Curate Your Pinterest Home Feed
When you log into Pinterest and go to your home page, the pins that show up there are curated based on the latest activity, boards, and favorite topics. If you begin to see pins you’re not interested in, you can do the following steps.
Click on the three dots in the top right corner
Click “tune your home feed”
Turn “off and on” the recommendations in the last column and that will help curate your home feed with pins you want to see.
Once you’re done, go back to your home page.

A Few More Tips For Your Pinterest Business Account
Follow at least 50 niche relevant pinners (after you follow those 50, try to follow at least 2-3 new people every week
Don’t focus on vanity metrics - focus on engagement, saves, and click-throughs to your website
Create Board covers. It is not necessary but if you want them - create a square image related to your board using your brand colors
Well, that’s all folks!
