Pinterest Keyword Research for Boards, Pins, and Profiles
Learn how to use Pinterest-friendly keywords in board names, pin titles, descriptions, and profile bios.
Pinterest keywords help organize intent
Pinterest behaves more like a visual search engine than a traditional social feed. Keywords help users and Pinterest understand what your boards and pins are about.
Use clear phrases that match what a person might search for, not just clever brand language.

- Keep bios clear enough for a visitor to understand your niche quickly.
