Are You Writing Effective Pinterest Descriptions
Are you writing effective pin descriptions? Pinterest allows you 500 characters that you can use to define your particular pin and then it uses that information or the keywords which are within that pin description to actually tag and identify your content and show it to the most relevant users online. Read on to find out the seven simple steps that you need to follow when you actually write a pin description so that it is engaging and click-worthy.
Did you know publishing the same content over and over does nothing for your pins!
Why?
Pinterest wants you to add new content with new images, new titles, and new descriptions. Your audience doesn’t want to see the exact same pin over and over again either.
Although it will take more time to create additional pin versions of the same blog post, creating new content is what improves your SEO which is the most important thing for a successful blog and Pinterest business account.
When you’re blogging, it can be easy to get wrapped up in creating multiple gorgeous pins for your blog posts. What we love about Pinterest is that it’s a visual search engine and you get better results when your pins are attractive. But here’s the thing: you can have the most beautiful Pinterest pins in the world, however, they won’t get you many views, repins, or clicks if they’re missing something critical: optimized pin descriptions.
What is a pin description?
A pin description is a brief and concise paragraph that describes what your blog post is about.
It tells Pinterest pinners what to expect in the post you want them to read.
The goal of the pin description is to attract pinners to click on your pin and read more about the topic described.
