- Thread starter PaulRD

That’s exactly what made me create my own Pinterest keyword research tool, I had to invest some time and money but it was worth it. It gets data from Pinterest directly so granteed 100% accuracy. It has so many functionalities that help me plan keywords to target.

For effective keyword research on Pinterest, rely on the platform’s search bar suggestions, analyze top rnking pins in your niche, and combine broad keywords with long tail phrases to match real user search intent rather than depending only on third party tools.

Forget inaccurate tools and focus on researching directly on the platform, manually searching for keywords, and analyzing your competition. Optimize your Pins with titles and descriptions rich in relevant keywords, and create attractive, vertical images. Also, post consistently and use Pinterest Analytics to see what works and adjust your strategy. Two additional strategies are: joining Pinterest groups relevant to your niche and sharing your Pins there, and creating short, engaging video Pins, as Pinterest is promoting this format.

Best approach is to rely on Pinterest search suggestions and your own analytics more than third party tools type keywords in search bar note auto suggestions and test them with real pins then track impressions and saves to see what actually works

Pinterest search suggestions and trends give more reliable keyword ideas than third-party tools like Pinclicks.

use native search on Pinterest type keywords and note autosuggest and related pins. Check top-performing pins in your niche, analyze their titles/descriptions, and patterns. Combine with trends and test multiple variations real platform data beats third-party tools.

same experience here. Most Pinterest tools are inaccurate. I mostly use Pinterest search/autosuggest itself now. Way more reliable than third party data.

Totally agree — native tools win here. I pretend to run a dummy ad in Pinterest Ads Planner to pull the exact volumes and related terms, then skim the search suggestions and the Trends graph for seasonality. Pair that with a quick manual check on the top pins in your niche to sanity‑check intent. For local biz, target long‑tails that show clear local intent and seasonal spikes. Pinclicks can help with ideas, but don’t trust the volumes.
