Hey BHW members,
I'm exploring ways to use Pinterest more strategically for SEO and promoting my own services. Has anyone here seen solid results using Pinterest for traffic, backlinks, or brand exposure? Would love tips on boards, pins, keyword usage, and automation tools!

Pinterest was used in the past as a parasites but sometimes the results weren't consistent. At least in my case. Pinterest is best suited to promote content and businesses of websites that are in niches popular on Pinterest. If your service is one of those, better to use Pinterest as your traffic source and optimize for that.

Hmmm I’ve heard Pinterest worked as a parasite SEO method before, but consistency was always hit or miss. I totally agree, it seems to favour certain niches like fashion, food, DIY, travel, wellness, etc. Do you think it's still worth trying if you're in a less visual niche, like tech or digital marketing? Maybe through infographics or quote-style visuals?

I don't think it's worth spending that much time on it if your niche isn't one of those popular niches.

But you could still try, give it a shot and see what happens.

Got it, fair enough. I’ll give it a light try and see what happens. Thanks for the honest feedback!

@HenryObi How would you say is the best way to warm up pinterest accounts for these SEO promotions? In the past i've been too aggressive, leading to bans on all my accounts (filling out profile day 1, start posting + repinning day 2)

Do you find accounts are much healthier and live longer when you leave them like 3+ days before working on them? or maybe just liking posts for a week like a real user or something... not sure what the answer is here

I don't do it, so I don't know hownto warm up account for SEO.

But warming up account for Pinterest traffic, I would say pin once daily for the first week then move to 1 to 4 pins per day. By the 4th week you should be good enough to pin more than 4.

I don't pin immediately after creation. I only do very minor account settings change. I don't even interact at all. So, you could log in and scroll the app maybe once daily. Before you start pinning.

Note that, I don't follow this strictly. Because I don't see the need that much. Sometimes Pinterest just bans your account irrespective of what you do.

Great thank you. I'll do that then

Not every niche works well on Pinterest. It mainly attracts women looking for product ideas.

 

[GenesisOne]

Your offer must be women's interest-related if you want to have any success on Pinterest.

Pinterest can boost SEO and drive traffic! Optimise board titles/descriptions with keywords, design eye-catching pins, use Tailwind for scheduling, and join group boards for increased exposure and backlinks.

 

[DylanBailey]

Use simple keywords in your pin titles and descriptions. It helps people find you on Google too.

Pinterest can be effectively used for both SEO and
self-promotion. By optimizing your profile, boards,
and pins with relevant keywords, engaging visuals,
and descriptive text, you can improve your visibility
in Pinterest search results and drive traffic to
your website

Pinterest works great for evergreen traffic—optimize pins with niche keywords in titles, descriptions, and alt text.
Create themed boards, stay consistent, and link pins to blog posts or landing pages.
For scaling, try tools like Tailwind or PinGenerator to automate posting and repins.

Pinterest is a visual search engine. I think if you want to use it to get backlink wont take you very far. I own a food niche blog that gets good traffic from Pinterest. i use Pinterest for traffic generation not SEO.

Join group boards in your niche to expand your audience quickly.

 

[calista1996]

Focus on creating highly visual pins. Make sure your images or videos are top-notch and grab attention.

 

[zoefrancis]

Create niche boards and organize pins around specific topics.

 

[AidenMorgan]

Create niche boards around your services and consistently pin relevant content to establish authority.

 

[elijhparker]

Recycle blog content into multiple pins. New designs keep it fresh and boost impressions.
