For years, Pinterest has grown in popularity with women and men of many age groups . They use it as a source to find good information and ideas, and can place it all in an easy to access, well-organized space they can turn to when they need it.

Pinterest is its own form of search engine, and if you’re not positioning your brand for discoverability there, you’re missing out. It has enormous viral potential and the way it’s set up makes this not only easy, but part of the pinning process.

It’s now a place for both image and video-based content, and while images make up the majority of content shared there, videos can help you stand out in a primarily static feed for consumers.

Artificial intelligence (AI), with its attention to brand detail and ability to analyze the preferences and behaviors of your target audience, can help you develop a strong content plan that has more potential for viral sharing, engagement and conversions.

AI-Powered Pinterest Content

Content on Pinterest has many components. Because it’s a visual-based social media platform, you must have an image or video clip that draws attention and stands out in the feed.

There are different ratios you can choose from and AI can guide you on what’s recommended for your niche and purpose. The text overlap will be shown on top. Some marketers don’t use these, but it’s helpful in showing the reader what the pin is about.

AI can write your text overlay and even advise you on which fonts to use. You’ll need a description that gives more context to the pin. AI can craft a description that is perfectly optimized to show up in search results.

An effective pin wouldn’t be complete without a strong call to action statement. What do you want them to do next after they’ve seen the pin? You can have AI craft a CTA for them to download a free lead magnet, purchase something, etc.

You can sometimes use DALL-E built into ChatGPT to create Pins, but you might just want to have it advise you and then take the input over to a Canva template, an image AI tool like Midjourney or Ideogram, or a video AI tool to complete the job.

AI can create a content plan based on what’s currently trending and going viral within the platform. This helps you crack the code for being in a position to get pinned and shared by thousands of people.

Optimizing Pins for Results

We’ve touched upon the fact that AI can optimize content for search and conversions but let’s dig into how it works. SEO (search engine optimize) is going to be critical for your pinning success.

People go on this platform to search for things they want. You have to use AI to ensure your pins get a boost with the right keywords, descriptions, board titles and pin titles. You can even have it add the most effective hashtags to use for each pin.

AI can take your overall marketing strategy and help you optimize a plan for organizing your pins in a way that appeals most to their users. By categorizing and organizing the pins, you’ll increase your follower count and have more people engaging with and sharing your content.

If your pins begin lagging, AI can advise you on how to freshen them up for improved performance. This might be by updating the SEO, changing the visuals, etc. One thing that’s also going to optimize your account is consistency.

AI can create a schedule for pinning that allows you to regularly share content at a time when your audience is most active on the platform. This includes knowing when to share certain types of content, like seasonal topics.
