It’s no secret that we are in that in-between phase. The holidays are over, everyone has made (and possibly broken) their New Year’s resolutions and we are all waiting around for spring to arrive. But that doesn’t mean that your Pinterest business plan should stop! Pinterest users are planners and are already searching for the events in February and March and even into springtime. We have create a list of keywords that you may want to focus on in your strategy, depending on your niche.

How to use Pinterest Keywords

To make the most of trending keywords on Pinterest, think about what your audience is searching for and create content that fits those interests. Incorporate relevant keywords into your pin titles, descriptions, and board names to make your content easier to find. For example, if “DIY Valentine’s Day gifts” is popular, you could share a step-by-step tutorial or feature a product that ties into that theme. Be sure your pins are visually appealing and match the season’s vibe, as Pinterest users are drawn to creative and inspiring content. You can use Pinterest’s search bar or tools like Pinterest Trends to discover what’s gaining traction, then tailor your pins to those topics. By doing this, you’ll not only increase your reach but also attract the right audience to your business.
