The importance of pinterest SEO has not lost its relevance but I believe that the way of doing things has somewhat evolved. Now it is not as much about keyword optimizattion anymore, it is more about ressearching what people look for nd making relevant pins based on that.
Does pinterest SEO still matter as much as before?

The importance of pinterest SEO remains, but i believe that the emphasis has moved on from simply incorporatting keywords to figuring out why certain pins are saved and clicked. A good target pin with correct visual and intent will always prevail over an optimally optimised pin.

I've found that Pinterest SEO isn't as effective as it used to be. I don't think it's worth investing too much time in Pinterest anymore, you'd be better off focusing on stronger platforms with greater growth potential.

Pinterest SEO is more critical than ever, but the rules have shifted from keyword stuffing to visual AI and the TransActV2 algorithm, where AI reads text overlays alt, text and rewards long term Saves over short term clicks.

I have found Pinterest as the best for home decor produtcs, but not much else. It does much better than Isagram for my Home Decor products, or any other plateform to be honest.

pinterest seo still matters, especially keywords in your titles, descriptions, boards, and on-page content, but fresh useful pins and engagement seem just as important now
