Step 2: Research
Pinterest is a visual search engine and the words you put into your content should actually be words people are using to search what they are looking for, AKA keywords. To be discovered on Pinterest, you must use exactly the right keywords.
Take a little time to research the most relevant keywords for your brand, your business, or your blog. Once you know what those are, USE them! They will go in your pin titles, pin descriptions, and text overlay so that Pinterest knows exactly what your content is about to show when people are looking for it.

Step 3: Boards
Use the board’s feature. Pinterest boards help you organize your content and give the algorithm more context to understand your pins. This matters a lot! Without using specific board names using keywords, Pinterest will take longer to index your organic content. Boards are like files, make sure to name and describe them properly using the keywords you’d like to see your content ranking for.
Step 4: Start Pinning
Pins on Pinterest are the equivalent of social media posts, except that they are like book covers, the first look pinners will have of your content. Pins should be a combination of attractive images that make the pinner stop scrolling and click!
