.

6. They can also follow other pinners whose content they find interesting.

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 profile and photo.
A “follow” button to encourage greater engagement.
Updates to reflect any changes to the linked page.

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 favour Rich Pins over regular Pins to help improve your content’s discoverability on the platform, boost engagement, build brand awareness and drive Pinterest 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 more e-commerce friendly 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, making a strong Pinterest marketing strategy essential. For B2B marketers, Pinterest has value as a way to visually promote content and gain brand recognition.

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 Pinterest followers your account has.

How many Pins your brand engages with.

Website Pin origination (Pinterest favours 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. These types of signals are a core aspect of a strong off-page SEO strategy.
