Pinterest has been a consistent source of traffic, leads, and sales for us here at Marketing Solved. Just last month, we had 3.6 monthly organic (free) impressions…and we gained 800 new followers.

Want to hear the BEST part? We did *very little* marketing. We’re simply using an evergreen traffic strategy tied directly into SEO. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is one of the most powerful tools you can leverage for Pinterest – because with just a few tweaks to your profile & pins, you’ll be able to massively increase your results.

One thing you’ll want to keep in mind about Pinterest and why it’s so powerful compared to other networks.

Pinterest is a search based platform.

Meaning – people go to Pinterest to search for things they are looking for. It’s like Google…but all the results are images. This means – the more relevant your keywords are, the more likely you can rank as a higher search result. The more you can do this – the more exposure, repins, followers, and clicks you’ll get.
