What makes a good pin description
Pins surface in search months after you post them, so the description is doing SEO work, not feed work. Put the phrase people would type into Pinterest search in the first sentence, say plainly what someone gets when they click through, and spend the remaining characters on related keywords woven into normal sentences. Keyword stuffing reads badly to people and does not help with Pinterest either.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a Pinterest description be?
Pinterest allows up to 500 characters. Around 100 to 300 characters is the sweet spot: enough room for your main keyword, what the pin links to, and a couple of related phrases.
Is a pin description the same as a caption?
Pinterest calls it a description, and it behaves differently from a caption on Instagram or Facebook: it is indexed for search rather than shown prominently in a feed. That is why keywords matter more here than hooks.
Should I use hashtags on Pinterest?
Lightly. Two to five relevant hashtags at the end of the description can help discovery, but plain keywords in natural sentences carry more weight in Pinterest search.
