Pinterest is a great platform for businesses to be in. It helps to boost brand awareness, connect to the target audience, drive traffic, and generate more revenue.

That is why you must optimize your Pinterest business account to make the most of the platform for your business.

Here are 9 Pinterest best practices you should do:

Organize your boards
Organizing your boards and creating categories where you add relevant pins are very important as it helps your users to navigate easily on your account and easily find your pins.

When people enjoy browsing your content and find your content very relevant, they are more likely to follow you on the platform.

Join communities
One of the best ways to get more people to find you and follow you is to stay active on the platform by joining communities and contributing to these communities.

Find communities around your niche or industry and connect with like-minded people.

Use correct pin dimensions
Make sure that you follow the right pin dimensions that Pinterest recommends to display your pins properly in your feed.

Brighten your pins
You may have not noticed, but Pinterest darkens images slightly when they are already posted and pinned. So, make sure that you increase the brightness and saturation of your pins before pinning.

Put your brand name
Putting your name on your pins is very important because you want to make sure that you take ownership of them so that when people share and pin them around, they get to see where the pin originated.

So, whether you choose your logo or your straight brand name, you only have to choose one and use it consistently in every pin you make.

Verify your website
You have to make sure that you verify your website on Pinterest so they are linked and people get to see your website domain right away. This too helps to drive traffic to your website.

Link to other social media
Link your Facebook and Twitter to Pinterest to help people find you easily on other social media platforms.

Store ideas
Use Pinterest ‘Like’ to store your ideas or potential pins to use or repin.

Monitor
Set a weekly schedule to check your Pinterest analytics and monitor your content so you know which content is doing great and which ones are not. This will help you come up with a better content strategy for your account.

If you haven’t done these Pinterest practices yet, make sure you do so you can make the most of your platform to boost brand awareness, connect to your target audience, drive traffic, and generate more revenue for your business.
